Metallic
Metallic floor coatings offer a unique, high-end aesthetic that creates a striking, three-dimensional appearance on industrial floors. These coatings use metallic pigments mixed into epoxy or polyaspartic bases to produce reflective, swirling patterns that mimic the look of molten metal or polished stone. Metallic coatings are especially popular in automotive showrooms, retail stores, and other commercial spaces where visual impact is a priority. Beyond their stunning appearance, they also provide a durable and seamless surface that can withstand heavy traffic and resist chemicals, making them a practical choice for various industrial applications.Continue reading
Quartz
Quartz is a robust and decorative option for industrial floor coatings, known for its durability and slip resistance. This material consists of finely ground quartz particles mixed into the epoxy or polyaspartic base, creating a textured and visually appealing finish. Quartz coatings are commonly used in automotive service bays, commercial high-traffic areas, and manufacturing floors where both aesthetics and performance are critical. Its excellent resistance to wear and chemicals also makes it ideal for pharmaceutical environments and food and beverage processing areas, ensuring long-lasting and safe flooring solutions.Continue reading
Decorative Flake
Decorative flake is a popular option for industrial floor coatings, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. These flakes are typically broadcast into a base coat of epoxy or polyaspartic and then sealed with a topcoat, creating a visually appealing, slip-resistant surface. Decorative flake is widely used in automotive showrooms, service areas, and commercial spaces like retail stores and educational institutions, where durability and design versatility are essential. Additionally, it enhances the appearance of warehouse administrative areas, providing a professional and polished look.Continue reading
Power Trowelling
Power trowelling is used to achieve a smooth and flat finish on newly poured concrete surfaces. This technique involves the use of specialized machinery equipped with rotating blades that meticulously level and compact the concrete. By employing power trowelling, we ensure a dense and uniform surface, which is crucial for the subsequent application of coatings or finishes. This method not only enhances the strength and durability of the concrete but also provides an ideal foundation for further treatment, such as polishing or coating. The precision and efficiency of power trowelling result in a high-quality, resilient floor that meets the rigorous demands of industrial environments.Continue reading
