Epoxy & Urethane Resin Systems

Resinous flooring systems are ideal for resurfacing concrete floors by applying a base of resinous material over the concrete in order to create a smooth, non-porous surface. Resinous flooring systems can be used for commercial, industrial and even residential purposes. They are safe, durable and can be customized into a wide range of colors, textures and patterns, making them perfect for any situation. At Subfloor Specialties, we can provide you with the right epoxy or urethane resin systems for your project.

Benefits of Resinous Flooring

Chemical Resistant: Protects the concrete from acids, solvents, alkalis and other corrosive chemicals.

Highly Durable: Wear-resistant even under heavy traffic and harsh conditions.

Slip Resistant: Perfect for healthcare, retail and service industries.

Seamless: A smooth surface without any seams, ridges or joints. It can also be applied in tight spaces where other types of flooring cannot.

Low-maintenance: The non-porous material allows for easy cleanup of stains and spills.

Polished Concrete

Concrete has long been considered a subfloor but recent trends have put it back on top. Concrete polishing is a process that can transform opaque concrete into a glossy and attractive flooring material. Whether it is new concrete or old, worn-out slabs, concrete polishing has the ability to create a high-gloss finish that has superior durability compared to other flooring materials and is easy to maintain without the need for waxing or additional coatings. Prior to polishing, colors and aggregates can be embedded into the concrete to create dynamic patterns. At Subfloor Specialties, our experts can create smooth, high-luster floors for retail establishments, commercial warehouses, office facilities, residencies and more.

Benefits of Polished Concrete

Higher durability than other flooring materials for a longer service life.

High impact and peeling resistance.

Easy cleaning and no need for waxing or additional coatings.

Cost saving due to its high resistance to wear and minimal maintenance.

High light reflectivity for light distribution in closed areas.

Concrete Resurfacing

Most people think that when old concrete is worn out it must be removed and replaced, but tearing out and pouring in new concrete is expensive. That is where concrete resurfacing comes in. Concrete resurfacing is a cost-effective way to breathe new life into aging concrete. Concrete resurfacing consists of various processes through which concrete is cleaned, repaired and overlaid with a new surface. The cost of resurfacing is lower than replacement and advanced sealers ensure that the restored surfaces last just as long as a new pour. Concrete resurfacing also allows you to create new designs and styles by adding a color sealer, stamping, staining, incorporating decorative saw cuts, or shot-blasting for texture. At Subfloor Specialties, our experts can advise you on the best way to resurface concrete and provide you with the necessary products and systems.

What is Concrete Resurfacing Good For?

Repairing cracks and holes in concrete.

Correcting discoloration.

Easy cleaning and no need for waxing or additional coatings.

Updating finishes for a contemporary, aesthetically pleasing look.

Sealing concrete for protection against the elements.

Moisture Emission Control

Moisture and vapor emissions are rarely thought of when installing new floors but the reality is that overlooking these issues can lead to serious complications. If a project is rushed, the concrete subfloor might not have enough time to fully dry and will result in the buildup of moisture. Many floor coverings and installation materials are sensitive to moisture which can lead to costly flooring failures.

Moisture can result in the swelling or blistering of floor coverings and cause them to lose their integrity. Adhesives used in the installation of flooring are susceptible to moisture as well and can dissolve within months or years, causing floor coverings to become loose. Prolonged exposure to moisture can also foster mold growth under the flooring material, this can become a health hazard for the occupants of the building as well as cause discoloration. At Subfloor Specialties, we have the knowledge and experience to test flooring for moisture emissions and install necessary moisture control and vapor reduction systems.

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is the first and one of the most critical steps when installing new flooring. Skipping this process or not performing it properly can lead to many problems such as uneven floors, bubbling and peeling. Surface preparation is the demolition, removal and cleaning of existing flooring and the bonding between the subfloor and flooring in order to leave the surface ready for new floor installation. This includes the removal of resinous coatings, epoxy mortar, glues, tile and even carpet. Surface preparation ensures proper bonding of the new flooring to extend its strength and durability, as well as create a flat and even surface for installation. At Subfloor Specialties, we have the necessary equipment and experience to get your subfloor ready for installation.

Surface Preparation Techniques

Shot blasting for the mechanical removal of adhesive residue, epoxy coatings, underlayment compounds, and rust on metal.

Grinding for the removal of coatings and adhesives, and flattening of concrete slabs. We have grinders for jobs from 100 to 100,00+ square feet.

Floor demolition.
