PROCESS

STEP 1:

Preparation and Grinding

We start by mechanically grinding the concrete base with diamond heads to create the best profile for our coatings to adhere.
Dust is minimized by having all grinders hooked
up to vacuum systems.

STEP 2:

Concrete Restoration

Menders and fillers are used to
fix all of the pits and cracks before
the process begins.

STEP 3:

Base Coat

Our 100% solids, self-priming
pure Polyurea basecoat is mixed and applied.

STEP 4:

Broadcast
Chip flakes

Immediately, we generously
broadcast chip flakes by
hand, providing both color
and texture to the floor.

STEP 5:

Scrape & Vac

After the basecoat has cured, the floor is then scraped to ensure a uniform texture. A thorough vacuuming of all loose flakes follows. 

STEP 6:

Top Coat

The final step is to spread
and roll out the UV stable
Polyaspartic clear coat.
