Repair Damaged or Cracked Cement Flooring
In order for a quality smooth finish and moisture barrier on your epoxy concrete flooring installation, we first use a repair compound as the first step of our installation process to repair cracks and imperfections.
Sand
We then grind down, sand, and etch the entire surface of your cement floor so that it is flat and even and has a rough sandpaper texture. This assists the epoxy in adhering and going on evenly, as well as prevents slip and fall issues caused by a perfectly smooth floor.
Epoxy And Decorative Elements
Once the surface has been sanded and repaired, we apply the epoxy base coat, and add special items like custom metal flakes or metallic pigments. This is where most of your color choices come into play.
The base coat is available in a variety of colors. This coating works to seal your concrete flooring and provides a base for the flakes or metallic elements to adhere to. The flakes are available in a large variety of colors and sizes, allowing you to fully customize the look of your concrete floor coating installation.
Cure & Topcoat
The exact time to cure depends on the specific elements you choose to include in your design. During the curing process of epoxy, it is crucial that there is no vehicular or foot traffic on the floor. It is important for the epoxy to cure completely, before we apply the topcoat for a final seal and finished look.
