Frequently asked questions
With extensive experience in the industry, we have rigorously tested numerous agricultural-grade coatings. Our exclusive choice is AgriCoatings products, specifically designed for farm use, offering the utmost chemical and mechanical resistance. Being manufactured in Canada allows us to maintain competitive pricing for our customers.
Our installation process has been streamlined to minimize downtime on the farm. With most coatings requiring a 2-day installation, we collaborate closely with the farmer throughout the process, aiming to minimize disruption to the farm and expedite a return to normal operations as soon as possible.
Our expertise in repairs is extensive, utilizing fast-cure urethanes, trowel-down mortars, and repair gels to effectively patch and restore all deteriorated or broken concrete on the farm. There's no repair too challenging for us to handle.
Installing feedbunk epoxy on new concrete not only reduces the need for extensive preparation and repair materials but also eliminates disruptions to your herd once operations are underway. It proves to be a proactive measure in maintaining efficiency and minimizing potential issues.
Minimizing downtime between milkings and daily farm operations is crucial. While it's recommended to install coatings during the initial barn construction, we understand the need for unique methods to apply coatings even after the farm is operational. This involves collaborative planning and scheduling with the farm to efficiently execute the work with minimal disruption.
Certainly, we have the capability to repair coatings that have begun to fail. Following a thorough inspection and testing of the failing floor, we can devise a solution to remove and install new coatings that are designed to endure and withstand the test of time.
Depending on the occupancy of your barn, our approach often involves coating approximately 50% of the feedbunk in a single application. This typically requires temporarily blocking off cows from the head lockers. The process entails one day of preparation, one day for coating, and a return to service on the third day, ensuring an efficient timeline.
The majority of our products require a minimum temperature of 10 degrees Celsius with low humidity. Therefore, the period between spring and fall is considered an ideal time of year for completing your coating projects, ensuring optimal conditions for successful application.
Utilizing our fleet of large grinding equipment, we mechanically prepare your concrete before applying coatings. While a thorough wash may be necessary in some instances, introducing moisture is not recommended unless required. Our investment in top-of-the-line equipment is aimed at reducing prep time and, consequently, expediting the turnaround on your farm projects.
