The system
Quartz or flake on a plant floor.
Quartz is the heavier build. The aggregate does the work. Flake is lighter, and it forgives a slab that has had a life. Which one you get follows from your list and from where the machines stand. The top coat gets picked for what lands on it. The coat by coat build-up lives on the system pages.

What it costs
What moves the number.
We stand by our quote. It moves only if you change something, or if the slab turns out to be hiding something nobody could see. You hear that before we start.
Send photos and measurements and we can price it without coming out first. On a plant floor we would rather walk it. Most of what moves the number is standing on it.
Four things move it.

How a job runs
The walk, then the date.
The walk decides the order of the work, and the date comes after it.
The shutdown
When the machines are off.
So the date comes out of your shutdown, not out of our calendar. Prep is one operation. Coating is the operation behind it, and the clear coat is a pass of its own.
Two crews, in sequence.
Two crews working in sequence is what lets the work move across a slab instead of sitting on it.
A machine that never moves.
A machine bolted to the slab presses on the same few square inches for years. It never relocates. Nothing about that patch of floor ever gets a rest.
That changes two things: where the load sits, and where the mess collects. Both of them stay put. The coolant that runs off one machine runs off it every shift, onto the same strip of concrete.
Tell us what stands in the building, where it stands, and what comes off it. That goes into the system we quote.
A clear bay, or an edge.
What can come out of the building decides the rest. A machine that can be moved gives us a clear bay. A machine that stays gives us an edge to work to. We walk it with you first. Then we set the date.
Getting a crew onto your floor.
Access belongs in that schedule too. On the site walk, tell us what your plant requires to let a crew in. Badging, sign in, PPE, a safety briefing, lockout tagout on anything near the work. We would rather know that before the first day than on it.
Out for bid?
Call us and we'll tell you where to send the spec section.
The chemistry
The chemistry picks the system.
Most people call this industrial epoxy. The resin matters. What lands on it matters more.
Coolant, cutting oil, and whatever comes out of the parts washer. On a plant floor that list picks the system, and it picks it before the traffic does.
No floor coating is chemical proof. Coatings are resistant to specific chemicals, at specific concentrations, for a specific amount of time. That is not a hedge. That is how the tables are written.
Heat counts too. A warm spill asks a different question than the same liquid cold.
So write the list. What gets spilled, and how strong it is. How long it sits there before somebody wipes it. How hot it is when it lands. Put your cleaners on it as well. What you wash the floor with is on it more often than anything you make. Send us that list and we will tell you what holds.
The slab
Oil goes deeper than you think.
A plant slab has been taking oil since the first machine ran.
Open concrete, not oiled concrete.
A coating needs open concrete. Grind an oiled slab without degreasing it first and you drive the oil deeper into the pore. You have made it worse, and you cannot see that you did. Degreasing comes before grinding.
Silicone.
Silicone is the one nobody expects. Maintenance sprays, release agents, anything with silicone in it, they all leave a film the wet coating pulls away from. What you get is a round crater with a raised rim. And silicone does not grind off. It smears.
The joints.
Then there are the joints. Control joints are there so the slab cracks in one place instead of everywhere. Smear a coating across them and the slab cracks anyway, now through the coating and on a ragged line. In a plant they matter for a second reason. An open joint is where coolant and wash water go, and where grit collects that nobody gets back out.
A crack that is still moving.
And a coating does not bridge a crack that is still moving. We fill what is static, and we tell you which ones are not.
All of that is why we look before we price. What we find on the walk goes into the number.
Our area
Where our crews drive.
We work out of Fort Worth. Tarrant County is the day to day range, and larger commercial projects pull us further across DFW.

Straight answers
Questions we get on plant floors.
A machine that stays puts an edge in the floor. Where that edge runs is a decision we make with you on the walk, not afterward. So is what happens at the foot of it.
Prep is one operation and coating is the one behind it. How that splits across your bays is what the site walk settles. So is how small a piece we can finish in one go.
Three moments matter, and they are not the same day. First you can walk it. Then it carries weight. Last the chemistry finishes, and that is later than the second. In a plant the third one is the one to ask about. That is when the floor is at full chemical resistance.
Any smooth resin floor is slick when it is wet. Grip comes from what we put in the surface. The quartz itself, or an anti-slip additive in the last coat. Oil is a separate question from water, and it belongs on the list you send us.
