Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the 3-part system used for your concrete coatings?
Our premium concrete coating process consists of three steps:
Polyurea Base Coat: A durable, flexible foundation that bonds chemically with the concrete, providing superior adhesion and strength.
Full Flake Coverage: A 100% broadcast of vinyl paint chips creates a customizable, granite-like aesthetic while adding texture and slip resistance.
Polyaspartic Top Coat: A UV-stable, high-gloss clear coat that protects against abrasion, chemicals, and yellowing, ensuring long-lasting beauty and durability. This system is 4-5x stronger than traditional epoxy, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

How long does the installation process take?
Our innovative one-day installation process ensures minimal disruption. Our expert technicians prepare the concrete surface, apply the 3-part system, and complete the job in a single day. The floor is ready for light use within 24 hours and full use shortly after, depending on conditions.
Is your coating system really stronger than epoxy? Yes! Our polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are 5x stronger and five times more flexible than epoxy. This flexibility helps combat cracking during temperature changes, such as freeze/thaw cycles, and provides superior resistance to chipping, peeling, or fading.
What surfaces can your coatings be applied to?
Our coatings are designed for nearly any concrete surface, including garage floors, basements, patios, porches, and high-traffic commercial or industrial spaces. Proper surface preparation ensures optimal adhesion and performance.
Are the coatings safe and environmentally friendly?
Our polyurea and polyaspartic coatings have low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for you, your family, and the environment. They are also non-toxic once cured, creating a safe surface for homes, businesses, or even pet-friendly spaces.
What are the benefits of full flake coverage?
Full flake coverage offers:
Customizable Aesthetics: Choose from a variety of chip colors to match your style, creating a seamless, granite-like finish.
Enhanced Durability: The vinyl chips add an extra layer of protection against wear and tear.
Slip Resistance: The textured surface improves safety, even when wet.
How do I maintain my coated floor?
Our coatings are low-maintenance and easy to clean. Simply sweep or vacuum debris and clean with mild soap and water. The non-porous, stain-resistant surface resists chemicals, oils, and tire marks, keeping your floor looking pristine with minimal effort.
Is the coating UV-stable and resistant to yellowing?
Yes, our polyaspartic top coat is 100% UV-stable, ensuring your floor won’t yellow or fade, even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. This makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We stand behind our work with a lifetime residential warranty, ensuring your floor remains durable and maintenance-free for years to come. Contact us for specific warranty details for commercial or industrial projects.
Can I customize the look of my floor?
Absolutely! We offer a wide range of flake colors and combinations to create a personalized, stylish finish that complements your space. Our team will work with you to design a floor that matches your aesthetic vision.
How do you prepare the concrete before coating?
Proper preparation is key to a lasting finish. We use industrial-grade grinders or shot blasters to create a clean, profiled surface (CSP-2, as recommended by ICRI guidelines). We also repair cracks and imperfections with a high-quality concrete polygrout to ensure a smooth, durable base.
Is the coating suitable for heavy use or industrial settings?
Yes, our polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are designed for high-traffic and heavy-use environments, such as warehouses, factories, and showrooms. They offer excellent resistance to impacts, chemicals, and heavy machinery, making them ideal for industrial applications.
