HOW EVERY EFC FLOOR GETS INSTALLED.

Every Epoxy Floors Canada installation follows the same five-step process: slab assessment, diamond grinding with a Werkmaster Raptor XT planetary grinder, primer system, system-specific base coat and decorative layer, and topcoat cure. Dust is captured at the source by a Bartell HD1 HEPA extractor. No shortcuts, no variation between jobs.

Every floor follows the same 7-step system. No shortcuts, no skipped steps. Here is exactly what happens from the day we show up to the day you park on it.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Diamond grinding with a Werkmaster XT planetary grinder to CSP 3. Bartell HD1 HEPA dust extractor captures 99.97% of particulate in real time. No dust in your house. Every slab gets profiled - never acid etched.

MOISTURE CHECK

Every slab gets a non-invasive moisture reading before we choose a system. For new concrete slabs or elevated moisture conditions, we provide dedicated moisture testing and mitigation as part of the project scope.

PRIMER APPLICATION

Rockhard Fusion Primer seals the concrete pores, prevents outgassing (the cause of bubbles and pinholes), and creates a molecular bond with the base layer. Independent testing shows 925 PSI adhesion - the concrete breaks before the bond does. We prime every job. No exceptions.

BASE COAT & BROADCAST

100% solids epoxy base layer applied at 15-20 mils. For flake systems, we broadcast to rejection - throwing chips until no wet coating is visible. For metallic, we pour thick (20-40 mils) and manipulate the pattern by hand. For quartz, natural aggregate is broadcast into the wet base for maximum grip.

TOPCOAT APPLICATION

Two layers of hard-wearing polyaspartic topcoat go on last. It locks in the colour, seals out abrasion, and gives the floor its final look.

48-HOUR CURE & HANDOVER

Once cured, we walk the floor with you, confirm everything looks right, and hand over care instructions. Built to look this good for up to 15 years.
