How We Install

Every coating system — flake, metallic, quartz and solid colour — runs through the same prep and installation process.

Concrete Coatings

The Full Installation Process

A layered system built on mechanical prep, a high-bond base coat layer, full-broadcast vinyl flake, and a polyaspartic topcoat. Built for homeowners who need a durable, chemical-resistant floor with a fast turnaround.

What It Looks Like On Site

The same four stages run on every coating system we install — flake, metallic, quartz and solid colour.

Stage 01

Mechanical Prep

Diamond grinding to a CSP 2–3 profile. No acid etching, ever.

Stage 02

Base Coat

Rolled and back-rolled into the opened slab — an MVB base where the moisture reading calls for one.

Vinyl flake broadcast by hand into a wet base coat
Stage 03

Colour Layer

Flake broadcast to rejection, or hand-worked metallic, quartz or solid colour.

Top Coat & Return

A UV-stable poly top coat seals it. Foot traffic in 6–8 hours.

Why the Process Matters

Most floor failures come back to one thing: skipped prep. Here's what we don't cut corners on.

Moisture Testing First

Moisture vapor trapped under a coating is the number one cause of early delamination. We test before we commit to any system.

Mechanical Prep, Always

We grind every floor with diamond tooling to a CSP 2–3 profile. Acid etching and shot blasting don't open pores the same way — we don't use them.

Crack Repair Before Coating

Coatings print every imperfection underneath them. Anything we don't fix before we coat will show through when it's too late to fix it.

Engineered Base Layer

Our base coat layer is engineered for deep adhesion and flexibility — faster cure, better bond strength, and more forgiving under impact than standard epoxy systems.

No Week-Long Shutdowns

Polyaspartic chemistry means foot traffic in 6–8 hours. Your home doesn't stay down while we wait for a slow cure.

Straight Quotes, No Games

We assess the slab in person before quoting. What we tell you on-site is what you pay — no surprises after we've already started grinding.

Not Sure Which System Is Right?

We'll walk the floor with you, answer your questions, and tell you straight which system fits the job — no sales pressure.
