Static dissipative flooring, also called ESD flooring, is a coating system engineered to control the buildup and discharge of static electricity.
Urethane cement flooring is a cement-based, urethane-modified coating system built for heavy-duty, high-heat, and food and beverage environments.
Self-leveling epoxy is a high-flow epoxy coating that spreads out and settles into a smooth, seamless surface with very little manual troweling.
Terrazzo flooring is a decorative, ground-and-polished surface made from stone or glass chips set in a cement or epoxy binder.
An epoxy primer is the base coat that soaks into prepared concrete to seal pores and create a strong bond for the flooring system applied over it.
Polyurea is a fast-curing, highly flexible coating that cures in seconds to minutes, making it a common choice for high-traffic and time-sensitive coating jobs.
A concrete sealer protects a slab from moisture, staining, and abrasion, either as a topical film on the surface or a penetrating treatment absorbed into the pores.
Flake flooring is a decorative epoxy system made by broadcasting colored vinyl chips, or flakes, into a wet resin base coat and sealing them under one or more clear topcoats. It is a popular choice for garages, basements, and commercial floors because it hides minor surface imperfections and adds texture. How Flake Flooring Is Installed […]
A non-slip additive is a fine aggregate, such as aluminum oxide, polymer beads, or silica sand, blended into a topcoat or broadcast onto a coating to increase surface traction. It is added specifically to reduce slip hazards on floors that get wet, greasy, or heavily trafficked. Types of Non-Slip Additives Aluminum oxide grit offers strong, […]
