Cornerstone Concrete Commercial Division
High-build epoxy systems, polyaspartic coatings, and polished concrete for warehouses, factories, and commercial facilities. We select the system based on your traffic loads, chemical exposure, and operational requirements — not a catalog spec.
What Is It
Industrial floor coating is not a commodity product — the right system depends entirely on your facility's operational conditions. A food processing plant needs something fundamentally different from a distribution center, which needs something different from a pharmaceutical manufacturing space. We start every project with an assessment of your specific requirements before we recommend a system.
Epoxy flooring systems for industrial use are multi-component polymer coatings applied at thicknesses of 10–40 mils or more. The base component bonds to the prepared concrete substrate; the topcoat provides chemical resistance, UV stability, and surface texture. For high-traffic forklift applications, we specify systems that have been tested for abrasion resistance under the actual equipment in your facility.
Polished concrete is an alternative to coating for facilities where you want a low-maintenance, high-durability floor without the coating. We grind and polish the concrete slab progressively through multiple diamond tooling stages, treating with lithium densifier and finishing with a guard or sealer. Polished concrete can achieve gloss levels from satin to near-mirror and is a permanent modification to the slab — not a coating that can peel or delaminate.
Proper surface preparation is the single most important factor in long-term coating performance. We shot-blast or diamond-grind the substrate to remove contamination and open the concrete profile before any coating application. We also test for moisture vapor emissions before sealing — a step that many contractors skip but that accounts for the majority of premature coating failures.
Is This Right For You
Our Process
System Comparison
| System | Best For | Durability | Return to Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% Solids Epoxy | Heavy forklift traffic, chemical exposure | Excellent | 24–48 hrs light traffic |
| Polyaspartic Topcoat | UV-stable topcoat over epoxy base | Excellent UV resistance | Same-day light foot traffic |
| Urethane Cement | Food processing, thermal shock environments | Superior — handles temp extremes | 48–72 hrs |
| Polished Concrete | Low-maintenance industrial floors; showrooms | Permanent — not a coating | Immediate — no coating cure |
| MIL-Grade Epoxy | Aviation, military, heavy industrial | Maximum abrasion resistance | 72 hrs minimum |
