100% solids epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane cement, and ESD coatings — installed correctly the first time. WSIB compliant, $5M insured, no shortcut surface prep.
Three different coating chemistries for three different commercial environments. The right system depends on your floor traffic, chemical exposure, wash-down practices, and return-to-service timeline.
We also install ESD (electrostatic discharge) flooring rated to ANSI/ESD S20.20 for electronics manufacturers, server rooms, and explosive-environment workshops. Moisture-vapour barrier primers, novolac chemical-resistant systems, and decorative quartz/flake broadcast finishes are available on request.
Different facilities need different coating systems. Below are the commercial environments where we most often install epoxy floors across the GTA.
100% solids epoxy with non-slip aggregate. Forklift aisles, racking zones, loading dock ramps. Embedded safety lines and pedestrian markings.
Chemical-resistant epoxy or novolac systems for assembly lines, machine bases, and chemical handling areas. ESD systems for electronics manufacturing.
Urethane cement, food-grade compliant. Dairies, breweries, meat processing, bakeries, beverage bottling. Handles daily wash-downs.
Polyaspartic showroom floors (UV stable, decorative flake) and chemical-resistant service bay floors that handle hot tires, oil, and brake fluid.
Urethane cement for restaurant kitchens, ghost kitchens, and food service. Slip-resistant texture meets MOL workplace safety standards.
Lab back-of-house, equipment rooms, sterilization rooms, and pharmacy compounding areas. Seamless installation with integral cove base.
GMP-compliant epoxy with chemical-resistant topcoats. Integral cove base and seamless flooring for cleanroom and lab environments.
Cost-effective 100% solids epoxy for stockrooms, receiving docks, and back-of-store areas. Embedded zone markings and traffic lines.
Polyaspartic systems with non-slip aggregate. UV stable for top-deck installations. Waterproofing membranes available for elevated decks.
Concrete surface preparation is the single biggest factor in coating longevity. We never skip it.
On-site walkthrough, moisture-vapour-transmission test, existing coating adhesion pull-test, and cure schedule planning with your operations manager.
Mechanical grinding of concrete to CSP-3 to CSP-4 profile using dustless vacuum-recovery systems. No grinding dust drifts into your operation.
Cracks routed and filled with two-component epoxy mortar. Spalls and chips repaired flush. Moisture barrier installed if needed.
Penetrating primer, base coat with optional aggregate broadcast, topcoat with embedded safety markings. Each coat verified for cure before the next.
Foot traffic typically next day; vehicle / forklift traffic 24-72 hours depending on system. Walkthrough with you before sign-off.
The reasons facility managers move from bare concrete or worn floors to epoxy coatings.
Resists oils, hydraulic fluid, automotive chemicals, and warehouse-floor abrasion that would otherwise stain or pit concrete in months.
Seamless, non-porous surface that mops or scrubs clean in a fraction of the time vs. bare concrete. No concrete dust. No oil staining.
Non-slip aggregate broadcast meets MOL safety standards. Embedded forklift aisles and pedestrian zones support OHSA-compliant traffic flow.
Properly installed and maintained, commercial epoxy floors run 10-15 years between recoats — vs. annual maintenance on bare or worn concrete.
Food-grade urethane cement is CFIA, USDA, and HACCP compliant. ESD systems certified to ANSI/ESD S20.20. Documentation provided for your QA file.
High-gloss topcoats can reflect 200-300% more light than bare concrete — reducing the need for additional lighting and improving visibility.
Questions we hear most often from facility managers and GCs.
Commercial epoxy flooring in the GTA typically costs $4-$12 per square foot installed, depending on system type, surface preparation needed, and topcoat. Standard 100% solids epoxy for warehouse floors runs $4-$7/sq ft. Polyaspartic systems for fast turnaround run $6-$10/sq ft. Urethane cement for food and beverage plants runs $9-$14/sq ft. Final quote after a site walkthrough and moisture/concrete condition assessment.
Three different floor coating chemistries for different commercial uses. 100% solids epoxy is the workhorse for warehouses and general industrial floors — durable, chemical resistant, lower cost. Polyaspartic (also called polyurea) cures in 1-2 hours instead of 24 — used when the facility needs to be back in service the next day. Urethane cement is the thickest, most aggressive system — used in food plants, breweries, dairies, and meat processing where the floor sees thermal shock from hot wash-downs, steam, and aggressive cleaners.
A typical warehouse epoxy installation takes 2-4 days for areas up to 10,000 sq ft. Day 1 is diamond grinding and surface preparation. Day 2 is primer and base coat. Day 3 is topcoat. Day 4 is cure and inspection. Polyaspartic systems can be installed in 1-2 days for facilities that need fast return-to-service. Urethane cement systems take 3-5 days due to thicker build and longer cure times.
Yes — we sequence installations in zones so production stays running. A 50,000 sq ft warehouse can be coated 5,000-10,000 sq ft at a time over multiple weekends, with each zone fully cured and back in service before we move to the next. We coordinate with your operations manager on rack moves, pallet relocation, and traffic patterns. Weekend and overnight scheduling available.
Commercial epoxy flooring is standard for warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, auto dealerships and service bays, food processing and beverage facilities, breweries, commercial kitchens, pharmaceutical and laboratory environments, healthcare and lab back-of-house, retail back-of-house and stockrooms, and parking garage floors. Each facility type has different requirements for chemical resistance, slip resistance, ESD (electrostatic discharge) rating, and FDA/CFIA food-grade compliance.
Yes. For food and beverage facilities we install urethane cement systems with CFIA, USDA, and HACCP-compliant ratings. These systems handle daily caustic and acidic wash-downs, hot water and steam cleaning, thermal cycling, and resist bacterial growth in seams. We provide documentation of product compliance for your QA file. Common applications: dairies, breweries, meat processing, bakeries, pet food, beverage bottling.
Yes. Static-dissipative and conductive epoxy systems are installed in electronics manufacturing, server rooms, and explosive-environment workshops where ESD damage to components or static-sparked fires must be controlled. We install systems rated to ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards with optional copper grounding grid and post-install resistance testing.
Concrete surface preparation is the single biggest factor in coating longevity. We diamond grind the existing concrete to an industry-standard CSP-3 to CSP-4 profile, vacuum-recover the dust, repair cracks and spalls with epoxy mortar, and conduct a moisture-vapour-transmission test before primer goes down. Skipping prep is why most failed epoxy floors fail — we never shortcut it. If your concrete has moisture issues, we install a moisture-vapour barrier coating first.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the existing coating is well-adhered we can scuff-sand and recoat. If the existing coating is peeling, delaminating, or has hot-tire pickup damage, the failed coating must be mechanically stripped back to bare concrete before a new system goes down. We always conduct an adhesion pull-test on the existing coating before quoting a recoat — if it fails the pull-test, we quote full removal.
Yes. Slip-resistant aggregate (aluminum oxide or quartz silica) is broadcast into the wet coating and back-rolled to create a textured anti-slip surface. Standard textures range from light (offices, retail back-of-house) to aggressive (wet processing areas, loading dock ramps, parking garage decks). Texture level is selected based on your facility traffic and wet/dry conditions.
A properly installed and maintained commercial epoxy floor lasts 10-15 years in moderate-traffic industrial environments. Heavy-traffic warehouse floors with forklift traffic typically need a recoat every 7-10 years. Food plant urethane cement floors run 15-20 years. The single biggest factor is whether the original surface prep was done correctly. Routine cleaning with neutral cleaners (not acidic or solvent-based) extends life significantly.
Yes. Forklift aisles, pedestrian walkways, safety zones, hazard markings, and OSHA/MOL-compliant traffic flow markings are installed during the final topcoat. We coordinate marking layouts with your safety officer or warehouse manager before installation. Markings are embedded in the topcoat — not painted on top — so they don't wear off from forklift traffic.
Yes. Zusashi Maintenance is fully WSIB compliant and carries $5 million in commercial general liability insurance. All technicians are trained on diamond grinding equipment, dustless vacuum systems, two-component coating chemistry, and confined-space safety where applicable. We provide certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance certificates for property managers and GCs on request.
Yes. Current Zusashi cleaning clients receive a 10% discount on epoxy floor installations and post-install maintenance programs. Bundle pricing is also available for clients who pair epoxy installation with ongoing floor maintenance, post-construction cleanup, or pressure washing services.
