Laboratory Epoxy Flooring in Toronto
Epoxy is a popular option for flooring in a laboratory.
In a lab, you usually need the floor to be:
- Waterproof
- Seamless
- Fireproof
- Heat resistant
Epoxy has a self-leveling finish that is durable and chemically resistant. Epoxy floors are six times stronger than concrete floors. Apply an epoxy coating over concrete floors for extra strength.
There are eco-friendly epoxy options, and the old flooring usually doesn’t need to be removed before the process.
These floors last a long time with proper maintenance, and if an issue occurs, most of the time, it can be remedied by re-coating the area.
Applying epoxy is a process and takes several coats to complete the job. It is a two-part floor coating, making it a mix, not a single component. There are three epoxy coatings types: 100% solid epoxy, water-based epoxy, and solvent-based epoxy.

While applying epoxy is a simple process, it is best to hire professionals to ensure a top-notch finish.
DIY epoxy often creates problems leading to a more costly process. Likewise, combining the mixture is a precise process that must be accurate. Professional installers know the right combination to ensure the right amount of hardeners for the resin.
Top Reasons to Choose Epoxy
If damage occurs, epoxy can be applied over epoxy as a fix. Yet, professionally applied epoxy can last more than 15 years with proper maintenance and care! Now that would surely make this flooring worth its investment.
Epoxy applied on concrete floors cures instantly. After 6 – 12 hours, the coating will be 100% dry. Stains are not able to soak into epoxy floors. Epoxy is resistant to abrasive materials, UV rays, and chemicals. Epoxy seals concrete, therefore, making it stain-resistant.
There are many reasons to use epoxy.
- Easy to clean
- Super affordable to maintain
- Durable
- Personalizable
- Aesthetically appealing
- Stain-resistant
- Chemical-resistant
Epoxy Floor Process
Floor grinding and surface preparation
It is essential to clean and prepare the floor before applying the coating system. An even base ensures optimal coverage.
Crack-filling and pit repair
To have a seamless finish, fill all cracks and holes. Fast-curing cement products will level out the floor. The goal is a smooth finish; bumps are the enemy. We vacuum up all debris and dust that occurs during the process.
Coloured epoxy primer coat
Seal the floor with a primer for a durable bond. We mix pigments into a 2-part polyurethane epoxy system.
Decorative flakes
If desired, we cast chips into the base coat and make sure to spread the flakes evenly throughout the mixture
Metallica finish:
We pour the epoxy design onto the floor at an even 40 mils thick. We cast designs into this pigmented coat.
Industrial sand epoxy
Choose the grit of sand we cast into the primer coat; we back-roll it for even distribution.
Clear polyaspartic topcoat
We apply the final clear coat with rollers and tape. The floor should have at least 24 hours to cure before being exposed to foot traffic. Let COAT Systems give you specific guidelines to follow.
