Polyaspartic floor coating is a fast-curing resin that goes down in far colder conditions than epoxy and does not yellow in sunlight. In a city with a long deep winter, that is not a luxury feature.
We use it as the top coat on nearly every floor we install, and as the full system where a job has to be finished quickly or installed cold.

Standard epoxy wants warmth. Below roughly ten degrees it thickens, cures slowly and can fail to cure properly at all.
An unheated Sudbury garage is below that from October through April. Six months of the year, straight epoxy is the wrong material.
Polyaspartic keeps building strength where epoxy stalls, which is why we default to it here rather than treating it as an upgrade.
It is also UV stable. A clear epoxy top coat exposed to sun goes amber over time. Polyaspartic does not, which matters on porches, in garages with big windows and on any floor near a south-facing door.
Polyaspartic cures in hours rather than days. Two coats can often go down in one day.
For a household that means a garage back in service the next day instead of at the end of the week.
For a business it means the difference between a weekend shutdown and losing a week of trading. Most of our commercial work is scheduled around exactly this.
Speed has a cost. The material has a short working window, so it goes down in sections with a crew that knows the timing. It is not a product to learn on.
Most residential floors get a hybrid: an epoxy base coat for thickness and bond, flake broadcast into it, then polyaspartic clear on top. It is the best value per dollar.
A full polyaspartic system, base and top, goes in where the slab is cold, where the turnaround has to be fast, or where the floor is outdoors.
The right answer depends on the room, the temperature and the deadline. We will tell you which one your floor needs and why, including when the cheaper option is the correct one.
Garages across Greater Sudbury, as the top coat on flake systems.
Porches, patios and enclosed sunrooms, where UV stability and grip both matter.
Commercial floors that cannot close for long: service bays, retail units, kitchens and clinics.
Winter installs generally, where the calendar rules out anything else.
Polyaspartic costs more per square foot than epoxy. Canadian pricing for professional polyaspartic work generally runs above the epoxy band, and a hybrid system sits between the two.
Against that, it goes down in weather epoxy cannot, it returns the space to use faster, and it holds its colour.
For most Sudbury garages the hybrid is the sensible balance. We will price both and let you choose with the numbers in front of you.
We will measure the floor, take slab temperature and moisture readings, and give you a fixed written price.

Flake epoxy flooring is the system most Sudbury garages and basements end up with. An epoxy base coat is rolled onto ground concrete, coloured vinyl chips are broadcast into it while it is wet, and a clear top coat locks everything down.

A garage floor coating seals your slab so the salt, brine and sand that come off a Sudbury vehicle never reach the concrete. That is the whole point of it in this city.

Coating a basement slab takes a cold, dusty floor and makes it part of the house. The concrete gets sealed, the grey powder stops, and the surface will carry furniture, gym equipment and daily traffic.

Concrete floor coating covers everything a bare slab can become: garage, basement, workshop, porch, mechanical room, shop floor or storage bay. Same principle every time, different system depending on what the floor has to survive.

Commercial epoxy flooring has to take traffic, cleaning and inspection, and it has to go in without closing a business for a week.

Sudbury runs on heavy industry, and heavy industry runs on concrete that takes a beating. Forklifts, pallet jacks, steel stock, hydraulic oil and wash-down all land on the same floor.

An outdoor concrete coating seals a porch, patio, walkway or enclosed sunroom against the weather and gives it grip, colour and a finished edge.

If your garage floor is peeling, bubbling, lifting at the tire tracks or coming away in sheets, it can almost always be fixed. It usually cannot be fixed by coating over it.

Metallic epoxy flooring is a poured decorative finish. Metallic pigments are moved through a clear resin while it is wet, producing depth, movement and a marbled effect that no two floors repeat.
