The key to successful adhesion and long-term durability of any epoxy flooring system is surface preparation. Shot blasting and diamond grinding are the most common methods of floor preparation, and Algoma’s skilled applicators are trained in the safe and effective use of these technologies.
EPOXY FLOORING BENEFITS
CONCRETE SEALERS
Thin or penetrating concrete sealers are used to damp-proof and protect concrete for several years. A variety of penetrating sealers can be used for surface hardening of freshly poured concrete surfaces, damp-proofing concrete, or conditioning concrete surfaces for painting.
As well, concrete decks, floors and parking structures can be waterproof sealed using a variety of liquid-applied products to stop water leakage and/or salt infiltration, each varying depending on the specific application. These concrete waterproofing systems are often elastomeric with crack-bridging capabilities. Some waterproof membranes are more abrasion or chemical-resistant than others.

FEATURED PROJECTS
ST.JOSEPH’S HEALTHCARE HAMILTON
EAST AND WEST FAN ROOMS AND BOILER ROOM
The St. Joseph’s East and West Fan Rooms and Boiler Room projects involved surface preparation and grinding of the damaged concrete floors. This was followed by applying waterproof sealer on the concrete floors: prime coat application, base coat with the addition of aggregate to achieve a non-slip surface and final topcoat application.
