While we provide tools and products for both DIYers and professionals, we recommend a professional Epoxy Flooring installation to ensure a long-lasting, moisture-resistant finish in Canadian basements.
A professional installation using our Ultra-brand 100% solid epoxies offers several advantages over standard retail kits:
- Moisture Management: We create a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks vapor migration, preventing the dampness and mold common in Alberta’s climate.
- Professional Preparation: Unlike simple acid etching found in many kits, we use dust-free Diamond Grinding, Shot Blasting, or Scarifying to open the concrete pores for a superior mechanical bond.
- ASTM Testing: Before application, we conduct moisture testing (ASTM F1869 or F2170) to ensure the slab is ready for coating, avoiding future blistering or delamination.
- Custom Safety and Style: Our systems feature built-in slip resistance that won’t wear off, and we offer a wide array of finishes including Metallic Floor effects, decorative flakes, and solid tones.
Our team is ready to design and install the decorative concrete surface that is right for you. To ensure a flawless finish your business or home deserves, we invite you to Get A Quote for a custom installation tailored to your specific slab conditions.
