Assessment and Testing

Our team of industrial flooring installers will conduct a 1:1 consultation in which we can obtain information about your project — expectations, timeframe, and other details. Our staff will listen closely, gauge the project based on the specific services we offer, and provide a recommendation to complete the project. If it’s not a good fit for our team, we will recommend another qualified service provider.

Upon accepting a project, our Commercial and Industrial Flooring technicians will conduct proper testing for the facility so that we can understand the space and address any potential issues before they arise. Tests may include moisture testing, curing compound testing, or oil deposit testing.

Removal of previous floor coatings or etc

Certain types of floor coatings are compatible with having a new finish installed on top; however, other types of floor coatings could cause peeling or a weakened surface if not properly removed before installing a new surface. At Toranj Flooring, we know how to ensure your new flooring surface bonds directly with the concrete to provide the safest and strongest binding. Our staff will assess your current floor and remove the previous flooring if necessary.

Preparing and repairing flooring surfaces

Toranj Flooring technicians will prepare the surface for coating/new flooring installations by repairing problems that need to be addressed prior to installing a new surface. An uneven concrete floor can complicate or hinder the final coating process, and irregularities in the surface can also present safety issues. Any obvious spalling or cracks (including regular joints) should be repaired and filled. Our experts can also identify smaller imperfections or hidden weaknesses that might otherwise go unnoticed until after installation.

Because some flooring products bond better when the underlying concrete has a slightly rough texture, your contractor may use a grinder or another tool over the surface of the entire floor.

Floor Cleaning

Once the concrete has been repaired and texturized, it will need a deep cleaning to make sure all oil and residues are removed. We may choose one of several methods, including steam cleaning, acid wash, or pressure washing.

It’s also very important that the surface of the floor be cleared of all dirt, dust and other debris immediately before the floor coating is applied, since these can be trapped under the coating and leave lasting marks in the final product.

Flooring Installation

The installation process looks different depending on the type of coating being applied. Epoxy, for example, involves the application of two very different layers that chemically bond together.

During installation, your flooring technicians will pay special attention to important steps such as environmental control (finding ways to maintain a consistent temperature and/or humidity level, despite changes in the weather).

They will also clearly communicate a list of care recommendations, including how long your particular floor coating will need to cure before it has completely bonded to the concrete. Rolling heavy equipment over your freshly completed floors could damage it.

How much is my project going to cost?

Projects vary in cost based on a customer’s needs and wants, but we always provide a price quote before we do any work. We usually encourage general contractors to evaluate cost based on this question: What will be the cost of not coating this floor? Some subcontractors work off of sq

How long will a floor last?

Nothing lasts forever and nothing is indestructible. A properly selected coating system with proper surface preparation and installation should last for decades, provided it is used within its correctly designed limits.

Does flooring have a warranty?

Yes, our flooring comes with a warranty. Unlike many subcontractors, we actually encourage general contractors to read and understand the “fine print.” We are always happy to point out and discuss warranty limitations with you.

Can a flooring project be completed in a couple of days?

It depends. Some subcontractors will tell general contractors whatever they want to hear just to get the job. Chances are, you’ve experienced this once or twice. Make sure your flooring contractor isn’t overpromising only to underdeliver. You can’t afford to have parts of the job compromised because a subcontractor is trying to hit a deadline they weren’t prepared to meet in the first place (ex. shortening cure times for the materials).

How do I make sure my floor is perfect?

There are no perfect floors. Minor imperfections can be expected for most jobs, but they’re usually so subtle that you wouldn’t even notice them in a photograph. Good flooring contractors should always strive for perfection, but they can’t guarantee it. More importantly, your subcontractor should be upfront in discussing what imperfections you can expect and make sure you are comfortable with them.

Can we touch up damaged spots in the future?

Yes, but most touch-up jobs show and do not hide flaws the same way touching up paint on a wall does.
