Industrial Coatings in Peterborough, Ontario
Floor Coatings For Plants, Shops, And Warehouses
Industrial floors take the hardest use of any concrete in the city. Forklifts turn on the same spots all day, pallets drag, parts drop, and oils, coolants, and cleaning chemicals end up on the slab. Bare concrete dusts, stains, and breaks down at the joints under that kind of work.
Peterborough Epoxy Flooring installs industrial coatings for manufacturing plants, machine shops, warehouses, hangars, and maintenance bays across Peterborough. We use high-build epoxy and polyaspartic systems made for heavy traffic, and every floor starts with diamond grinding so the coating bonds to the concrete.
What Industrial Coating Systems Do We Install?
Most industrial floors get a high-build epoxy system. It goes on thicker than a garage coating, often in two or three coats, so it can stand up to forklifts, carts, and dropped parts. Where the floor sees harsh chemicals or hot wash-downs, we recommend a chemical-resistant epoxy or a polyaspartic topcoat that handles heat and solvents better.
We can add anti-slip aggregate in wet areas, safety yellow for walkways and machine borders, and line marking for aisles and loading zones. The right build depends on what your floor does every day, so we walk the space before we recommend anything.
Why Do Industrial Floors Need A Coating?
Concrete is porous, and in a plant or shop that matters. Oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant soak in and leave the floor stained and slick. Steel wheels and forklift tires grind the surface into dust that gets into products, machines, and the air your crew breathes. Joints and edges chip, and the damage spreads every time a load rolls over them.
An industrial coating seals the slab and gives it a hard-wearing surface. Spills stay on top where they can be cleaned up. Dust stops. Line marking stays visible. The floor is easier to keep clean for inspections and safer to work on every shift.

Keeping Your Plant Running During The Work
We know a shutdown costs money. Industrial coating projects are planned around your production schedule. We can phase the work area by area, work evenings and weekends, or use fast-curing polyaspartic topcoats that get you back into service sooner. Before the job starts, you get a clear plan showing which areas close and when they reopen.
Peterborough's industry runs from aerospace and defence suppliers near the airport to machine shops, food producers, and nuclear component manufacturers. Each floor has different demands, and we match the coating to the work. Lighter-duty retail and office spaces are covered on our commercial epoxy flooring page.
How Long Does An Industrial Coating Last?
A properly installed high-build industrial floor typically lasts 10 years or more before it needs a fresh topcoat. Forklift lanes and loading areas wear faster than storage zones, so those spots usually get attention first.
Recoating a worn topcoat before it wears through to the concrete is the cheapest way to keep the floor going. We check traffic patterns during our visit and tell you what to expect.
What Does An Industrial Floor Coating Cost?
Most industrial coatings in the Peterborough area cost between $6 and $12 per square foot. The price depends on the size of the floor, how much repair the concrete needs, and how thick the system has to be. Line marking and chemical-resistant topcoats add to the cost.
Large open floors cost less per square foot than small rooms with lots of edges. Estimates are free and done on site.
