Four systems

What runs across your floor decides which one you need.

Four systems go down on concrete floors in Fort Worth. Flake, quartz and metallic are epoxy floor systems, and something goes on top of the slab.

Polished concrete is not a coating. Diamonds open the slab up and a densifier hardens it. The concrete you already have becomes the floor.

Call it all epoxy if you like, we're not going to correct you on the phone. Epoxy or polyaspartic settles what the words actually mean.

Start here

Start with what happens on the floor.

The use decides the system. The color comes after.

Cars go in and out, and you work in the room.

The system
Flake.
Why
Color chips break up the light, so a slab that never looked good stops showing. They give you grip too.

    What it is
    Diamonds and a densifier on the concrete that is already there
    When it is the wrong pick
    Your slab is rough and you want it to look new. Then you want a coating.

All four go down inside buildings across Fort Worth and Tarrant County. We don't put any of them outside.

Each of the four has its own page, with the build, the upkeep and its own colors. The written price comes after we see the floor.

What gets spilled counts as much as what gets driven over. Tell us what actually hits your floor.

What holds

What the floor is stuck to.

Three of the four rest on a bond between resin and concrete. The fourth doesn't.

When a resin floor fails, it usually fails at the bottom. The coating was fine, the bond under it wasn't. That's why we grind the slab open.

The box at the hardware store sells you the coating. It leaves the slab to you, and the slab is the part that decides the outcome.

A polish has no bond to lose. The slab itself decides how far the shine goes, and that gets checked first.

On our flake and quartz systems: a 10-Year Limited Workmanship Warranty. If it peels or delaminates because of our prep or our application, we fix it.*

*Terms and conditions apply, and our share of a repair steps down over the ten years. You get the full warranty in writing before you sign.
