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.
