MasterTop is BASF's industrial floor system line, ranging from standard epoxy toppings to urethane cement systems for severe environments. Gatineau Concrete installs MasterTop systems matched to facility use, with the BASF-spec install discipline that delivers the system warranty. Every project starts with a free written estimate.
MasterTop covers the BASF industrial floor system range: standard epoxy toppings for moderate-use facilities, high-build epoxy for heavy traffic, urethane cement for severe chemical and thermal exposure, decorative systems for retail and showroom applications. The match between facility use and system spec is what makes the floor perform.
We install MasterTop systems as the BASF-system installer. Prep, primer, body coat, aggregate broadcast, topcoat: each step to BASF spec for the chosen system. The Sika and Ardex parallels apply here too; brand choice often follows project spec rather than installer preference.
We confirm the facility use (manufacturing, distribution, retail, specialty), traffic patterns, chemical exposure, and pick the matched MasterTop system from the BASF range.
Prep slab to MasterTop spec
The slab is diamond-ground to BASF prep profile, contaminants and old coatings removed, cracks repaired with BASF-compatible materials, surface primed with the matched MasterTop primer.
Install MasterTop system
The chosen MasterTop system is installed in sequence: primer, body coat, aggregate broadcast where needed, topcoat at engineered thickness. Each layer cures per spec before next.
Document for BASF warranty
The install is documented with material specs, batch records, and cure schedule for BASF system warranty support, and the floor is handed off ready for service with maintenance protocol documented.
System discipline
BASF Install Discipline Is What System Warranty Buys
MasterTop system warranty applies when installed by a BASF-system installer following BASF spec on prep, primer, application thickness and cure. Substituting components, mixing off-ratio, or skipping prep voids the warranty. We follow the protocol because that is what makes the warranty real.
Coordinate with the rest of BASF services on the project and our broader industrial concrete work where MasterTop fits into the larger facility floor scope.
System range, facility match, warranty and BASF spec compliance.
Based on the facility use: traffic load, chemical exposure, thermal cycling, slip rating, decorative requirements. We assess the actual conditions and recommend the matched system from the BASF range.
Yes, for severe environments (food processing, breweries, freezer floors, chemical-aggressive zones) MasterTop has urethane cement formulations. Standard epoxy MasterTop handles moderate environments.
Yes when installed to BASF spec by a BASF-system installer. System warranty extends beyond product to install integrity, which is the value over generic product warranty.
Yes, by zone-phased install. Each zone is offline during install and cure with operations routed around the work zone. Phasing is built around your operations from quote stage.
Per zone, typically a week including cure before service. Facility-wide projects stretch with phased install. Full schedule in the quote.
Client reviews
What Gatineau Operations Say About MasterTop Floors
MasterTop urethane cement in our chemical exposure zone. Three years of operation, no degradation, BASF warranty in our file. The brand discipline pays off.
Z. H6
Plant Manager, Gatineau
★★★★★
High-build MasterTop across our warehouse zones. Forklift traffic for two years, no spalling at the joints, no surface wear. Right system for the use.
Y. H6
Distribution Director, Ottawa
★★★★★
BASF-spec install with documentation. The system warranty paperwork came at handoff, supporting our facility records and any future audit need.
Q. H6
Facility Director, Barrhaven
★★★★★
They matched the MasterTop system per zone in our multi-use facility instead of one system everywhere. Better outcomes, smaller total cost. Real engineering match.
