Industrial epoxy flooring in Vellore Village

Industrial work near Highway 400 is mostly small units in multi-unit buildings, bought or leased as an empty shell. The slab is sound and unmarked, the racking has not arrived, and nobody has yet driven anything across it. That is an unusually good starting point, and it comes with one specific risk: specifying the floor for the building instead of for the business moving in.

A unit is a box until an operation moves into it. What that operation does is what the floor should be specified against.

Unit sequence

What our industrial epoxy flooring process looks like in Vellore Village

An empty unit removes most of the usual obstacles, which leaves the one question that actually decides the build: how hard will this floor be worked once the business is in it.

  1. Establish the intended operation

    Racking layout, forklift or pallet truck use, and where the traffic will run. None of that is visible in an empty unit and all of it decides the specification.

  2. Check the slab and the joints

    Newer unit slabs are usually sound, and they still have construction joints and sometimes a curing compound. Both are dealt with as preparation rather than discovered afterwards.

  3. Specify for the work, not the label

    The word industrial spans a wide range of builds. A storage unit and a production floor sit at different ends of it, and the quote explains which end yours is at and why.

  4. Install before the racking

    Coating an empty unit is far quicker than coating around installed racking. Where the sequence allows it, the floor goes in first and the fit-out follows.

The most expensive mistake in a new unit is specifying the whole floor to the standard of its busiest aisle. Mapping where the traffic will actually run lets the build be heavier where it matters and lighter where it does not, which on a full unit is a significant difference.

Why us

Why choose us for industrial epoxy flooring in Vellore Village

An empty unit is the easiest floor to install and the easiest one to specify badly.

  • Specify to the business

    The building tells you nothing

    Two identical units can end up carrying a quiet storage operation and a busy assembly line. The slab, the ceiling and the door are the same in both. Only the intended use tells you what the floor has to survive, so that is what the build is priced against.

  • Before the racking

    Empty units are quick units

    Coating an open floor is uninterrupted work. Once racking is bolted down it becomes a cut-in job around every upright, which is slow and leaves joints at the feet. Where possession timing allows, the floor before the fit-out is both cheaper and better.

  • Zone the build

    Not every square foot works equally

    Traffic concentrates in aisles, at the door and around the loading area. Building the floor heavier there and lighter in the static zones costs less than treating the whole unit as its busiest part, and it lasts longer than treating it as its quietest.

Questions we actually get

Vellore Village unit questions.

We take possession next month. When should the floor be coated?
Before the racking and equipment go in, if the schedule allows. An empty unit is quicker to coat, cheaper because there is no cut-in work, and produces a continuous floor with no joints around upright feet. It is one of the few cases where moving faster also costs less.
The slab is brand new and looks perfect. Is preparation still needed?
Yes. New unit slabs are usually power-floated smooth and may carry a curing compound, which leaves nothing for a coating to bond to. The absence of damage removes repair work, not preparation. Grinding is what creates the bond, and it is not optional on a clean floor.
We do not have forklifts yet but we might later.
Worth saying now. Designing the build for traffic you expect within a few years is far cheaper than recoating for it afterwards. If forklifts are a maybe, we can specify the likely aisles to take them and leave the rest lighter, which keeps the option open without paying for it everywhere.
Can you mark out aisles and storage zones?
Yes, and an empty unit is the ideal time. Lines and zones are laid into the build rather than painted over it afterwards, so they wear at the same rate as the floor. Setting them out before racking arrives is also considerably easier than working around it.
What about the construction joints in the slab?
They get treated as part of preparation. Joints that are static are filled and ground flush so they do not telegraph through the finish. Joints designed to move are handled differently, since filling those rigidly just moves the crack somewhere less convenient.
Does the unit need to be heated during installation?
It needs to be above the material's minimum temperature for the whole cure, not just the application. Newer units are usually straightforward to heat, and in colder months it is worth confirming the heating is commissioned before the date is fixed rather than after.

Coat the unit before the racking arrives.
