Industrial Flooring

Concrete is a structurally sound and cost effective building material. It is however, visually unexciting and subject to damage by many factors including weathering over time. To improve the resilience to Chemicals, Ultra Violet Rays, High Impacts and provide visually attractive floors they are treated with stains, seals, epoxies and Poly Urethanes among others.  Depending on the condition of the concrete floor, there are number of steps that are necessary prior to application of these systems.

1. Concrete Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation includes, removal of old coatings and deteriorated concrete,  repair of damaged areas and creation of surface profile to ensure adhesion of the coating to the substrate and prolong the service life of the coating system, select and implement the proper surface preparation. MAC’s experienced floor mechanics just do that by scarifying, milling, grinding and/or shot blasting.

2. Concrete Floor Repairs & Leveling

MAC has trained floor mechanics to V-cut and repair industrial floors including warehouses, retail superstores, cold storage facilities, freezers, and food processing plants where time and temperature are important factors to consider. Specially designed engineered cements such as ARDEX®, MAPEI® or Polymers manufactured by leading producers such as General Polymers®, Sherwin Williams®, Dur-A-Flex® and many others applied to facilitate the clients requirements

3. Epoxy Floor Coatings, Concrete Sealing & Staining

Epoxy Floor Systems of many kinds have been successfully applied to Government, Commercial and Industrial facilities. MAC’s floor mechanics have been trained by the manufacturers of high performance epoxy floor systems such as General Polymers®

4. Concrete Waterproofing and Concrete Protection

Specifically designed concrete sealer systems penetrate deeply in concrete materials and chemically form a protective crystalline barrier beneath the surface of the existing concrete. MAC’s floor mechanics have been trained by the manufacturers of specialty sealing systems such as Creteseal® and SINAK®.
