When you get cus­tom indus­tri­al floor­ing, you get floor­ing that’s made to fit its envi­ron­ment. Every floor that Kaloutas’s indus­tri­al floor­ing divi­sion installs is a cus­tom floor, offer­ing a wide vari­ety of dec­o­ra­tive options, sur­face tex­tures, and designs. Using a vari­ety of mate­ri­als we can cre­ate the com­mer­cial floor­ing sys­tem to meet your needs.

Mois­ture is the num­ber one cause of floor­ing fail­ure. A sophis­ti­cat­ed mois­ture mit­i­ga­tion sys­tem is nec­es­sary to ensure that your indus­tri­al floor­ing is undam­aged by the mois­ture lev­el in your con­crete floor. The prop­er sys­tem can pre­vent you from spend­ing big mon­ey on con­crete floor repairs.

Old­er sol­vents and adhe­sives were great for pro­tect­ing against mois­ture, but they were high in dan­ger­ous VOC’s. Our new mois­ture mit­i­ga­tion sys­tems are VOC-free, and can pro­tect many types of floors, includ­ing tile and carpet.

Con­crete can be an ide­al breed­ing ground for bac­te­ria, spores, microbes, molds, and fun­gi. This caus­es a seri­ous hygien­ic threat to food, bev­er­age, and med­ical oper­a­tions. Only a spe­cif­ic antimi­cro­bial floor­ing sys­tem can pre­vent the source of these issues.

If you’re work­ing with com­bustible mate­r­i­al, volatile chem­i­cals, or sen­si­tive elec­tron­ic, elec­tro­sta­t­ic dis­charge floor­ing sys­tems are nec­es­sary to ensure the safe­ty of both per­son­nel and mate­ri­als. Cre­at­ing a sta­ble envi­ron­ment for these mate­ri­als requires a pro­fes­sion­al ESD floor­ing plan and installation.

A Ure­thane indus­tri­al floor­ing solu­tion is the one-stop, per­ma­nent solu­tion for the main caus­es of con­crete break­down. Ure­thane floor­ings require min­i­mal instal­la­tion labor, cures quick­ly, con­tains zero VOCs, absorbs mois­ture, and holds up to 100% humid­i­ty. These floors can even be cus­tomized with a seam­less epoxy coat for even high­er function.

If you need to make repairs to your con­crete floor­ing, but don’t want to replace your con­crete slabs, epoxy mor­tar may be the com­mer­cial floor­ing solu­tion you’ve been look­ing for. Epoxy mor­tar can have two to three times the com­pres­sion strength of typ­i­cal com­mer­cial con­crete. Epoxy coat­ings are applied 20 to 40mm thick and have a high chem­i­cal resis­tance. Epoxy floor­ing sys­tems add more strength and hide imper­fec­tions in your con­crete flooring.
