Urethane cement floors we put down

  • Self-leveling slurry floor

    A pourable urethane cement that spreads into a smooth, seamless floor. It's a good fit for kitchens and processing rooms that see spills and hot washdowns.

  • Textured and heavier-build floors

    Aggregate broadcast into the wet coat, or a thicker troweled layer, gives grip on wet floors and stands up better where carts, pallets and dropped tools hit hard.

Is urethane cement flooring right for my kitchen or plant?

Urethane cement flooring is a seamless floor laid over concrete for hard working rooms in Lafayette, IN, like commercial kitchens, food plants and shops, where hot washdowns, sudden temperature swings, impact and chemical spills wear out lighter coatings.

Most calls start with a floor that's peeling, pitting or soaking up grease, usually because what's on it was never made for heat and harsh cleaners, and the real answer often sits in the slab underneath. The price turns on the floor's size, how much damage and old coating has to come off, how thick and textured the system needs to be and whether it needs a topcoat, while the schedule turns on the slab's moisture, any permit review and how long you can close the room, so the estimate is where you get your own figure. Before we start, we find out which office handles your address and check with them about your job.

Slab checks, prep and urethane cement floors

I decide what a floor needs from the slab and how you use the room, and when a space doesn't see heat or harsh spills, polished concrete flooring or stained concrete flooring may suit it better.

  • Look hard at the slab

    I check the concrete for moisture, cracks, old coatings and oil, because a floor only holds as well as the slab under it.

  • Ask about your lighting

    Some of these floors yellow under strong light, so we ask how the room is lit before we decide on a topcoat.

  • Grind the surface open

    We grind off old coatings, grease and weak concrete so the new floor bonds to sound slab instead of whatever was sitting on top.

  • Our installers lay it

    We lay the system in sections, then curve it up the walls as a cove base so washdown water can't get under the edge.

Why owners call Sterling Lafayette Epoxy Floors

I came to this from auto detailing, wanting to know why so many garage floors peeled. That's still how I work, so I look hard at the slab first, and I'd rather tell you to wait than lay a floor I don't believe in.

Urethane cement flooring questions

How much does urethane cement flooring cost in Lafayette, IN?

There's no set price, because what the slab needs before the floor goes on drives most of the cost. Moisture problems, old coatings to grind off and cracks to fill add work, and a thick textured floor with a cove base and topcoat costs more than a thin smooth one. Call (765) 250-3629 or email hello@lafayetteepoxyandconcreteflooring.com, and I'll come see the concrete and give you your own figure.

How long does urethane cement flooring take to cure before we can use the space?

For one maker's product at 70°F, foot traffic can start after 4 to 12 hours, wheeled traffic after 24 hours, and the floor is fully cured at 72 hours. A colder slab slows the foot traffic time and each product has its own numbers, so we plan your shutdown around the system we choose.

Will a urethane cement floor turn yellow under shop lights or sunlight?

It can, since one maker says sunlight and metal halide lights will turn its urethane slurry yellow, though the floor works just as well. A topcoat over the slurry keeps the color from changing, so it's worth adding in a sunny or brightly lit room.

How do I know if my concrete slab is ready for urethane cement flooring?

We test it, because moisture in a slab can make a new floor peel, blister, stain, sweat or pull apart no matter how well it's laid. One maker also wants new concrete at least 14 days old and recommends a working vapor barrier under any slab poured on the ground to keep moisture from rising into it, so tell me the slab's age when you call.

Does a new restaurant in Tippecanoe County need its floor approved before building?

Yes, plans for a new food establishment in Tippecanoe County are approved before the building permit is issued, and the plan packet asks for the finish of each room, floors included. If the floor changes after that, the change has to be approved by the Tippecanoe County Health Department, the building code official or both, so it pays to settle on the floor system before you submit.

Can I install urethane cement flooring myself?

It's not a do-it-yourself floor, since one maker labels its urethane cement for professional use only and warns it irritates skin and eyes and is harmful to breathe. That maker also tells users to read its data sheets, install guidelines, warranty disclaimers and Safety Data Sheets first, so ask any installer, us included, which product they'll use and for those sheets.

Urethane cement flooring jobs in Lafayette

In Lafayette, the City Engineer's Office issues building permits, and the city requires one for any alterations, repairs or changes to an existing building, so a new floor in a kitchen or plant is something we check on before we start. The city only issues permits for properties inside city limits, and you can confirm yours on the city's Permits & Licensing page. On a commercial job, the application lists the contractors and has to be signed by the property owner or come with the owner's authorization form, so we'll need you for that part. We find out which office handles your address, and if a permit is needed, we take care of the paperwork with you.

Around Lafayette, most calls for this floor come from restaurant kitchens, food plants and shops with older slabs that have worn through a coating or two, and we see the same mix on jobs in West Lafayette and Frankfort. Older slabs often hold oil and old coating deep in the surface, so we plan for extra grinding on them.
