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.

What are the Benefits of 100% Solids Epoxy for Industrial Floors?
Read More »100% solids epoxy coatings offer superior durability and protection for heavy-duty industrial floors, especially in the demanding climates of Alberta and British Columbia. Unlike water-based or solvent-based alternatives, these systems contain no volatile solvents or water, meaning they do not shrink during the curing process. This results in a dense, high-build finish that provides flawless […]

How does 100% Solids Epoxy Differ from Water-based Coatings?
Read More »The primary difference lies in the chemical composition and resulting durability of the finish. 100% solids epoxy consists entirely of resin and hardener without water or solvents, whereas water-based coatings use water as a carrier that must evaporate to cure. Here are the specific ways these systems differ: Our team is ready to design and […]

Can Epoxy Coatings Withstand Alberta’s Freeze-thaw Cycles on Driveways?
Read More »Yes, our epoxy coatings are specifically engineered to withstand Alberta’s extreme climate. Our prairie winters, which routinely drop below -30°C, and summers that exceed +30°C, create relentless freeze-thaw cycles that cause standard concrete to expand and contract. This stress often leads to cracking or delamination in inferior products. We address these challenges by using high-performance […]

Is Epoxy Flooring a Good Moisture Barrier for Canadian Basements?
Read More »Yes, a professionally applied epoxy system is an excellent moisture barrier for Canadian basements. Because concrete is naturally porous, water vapour can rise through the slab, leading to dampness and mold. Our high-performance, 100% solid Ultra-brand epoxy systems create a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks moisture vapour and resists hydrostatic pressure. In the unique climate […]
