Commercial-grade polyaspartic and polyurea systems built for warehouses, showrooms, and shops that take real abuse. Installed in Near North by our verified Minneapolis crew with a Limited 15 Year Warranty on every floor.
Near North Minneapolis holds a significant light industrial and auto service corridor along Plymouth Avenue, Broadway, and Penn Avenue, concentrated in the industrial zones that predate the neighborhood's residential development and that have operated continuously through the community's evolution. Welding shops, auto repair and fleet service operations, light manufacturing, and the commercial services that support the dense north Minneapolis residential base all put hard demands on concrete floors that have absorbed Minnesota winters and the road salt from Plymouth Avenue and Broadway for decades. Commercial epoxy floor coating in Near North installs a system built for those conditions, scheduled around each business operation.
Plymouth Avenue and Broadway are major north Minneapolis arterials with consistent deicing treatment and significant truck and commercial vehicle traffic volumes. Commercial and light industrial businesses along these corridors track higher chloride loads into their floor slabs than those in quieter residential-adjacent commercial zones, because the vehicle count and the deicer application rate on these arterials is higher than on the interior streets. A Plymouth Avenue auto service or fleet maintenance operation sees road salt brine from commercial vehicle undercarriages every day through the seven-month deicing season, compounded by petroleum fluids and the abrasion of heavy rolling stock.
Near North's light industrial corridor includes metal fabrication, auto body and fleet service operations, food distribution, and the warehouse and storage functions that serve the north Minneapolis residential and commercial base. Each operation type has a distinct floor demand. Metal fabrication floors face abrasion from steel stock and equipment, chemical exposure from cutting fluids and lubricants, and the impact of dropped materials. Fleet service operations need petroleum and road salt resistance. Food distribution and storage floors need a seamless non-porous surface with the cold-storage compatibility to handle temperature fluctuations in loading areas adjacent to refrigerated zones.
The Mississippi River proximity and the north Minneapolis bottomland areas near the river create elevated ambient moisture in some Near North commercial and industrial properties. Slab-on-grade commercial floors in the riverside industrial corridor can show moisture vapor emission levels that differ from properties further from the river. Pre-installation moisture testing accounts for these localized conditions.
Near North commercial and industrial businesses operate on schedules that include extended weekday hours and often partial weekend operation. Phased installation zones the commercial floor and coats each section while the remainder stays operational. A Plymouth Avenue auto service shop can coat one bay at a time over a series of days, returning each coated bay to service before starting the next. A Near North light industrial operation can stage the installation across weekends, coating one section of the facility floor while operations continue in the remaining area.
After-hours installation is available for Near North commercial floors where any capacity reduction is unacceptable. The commercial polyaspartic topcoat returns each floor zone to heavy rolling load service within 24 hours in most Near North industrial floor categories.
Every commercial floor project in Near North begins with a free on-site assessment. We evaluate the slab condition, identify repair scope from decades of Plymouth Avenue and Broadway salt loading and Minnesota winters, test moisture vapor with attention to river-proximity conditions, and develop the installation phase plan. System specification responds to the specific floor category. Contact us to schedule your Near North commercial floor assessment. No obligation.
