Extreme IFC’s Step-by-Step Approach to Perfect Flooring Installation

When it comes to industrial and commercial spaces, the quality of your flooring installation can make or break long-term performance. At Extreme IFC, as
industrial flooring contractors, we don’t just install floors — we craft high-performance, precision-engineered surfaces tailored to your facility’s exact needs. Whether you're operating a high-traffic warehouse or a chemical-resistant production floor, every successful flooring system starts with a disciplined, proven process.
Here’s a closer look at our
step-by-step approach to perfect flooring installation, and why it leads to results that stand the test of time.
Step 1: Site Evaluation & Needs Assessment
Every project begins with a deep understanding of the space. We walk your facility, identify environmental challenges, and assess critical factors like:
- Current floor conditions
- Foot and machinery traffic levels
- Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or temperature swings
- Safety and compliance requirements
Why it matters: No two facilities are the same. A tailored approach ensures the right flooring system is chosen from the start — one that meets operational, safety, and aesthetic goals.
Step 2: Custom System Design
Based on our assessment, we recommend a flooring system suited to your application — whether it's epoxy, urethane, polished concrete, or a hybrid solution. We also factor in finish preferences (matte, gloss, slip-resistant), cure times, and any zoning or color requirements
Pro Tip: Many clients choose color-coded zones for increased workflow efficiency and safety signage built directly into the flooring.
Step 3: Surface Preparation
The foundation of any durable floor is expert surface prep. This is where shortcuts can lead to early system failure — but not with us.
We use industrial-grade equipment to perform:
- Diamond grinding
- Shot blasting
- Crack filling and patching
- Moisture testing
Did You Know? Over 80% of coating failures are due to improper surface prep. Our methods create the ideal surface profile for strong chemical and mechanical adhesion.
Step 4: Installation by Certified Pros
Our installation crews are highly-trained and detail-oriented. Each step is executed with precision, from priming and mixing to multi-layer coating application.
We follow manufacturer-recommended cure schedules and environmental controls (like humidity and temperature monitoring) to ensure optimal bonding and finish quality.
Fun Fact: Our fast-curing resin systems can allow for 24-hour turnaround in some facilities, minimizing downtime without sacrificing performance.
Step 5: Final Inspection & Walkthrough
Once the flooring system is installed, we conduct a thorough quality inspection and walk the site with you. We check for:
- Surface uniformity
- Adhesion and cure quality
- Proper traction and safety features
- Any punch list items or custom requirements
You’ll receive a care guide tailored to your floor, plus tips on extending lifespan through routine cleaning and preventative maintenance.
Step 6: Ongoing Support & Warranty
Our job doesn’t end after installation. We offer:
- Warranties based on system type
- Scheduled maintenance consultations
- Emergency repair services if needed
Peace of Mind: We stand behind our work with dependable service and proven products, so your floor keeps performing year after year.
