The system
Why quartz on a warehouse floor.
Quartz is the heavier build. That's why it goes down in warehouses, distribution aisles and rooms with heavy rolling equipment. You buy a warehouse floor on traffic and on scheduling.

- Texture, not gloss

- Walk, then weight, then it cures
What it costs
What moves the number.
Send photos and measurements and we can price it without coming out first. On a floor this size, we would rather walk it first. Most of what moves the number is in the slab.
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.
Four things move it.

Reviews of General Striping, LLC, the Fort Worth company behind Gilded Surfaces.
How a job runs
The walk, then the date.
The walk decides the order of the work, and the date comes after it.
The calendar
What the schedule depends on.
On a warehouse floor, the number you compare is the floor. The number that costs you is the calendar. So the schedule is the first thing we work out with you.
Prep, then coating, then the clear coat.
Prep is one operation. Coating is the operation behind it, and the clear coat is a pass of its own. Two crews working in sequence is also how a big floor gets done at all. It's what lets the work move across a slab instead of sitting on it.
Your racking, your dock doors, your pick lane.
Your racking, your dock doors and the lane your pickers walk decide where we start. We walk the floor with you first. Then we set the date.
Getting a crew through your gate.
Access belongs in that schedule too. On the site walk, tell us what your building requires to let a crew in. Badging, sign in, PPE, a safety briefing. We'd rather know that before the first day than on it.
A slab that's still catching up.
Concrete warms slower than the air. Long after the morning is warm, the slab is still catching up. A slab that is catching up pushes air up through a wet coating. That is one of the reasons a summer job gets planned around the slab and not around the calendar.
Out for bid?
Call us and we'll tell you where to send the spec section.
The lines
The lines are the other half.
A coating is half of what a distribution floor needs. The other half is the lines, and on a running building the two are one planning problem.
Gilded Surfaces is a division of General Striping, LLC. Same company, same office, same phone number as the one on this page. Lines are what that name is for.
Ignore them and you call a second contractor back into a building you just got back. So raise it on the site walk. Tell us what has to be back on the floor, and in what order. Then ask us whether that runs as one job or two.
The traffic
What runs across your floor.
Most people call this warehouse epoxy. The resin matters. What runs across it matters more.
The joints are where wheel traffic shows up first. A wheel that crosses a control joint hits an edge, and an edge with nothing under it breaks down. That is why the filler in the joint carries as much of the job as the coating over it.
What stands still asks a different question than what drives. Racking legs and loaded pallets press on a small footprint and stay there. Tell us what is in the building and where it stands, and that goes into the build we quote.
The slab
What we find on a warehouse slab.
Most warehouse slabs have already been coated, patched or worn down by something, and you can see it.
Open concrete.
A coating needs open concrete. It doesn't hold on the thin, weak layer that sits on top of a finished slab. It doesn't hold on an old sealer or a curing compound either. You can't see either one. Oil is worse. Grind an oiled slab without degreasing it first and you drive the oil deeper into the pore.
Opening a big floor.
Two things open a big floor: diamond grinding and shot blasting. Blasting is faster over a large area and leaves a coarser profile. Grinding is easier to control in a building that's still in use.
The coating that's on there now.
If there's already a coating down, we grind it off. If it's sound and we can prove it with a test patch, we'll tell you. We don't guess, because a new floor is only as good as the layer it's stuck to.
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. The trade answer is a semi-rigid filler in the joint that carries the edge against a wheel. A cheap bid leaves that out. 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.
Water under the slab.
And concrete holds water. If that water has nowhere to go, it collects under the coating and pushes it off the slab. That's a way a coating fails that has nothing to do with the coating, and it is decided before anyone opens a bucket.
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 warehouse floors.
We won't answer that from a web page. Prep is one operation and coating is the one behind it. The site walk settles whether that splits around your operation, and in what size pieces.
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. Ask us for all three.
Battery acid at the charging station. Hydraulic oil under a forklift. Whatever comes out of the scrubber. Those are three different questions. No floor coating is chemical proof. Coatings are resistant to specific chemicals, at specific concentrations, for a specific amount of time. Send us the list of what hits your floor and we will tell you what holds.
The dock door in the rain is where this shows up. 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. You decide that with us, on the walk.
Gilded Surfaces is a division of General Striping, LLC. The brand is new. The company has been in business in Fort Worth since 2012, and the accounting runs through the LLC. A certificate of insurance is available on request.
A coating does not level a slab and it does not fix drainage. If water can't leave your floor, that is a prep question before it is a coating question.
