Installation of Metallic Epoxy Flooring

​This graphic shows the different steps to install the metallic epoxy flooring.

Steps for Installation:

1.  We come out and evaluate your concrete.  We measure the area to be coated and measure cracks you have.  We note cracks that need stitched as well as any that need V-Grooved and patched.  We also look for any stains that may be present and need to be removed.  We give you the estimated cost and schedule the work to be done.

2.  We come out tape off areas to be worked on and tape plastic to protect all other areas.  We then grind the concrete to the profile that it needs to be.  We repair any cracks you may have and grind back over the repairs to get an even surface.  (There will be dust present but it is minimal as we have vacuums attached to our grinders).

3.  If a MVB (Moisture Vapor Barrier) needs to be installed we do that.  We can put the pigment into this coat as well.  This will serve as the base coat step.  Otherwise we put a pigmented base coat down. We then let that coat dry (average 1 1/2 to 2 hrs depending on temperature). 

4.  After it has dried, we will install another pigmented coat.  With this coat, we cover the surface but then, make different swirl type movements to get a artistic effect.  This is a one of a kind only finish.  Even though it may be similar to other Metallic systems, every one is unique.  Depending on the client's preference, other things may be added to give it a more 3D or "fish eye" affect.  This must be discussed prior to installation.

5.  We will then apply the top coat that has the traction additive.

6.  Once the top coat is dry, we will remove the tape and you may walk on it 2 hours after completion of installation and drive on it 24 hours after installation.
