Need a high performance flooring option?

Consider polished concrete…

Concrete flooring installations entail a multi-level process, especially when working with any large areas. Commercial, industrial and warehouse concrete flooring projects can be daunting tasks and each floor and every customer’s needs are different.

Our process, including detailed preparation, joint filling and concrete overlay, can make all the difference. Thorough preparation will ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish. Joint filling will help to protect the joint as well as keep our resin out of the joint, ensuring the joint can move beneath our coating. A concrete overlay can add years to the life of your floor and create a specific ambiance designed especially for your business.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • the conditions, wear and tear your floors be exposed to
  • certain polished surfaces might not be appropriate for wet conditions
  • high traffic areas may require a darker colour to give the floor a longer life and keep maintenance to a minimum
  • this type of surface when coated with a sealer, is stain-resistant to dirt and grease; only routine cleaning and maintenance required
  • installation costs average between $3 – $10/sq ft depending on installation specifics; please note that more elaborate finishes can cost more

If you’re looking for a high performance flooring option, polished concrete offers resilient wear and tear, durability and easy maintenance.

Call the experts! Hardscapes offers the option of brand new concrete flooring, as well as repair, resurfacing and restoration of any concrete floor surface.

Whether it’s a large warehouse, an underground garage/parkade, or an industrial or commercial space, Hardscapes can take care of all your specific concrete flooring needs. Call 403-547-5597 to learn more about our services.

Main advantages of polyaspartic floor coatings

Hardscapes is a Calgary-based company that specializes in providing high-quality flooring solutions for high-end custom home builders and general contractors, residential homeowners, retail/commercial flooring, restaurants, and warehouse/industrial flooring.

One type of floor coating we use is polyaspartic coating. It is a type of floor coating that has gained popularity in recent years due to their fast curing time, durability, and long-lasting properties. These coatings are made from a type of polyurea resin that has been modified with aspartic acid. This modification process gives the coating its unique properties that make it ideal for flooring applications.

One of the main advantages of polyaspartic coatings is their fast curing time. They can cure in as little as two hours, which means that the coated surface can be back in use in a short amount of time. This is particularly useful in commercial and industrial settings where downtime can be costly. Additionally, the fast curing time reduces the likelihood of dust or debris settling on the surface, ensuring a smooth finish.

Polyaspartic coatings are also very durable and long-lasting. They have excellent abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and chemical resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic areas, such as busy residential households, warehouses, factories, and commercial kitchens, to name a few. They are also UV-resistant, which means that they won’t yellow or fade when exposed to sunlight.

In addition to their practical benefits, polyaspartic coatings are also aesthetically pleasing. They come in a range of colours and finishes, including matte, gloss, and metallic. They can also be customized with decorative patterns, logos, or designs, making them ideal for retail spaces, showrooms, and other areas where appearance is important.

If you have a project you’d like to get underway give us a call at 403-547-5597. We’re here and available to answer all your concrete floor finishing questions.
