Industrial coatings in Calgary

Protective coatings built for Alberta conditions.

Overview

Coating overview

Durable, high-quality protective coatings designed to enhance appearance, resist corrosion, and extend the life of your surfaces.

We specify and apply coating systems matched to the substrate and the service environment, from single-coat finishes to multi-coat epoxy and polyurethane systems for steel, tanks, equipment and concrete.

Benefits

Why invest in professional coating.

  • Corrosion resistance

    A sealed barrier that keeps moisture, road salt and chemicals away from the substrate.

  • Longer asset life

    Protecting steel and concrete delays costly repairs and replacement.

  • Abrasion & chemical resistance

    Systems chosen for impact, wear and chemical exposure in your environment.

  • Improved appearance

    A uniform, professional finish in the colour and gloss level you choose.

  • Lower maintenance

    Coated surfaces are easier to clean and need less frequent touch-ups.

  • Applied to spec

    Film thickness checked during application to meet manufacturer requirements.

Our process

How a coating project runs.

  1. STEP 01

    Assess

    We inspect the substrate and service conditions and recommend a coating system.

  2. STEP 02

    Prepare

    Sandblasting or mechanical prep to the cleanliness and profile the system requires.

  3. STEP 03

    Prime

    A primer coat applied promptly to a clean surface to lock in adhesion.

  4. STEP 04

    Build & topcoat

    Intermediate and finish coats applied with film thickness checks throughout.

  5. STEP 05

    Cure & inspect

    Final inspection after cure, then the asset is ready to go back into service.

FAQ

Common questions.

Have a question that isn’t covered here? Call us at (403) 464-2465 or send us a message.

What types of coatings do you apply?

We work with industrial epoxies, polyurethanes, zinc-rich primers and enamel systems. The right choice depends on the substrate, the environment and the finish you need, and we will recommend a system with your quote.

Does the surface need to be sandblasted first?

Most high-performance coatings need a clean, profiled surface to bond properly, so sandblasting is usually recommended. For some jobs, mechanical prep or cleaning is enough. We will tell you what your project needs.

How long will the coating last?

A properly specified and applied system can protect steel for many years. Lifespan depends on the coating, the prep and the service conditions, and we will give you realistic expectations up front.

Can you coat on site?

Many jobs can be done on site at your facility. Tell us about the size and location of the work when you request a quote and we will plan the best approach.

When can the coated item go back into service?

Cure times vary by product and temperature. Some systems are ready for light use within a day, others need longer. We will plan the schedule around your operations.
