Our Installation Process
We start by mechanically grinding the concrete floor to remove any old coatings, stains and dirt. Concrete grinding also helps us achieve the correct concrete profiling.
Once we finish grinding the floor, we move onto repairing any cracks, holes and hairlines. This step is important for the structural integrity of both the concrete floor and the metallic epoxy.
When the floor is fully repaired, we move on to applying the epoxy flake floor system. We start by applying a self-leveling epoxy prime coat (moisture/dust barrier for fair-poor grade concrete), followed by a base coat, 100% solids self-leveling two-component catalyzed solid color epoxy. Once the base coat is applied, we broadcast the vinyl flakes. The flake coat provides additional durability and texture, giving your floor a complete finish.
Once the base coat is fully cured, we scrape the excess and loose flakes off the floor to ensure a leveled textured finish. Lastly, we seal and protect with a 100% solids self-leveling UV-resistant non-yellowing polyaspartic high-gloss top coat with an optional slip-resistant additive for additional texture.
