Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Flooring in Kent, OH
Kent is a city that blends university energy with genuine residential pride. From the University District to South Water Street's eclectic neighborhoods, Kent homeowners and business owners demand quality that holds up to real use. Canton Epoxy serves all of Kent and Portage County with 100% solids epoxy systems that are diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats — delivering a floor that looks great and performs without fail through Northeast Ohio's demanding seasons.
The Cuyahoga River runs through Kent, and with it comes the humidity and ground moisture that makes concrete slabs challenging for inferior epoxy systems. Our pre-installation moisture vapor emission testing is non-negotiable — we measure the slab's moisture output before any product goes down, ensuring that the coating bonds properly and won't delaminate months later. This protocol protects both your investment and our lifetime workmanship warranty, and it's a step that most budget contractors skip entirely.
Whether you're a Kent homeowner, a KSU-area landlord, or a business owner on East Main Street, Canton Epoxy delivers the region's most professional epoxy installation. Portage County projects are scheduled quickly — call 330.330.9900 for your free Kent estimate.

Key Features
Heavy Traffic Rated
Epoxy mortar systems reach 12,000–18,000 PSI compressive strength, handling forklifts, pallet jacks, and continuous heavy equipment without cracking or delaminating.
Anti-Slip Aggregate Options
Broadcast quartz, aluminum oxide, or polymer grit aggregates achieve ASTM D2047-certified slip resistance (≥0.50 wet COF), satisfying OSHA walking-surface standards.
Chemical Resistance
Formulated to withstand industrial solvents, hydraulic fluids, battery acid, caustic cleaners, and food-grade chemicals without blistering, staining, or bond failure.
FDA/USDA Compliant Systems
Our food-service epoxy coatings comply with 21 CFR 175.300, making them approved for commercial kitchens, food processing floors, and HACCP-regulated environments.
OSHA Slip Resistance Certified
Every commercial installation meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 requirements for walking surfaces, with documented COF test results available upon request.
Minimal Downtime Scheduling
We offer nights, weekends, and phased-zone installation to keep your facility operational — polyaspartic topcoats allow foot traffic in as little as 4–8 hours.
Custom Line Marking & Logo Embedding
ANSI A10.2-compliant line striping for safety lanes, rack footprints, and egress paths at $0.50–$3.00/linear ft, plus logo and insignia embedding for showrooms and corporate facilities.
Kent Project Details
How It Works in Kent
Our Installation Process
The same professional process we use on every Portage County project — no shortcuts.
Commercial Site Assessment
We walk the entire facility, document floor conditions, identify high-traffic zones, note chemical exposure areas, and discuss operational constraints — producing a written scope of work and phasing plan.
Surface Profile & Moisture Testing
We perform ICRI CSP testing to determine the required surface profile and conduct ASTM F2170 in-situ relative humidity testing to identify any moisture-vapor emission issues before coating begins.
Surface Preparation & Shot Blasting
Industrial shot blasting equipment opens the concrete profile to CSP 3–4, removing existing coatings, sealers, and surface contaminants while leaving a clean, mechanically profiled substrate for maximum adhesion.
Substrate Repair
Cracks are routed and filled, spalls are patched with rapid-set epoxy mortar, expansion joints are addressed with flexible joint filler, and any structural concerns are resolved before coating proceeds.
System Application
The specified coating system — primer coat, body coat (broadcast quartz, self-leveling, or mortar), and topcoat — is applied in controlled conditions. Each layer is allowed to cure per manufacturer specifications before the next is applied.
Line Marking, Curing & Final Inspection
ANSI A10.2-compliant line marking and any embedded graphics are applied during the topcoat phase. Final cure is confirmed, slip-resistance testing is documented, and a written compliance checklist is delivered with the project closeout.
