Finishes

Preparing the Floor – Base Coating

First, we mix the base coating, our self-priming polyurea, which we use to seal the edges and coat the prepared concrete floor. We use rollers to ensure a smooth distribution of the polyurea. This rolling process is repeated several times to maintain a uniform and complete coverage.

Spreading the Color Flake

After the base layer is smoothly spread, we "broadcast" (evenly scatter) your choice of flake color into the still-wet base layer by hand. Using a sufficiently large quantity of flake, we ensure an even and complete covering for a uniform finish in texture and color.

Scraping the Flake

After the base is fully cured, we "scrape" the flake layer down, using metal scraping tools. We’ll walk evenly over the surface, applying pressure to scrape loose any flakes which are standing above the surface, and smoothing it evenly all over.

Applying a Clear Coating

Once prepped, base layered, flaked and scraped, we vacuum up any loose flakes and, in the final stage, apply a transparent coating. We’ll begin with the upright surfaces, then spread the top layer over the horizontal surfaces. To maintain an even distribution we combine rolling with use of a squeegee, achieving a perfectly smooth finish.

Readying your Floor for Use

We recommend leaving the floor for 4 to 6 hours to ensure its fully dry before walking on it. After 48 hours it should be solid enough to drive or park. Hopefully you’ll love your pristine new floor!
