Frequently asked questions
At ALSU Epoxy Flooring, we believe in transparency and providing our clients with all the information they need. Below, you will find answers to the most common questions about our industrial and commercial epoxy flooring and concrete restoration services in Toronto, Ontario.
What are some common questions industrial and commercial clients ask?
🔹 How long does epoxy flooring last?
With proper surface preparation and professional installation, epoxy flooring can last 10–20 years depending on traffic and usage.
🔹 How long does installation take?
Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on size, condition of the concrete, and system requirements. Larger commercial projects may take longer.
🔹 Do you prepare the surface before applying epoxy?
Yes — surface preparation is the most important step. We use diamond grinding, crack repair, and moisture verification to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance.
🔹 Can epoxy be applied over damaged or cracked concrete?
Yes, but it must be properly repaired first. We fix cracks, joints, and surface issues before applying any coating to prevent future failure.
🔹 Will my operations be affected during installation?
We work with clients to minimize downtime. Projects can often be scheduled in phases or during off-hours when required.
🔹 Is epoxy flooring slippery?
While smooth epoxy can be slippery when wet, we offer anti-slip additives and textured finishes suitable for industrial and commercial environments to enhance safety.
What concerns do clients have, and how do we address them?
🔹 “Will the epoxy peel or fail after a short time?”
Our Approach: Most failures happen due to poor preparation. We prevent this by using diamond grinding, crack repair, and moisture verification before any coating is applied. This ensures strong adhesion and long-term performance.
🔹 “Will this disrupt our operations?”
Our Approach: We plan projects carefully to minimize downtime, including phased work or off-hours scheduling when needed. Our goal is to keep your business running smoothly.
🔹 “Is my concrete in good enough condition?”
Our Approach: We assess the surface and perform repairs, leveling, and joint treatment before installation. This creates a solid base for a durable system.
🔹 “Is epoxy flooring slippery or unsafe?”
Our Approach: We offer anti-slip systems and textures based on the environment (warehouse, garage, etc.). Safety is always part of the system design.
🔹 “Will it handle heavy traffic and real use?”
Our Approach: We install industrial-grade systems designed to withstand heavy traffic, chemical exposure, and daily operational demands in commercial and industrial settings.
What makes ALSU Epoxy Flooring different?
At ALSU Epoxy Flooring, the difference comes down to one thing: We focus on doing the job right from the start — not cutting corners.
🔹 Preparation-First Approach
Most epoxy failures happen due to poor preparation. We prioritize diamond grinding, crack repair, and moisture verification to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance.
🔹 System-Based Installation (Not One-Size-Fits-All)
We don’t apply the same coating everywhere. Each project is evaluated to select the right system, thickness, and finish based on traffic, usage, and environment.
🔹 Built for Real-World Performance
Our floors are designed for warehouses, garages, and commercial environments — not just for appearance. They are built to handle heavy traffic, chemicals, and daily use.
🔹 Clean, Controlled Work Process
We use professional grinding equipment with dust-controlled vacuum systems to keep job sites clean, safe, and efficient.
🔹 Long-Term Results, Not Short-Term Fixes
Our focus is on durability and longevity. We install systems that provide lasting performance and value, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or reapplication.
What to know after project completion?
🔹 Curing Time & Usage
After installation, the floor needs time to fully cure:
- Light foot traffic: 24 hours
- Light equipment: 48–72 hours
- Heavy traffic / forklifts: 3–5 days
Following these timelines is critical to ensure maximum durability.
🔹 Cleaning & Maintenance
Epoxy floors are low maintenance, but proper care extends their life:
- Regular sweeping to remove dust and debris
- Occasional mopping with mild, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid harsh chemicals unless the system is designed for it
- Clean spills promptly to maintain appearance and safety
🔹 Preventing Damage
To keep the floor in top condition:
- Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects
- Use protective pads under equipment if needed
- Monitor high-traffic areas over time
🔹 Warranty & Performance
We stand behind the quality of our work:
- Systems are installed using professional preparation and application methods
- Performance depends on proper use and maintenance
- Warranty details are provided upon project completion.
