Commercial and industrial flooring covers epoxy, polyaspartic, and polyurethane systems built for spaces that take a beating: warehouses, manufacturing floors, auto shops, food processing plants, loading docks, and retail or office units with heavy foot traffic. Unlike a garage floor coating, these jobs usually deal with larger square footage, tighter shutdown windows, and floors that have to handle forklifts, chemical spills, thermal shock, or constant washdown. The right system depends on what's rolling or spilling on the floor every day, not just what looks good when it's fresh.
Markham has a mix of light industrial parks, distribution facilities, and commercial plazas, so the 8 contractors listed here vary in what they're actually set up to handle. Some specialize in fast-turnaround polyaspartic coatings for retail and office floors that need to reopen in a day or two. Others focus on heavy-duty broadcast or trowel-down epoxy systems built for forklift traffic and chemical exposure in warehouses and plants.
When comparing bids, look past the price per square foot. Ask about surface prep (mechanical grinding or shot-blasting versus just an acid etch), moisture testing on concrete slabs, coating thickness in mils, and whether the crew has done a facility your size before. Warranty terms and whether they can work around your production schedule matter as much as the coating itself.
