When industrial floors fail, it is almost never the epoxy coating – it is the surface preparation underneath. At GLI Epoxy Flooring, we provide acid etching industrial floors in Toronto as part of a proven surface preparation process designed for industrial environments, commercial flooring projects, and high-traffic areas where failure is not an option.
Acid etching creates a properly prepared concrete surface that allows epoxy resin, floor coatings, and concrete sealers to bond correctly. The result is an extremely durable, seamless surface that handles heavy equipment, harsh chemicals, and constant foot traffic with minimal maintenance requirements.
For large-scale industrial flooring, manufacturing facilities, commercial kitchens, retail spaces, and recreational facilities, acid etching is often a critical first step in long-term flooring performance.

Industrial concrete floors must withstand heavy loads, chemical exposure, abrasion, and daily wear across the entire floor and total square footage. Acid etching is used to open the pores of the concrete and create an acid etched surface that improves adhesion for epoxy flooring solutions and other coatings.
This process is commonly used on:
When properly prepared, concrete floors provide durability, slip resistance, and fewer repairs over time.

Concrete polishing and acid etching serve different purposes depending on the intended use of the floor.
In many industrial applications, acid etching is combined with diamond grinding or shot blasting to ensure the surface is properly prepared for epoxy flooring or other floor coating systems.
Our flooring experts assess several factors including square footage, existing concrete condition, heavy traffic levels, and chemical resistance requirements before recommending the correct approach.

Once acid etching is complete, epoxy flooring systems can be installed with confidence. Epoxy flooring provides:
Our commercial epoxy flooring installers in Toronto design epoxy flooring solutions for industrial spaces that demand performance first and appearance second — without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
An epoxy coating relies on mechanical and chemical bonding. Acid etching creates microscopic texture in the concrete surface, allowing the base coat and epoxy resin to properly penetrate and lock in.
Our skilled team uses:
This ensures the acid etched surface is clean, neutralized, and ready for coatings that provide durability across the entire floor.
For projects requiring additional profiling, we may also recommend concrete floor grinding or shot blasting.
Acid etching is also effective for:
When combined with epoxy flooring or a concrete sealer, basement floors gain chemical resistance, low maintenance performance, and long-term protection against moisture and wear.
