Built for the actual environment
Impact, abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and wash-downs all point to different systems. We specify for the real conditions.

Industrial Painting & Coatings in Edmonton
Warehouses, shops, production areas, and back-of-house. These surfaces take impact, chemicals, forklift traffic, and wash-downs, so the coating gets chosen for what the space actually endures rather than for how it looks in a brochure.

Why specification matters here
The substrate decides the coating, not the colour card.
Bare steel, concrete block, and a poured floor all behave completely differently, and each needs its own primer and system. Getting that wrong is why industrial coatings fail early — usually as rust bleeding through, or a floor lifting under traffic.
Steel needs proper protection
Direct-to-metal and rust-inhibitive primers stop corrosion returning. Painting over active rust just hides it for a season.
Brighter space, safer space
Coating walls and ceilings white lifts light levels dramatically in a warehouse, which improves both visibility and safety.
What's included
Industrial surfaces we coat.
Industrial prep is heavier than commercial. Surfaces are dirtier, contamination is more likely, and the coatings need a properly prepared profile to bond to.

- Concrete block and tilt-up wallsBlock filler where needed to bridge the pores, then a durable washable coating over the top.
- Structural steel and rackingRust treated back to sound metal, then rust-inhibitive primer and a direct-to-metal finish.
- Ceilings and deckExposed deck, joists, and services sprayed — usually white, to lift light levels through the whole space.
- Floors and line markingCoated floors plus safety line marking, walkways, and hazard zones where required.
- Degreasing and decontaminationIndustrial surfaces carry oil and process residue that must come off before any coating will bond.
- Scheduled around productionShutdowns, weekends, or zone by zone — whatever keeps your operation running.
How it works
From site assessment to coated facility.
- Site assessmentWe identify substrates, existing coatings, contamination, and the conditions the finish has to survive.
- Specification and written quoteThe system for each surface, the prep required, and the phasing — set out clearly in writing.
- Prep and decontaminationDegreasing, rust removal, and mechanical preparation to give each system the profile it needs.
- Coat by zoneApplied zone by zone around your operation, or during a scheduled shutdown if that suits better.
- Inspection and handoverWalkthrough with your site contact, plus the product documentation for your maintenance records.

What industrial coating costs.
Quoted per project. Area matters, but access, height, substrate condition, and the degree of decontamination needed usually drive the number more than square footage alone.
Access and working heightHigh bay work needs lifts and more setup, and that applies across the whole area.
Substrate conditionActive rust, contamination, or a failing previous coating all add significant preparation.
System specificationEpoxy and specialist protective systems cost considerably more per square foot than standard acrylics.
Operational constraintsWorking around live production costs more than a clear shutdown window, but it keeps you running.

Yes. Most industrial work runs either zone by zone around live operations or during a scheduled shutdown. Tell us which areas can be released and when, and we will build the phasing around that. Working around production costs more than a clear shutdown, but it is usually far cheaper than stopping.
Can you coat over existing rust?
Not directly. Rust has to be mechanically removed back to sound metal, then treated with a rust-inhibitive primer before the finish coat. Painting over active corrosion hides it for a season while it continues to spread underneath — you end up paying for the same steel twice.
Do you do floor line marking?
Yes — walkways, hazard zones, racking aisles, and safety markings, applied as part of a floor coating system or on their own over existing floors. Marking a floor at the same time as coating it is far more economical than treating them as two separate projects.
Will painting the ceiling white really help?
Noticeably, yes. Coating an exposed deck and the walls in white reflects a great deal more of your existing light back down into the space. It is one of the most cost-effective improvements available in an older warehouse — better visibility and a safer working environment without touching the light fittings.
What about concrete block walls?
Block is porous and drinks coating, so it needs a block filler first to bridge the pores. Skipping that step means a patchy finish that cannot be washed properly. With filler and a durable topcoat, block walls become smooth, bright, and genuinely cleanable.
Do you provide documentation for our records?
Yes. You get the written specification up front and the product documentation on completion for your maintenance records, along with current insurance and WCB certificates. If your site has its own contractor orientation or safety requirements, tell us at the assessment and we will comply with them.
