Particle-Verified Clean Room Concrete Flooring for Gatineau
ISO clean rooms live or fail on particle count. The floor is part of that budget. Gatineau Concrete installs seamless epoxy and urethane systems engineered to stay below your facility's particle threshold, with verified low off-gas chemistry and grounding where ESD control matters. Free written estimate, firm schedule.
Why Seamless Concrete Flooring Matters in Clean Rooms
Every ISO clean room operates within a particle budget. The air handling system removes particles, but the floor itself is a source. Standard concrete sheds dust and fibers under foot traffic and equipment movement. A sealed seamless floor system holds those particles in place, keeping them out of the air and off sensitive surfaces.
We specify the epoxy or urethane chemistry matched to your ISO class and process requirements, with low off-gas ratings verified by the material manufacturer. The slab is prepped using contained or HEPA-filtered methods to avoid cross-contamination, and every transition (wall, door, pipe penetration) is sealed with seamless cove so the floor's integrity holds at the room boundary.
How We Build Clean Room Concrete Floors in Gatineau
Determine ISO class and material spec
We identify the target ISO class, the particle contribution budget the floor must meet, any ESD or grounding requirements, and the off-gas chemistry limits for your process. Material selection is locked to the class.
Prepare slab in controlled conditions
The concrete slab is prepped using HEPA-filtered or sealed-prep methods to prevent contamination of adjacent spaces. Surface is ground to the system profile, cracks repaired with clean-room-rated materials, and moisture tested.
Apply seamless epoxy or urethane
The matched seamless system is applied without joints or seams across the room footprint. Topcoat is selected for the particle-shed and off-gas specs your facility requires.
Verify particle and ESD performance
After cure, particle count testing confirms the floor meets your budget. ESD resistance is verified where required. Certification documentation is delivered for your clean room commissioning file.
Critical detail
Room Boundaries: Where Clean Room Floors Fail
A perfect seamless floor across the room footprint can fail at the edges. The wall-floor junction, the door frame, the pipe or cable penetration, the transition to a non-clean adjacent space. These are where particles escape and where the room's ISO rating breaks. We detail every boundary with seamless cove base, sealed penetrations, and integrated door frames so the floor's clean integrity extends to the room perimeter.
ISO class, particle budget, off-gas chemistry and transition details.
Multiple classes from less strict to more strict, with the floor system spec matched to the class. We confirm the target class up front and select the matched system; higher classes require lower-particulate materials and stricter install discipline.
Yes, significantly. A standard floor sheds particles continuously; a properly specified clean-room floor contributes far less. In an ISO-rated environment, every surface counts toward the particle budget.
Floor systems can off-gas trace chemistry that contaminates sensitive processes. We use chemistry rated for low off-gas in clean room applications, verified by the manufacturer for your specific class requirement.
Yes, transitions are where most clean room floors fail. We detail every transition (wall, door, penetration) with seamless cove and sealed integration so the floor's clean integrity holds at the room boundary.
Per room, typically a week or more depending on size and ISO class. The cure window before clean room commissioning adds additional time. The full schedule is in the quote and built around your commissioning calendar.

What Gatineau Operations Say About Their Clean Room Floors
ISO-class verified at commissioning with our floor as part of the particle budget. Hit class, room ran first try. The seamless transition detail at the door made the difference.

★★★★★
Off-gas verification on the floor chemistry for our sensitive process. No detectable contamination at the production analytical limit. Spec matched the process requirement exactly.
Y. J5
Process Engineer, Ottawa
★★★★★
Multiple clean rooms across our facility, each at different ISO classes. They specced per room rather than one system everywhere; class targets hit in every room first commissioning.
Q. J5
Facility Engineer, Barrhaven
★★★★★
Documentation package supported the validation file. Material specs, install method, particle verification all included. Auditor signed off without revisions.
