Our 5 Step Process
Step 1: Moisture Test
We will always test the moisture level of concrete to ensure the substrate is a candidate for the coating process. Excess moisture in the concrete may cause concrete coating systems to fail.
Step 2: The Grind
A vital step of the process is surface preparation by diamond grind. Our Machines are capable of preparing hard and soft concrete substrates for coatings. We use the best industry specific tools and machinery to create an optimal profile in the concrete for adhesion. Our HEPA dust extraction systems create a virtually dustless environment during preparation.
Step 3: Priming & Repairs
Priming the concrete after grinding ensures a good bond to our mechanical profile (our scratch), and lengthens the life of your epoxy floor. If moisture levels are high, we will prime with an epoxy vapour barrier coat.
We fill gaps, cracks, and spalling with polyurethane fillers, and epoxy mortar/slurry mixtures (resin and silica mixtures).
Step 4: Coating Application and Flake Broadcast
We mix and apply the intermediate coat of epoxy. This is an 8-10 mil thick layer of material, colour coordinating with your Flake selection. We then broadcast the flakes onto the wet epoxy floor and stem walls. We then remove the excess flake from the floor and scrape smooth. A thorough vacuum is required.
Step 5: Polyaspartic Sealer
A clear polyaspartic sealer is applied, and your floor is now complete.
