Floor Finishes

Concrete curbs and coves are required under CFIA Plant Construction Guidelines. Curbs protect your walls from damage, and coves provide a cleanable floor to wall junction.

Epoxy and polyurethane finishes can be applied to floors, curbs, and coves to provide wear resistance and a non-slip surface.
