Where we work, and what the concrete does there
This is not a list of places we will drive to. A Wasaga Beach slab on sand with a high water table and a Clearview implement shed poured in 1974 are not the same job, and quoting them the same way is how coatings fail.
Each page below sets out what we actually find in that community — the age and construction of the slabs, how much salt they see, and which of them we expect the moisture test to catch.
-
Collingwood
There are two Collingwoods, as far as a slab is concerned. Floors poured in the last decade, and floors poured before anybody thought to put a barrier underneath them.
-
The Blue Mountains
A chalet garage takes more abuse in one ski season than a family garage takes in five. And the only weeks anybody can work in it are the weeks nobody is renting it.
-
Wasaga Beach
This is the one town where we half expect the moisture test to fail before we run it. Sand, a high table, and a great many slabs poured for buildings that started life as cottages.
-
Thornbury
Older and smaller than Collingwood, with a strong showing of heated detached workshops — which makes this the one town where we will talk you out of polyaspartic.
-
Stayner
The largest unheated floors we work on, out on the Clearview concessions, where cold-cure capability stops being a convenience and becomes the whole job.
-
Creemore & Clearview
Older outbuildings, slabs poured by whoever was available, and no mains water on the property. That last one sounds like nothing and changes how we prepare a floor.
-
Meaford
The western edge of where we work. Shoreline property with the moisture questions that come with it, and the apple country equipment floors running east from here to Thornbury.
-
Craigleith
Small chalet bays on the shoreline strip, mostly unheated, taking more road salt per square foot than any floor we work on.
-
Nottawa
Farm shops and rural garages a few kilometres south of Collingwood, two or three times the size of a town bay, and half of them poured before the vapour barrier was standard.
-
Duntroon
Up on the escarpment brow, where the drives are steep and salted hard, the wind drives wet onto the building, and the freeze-thaw count runs ahead of the town below.
-
Singhampton
High open country at the top of the escarpment. The coldest slabs and the shortest working season in our area, which narrows the product list hard.
Not sure if you're in the area?
Call and ask. If you are outside what Collingwood Epoxy covers we will say so rather than book you in and cancel — and we can usually point you at someone local who does cover it.
