Generally 2-3 days for a garage floor for example. First day for repairs, joints, and general prep. Second day for touch ups, final grind, details and base/flake coat. Third day for removal of flake/quartz, detail touch ups and clear coat. From there it’s usually best to stay off the floor for 48 hours. In more industrial applications or larger spaces we can expedite the process to one day or even sooner.

In general, NO! We are NOT a one day floor operation. This is my art and my livelihood. I do oversee all the work so I’m not going to send some techs over to “bang out the job.” I’ll be there and you will see me and can ask questions as we redefine your space. Additionally I like to fill in the joints. This provides a seamless floor (which looks amazing) and can help with ongoing maintenance…ie you cleaning those joints out continuously. Many companies don’t like doing this as it adds TIME. To me, it adds beauty and functionality…long term

Resinous flooring is a modern flooring solution that is gaining popularity in various commercial and industrial settings. Composed of a combination of resin and hardeners, this type of flooring creates a seamless, durable surface that can withstand heavy traffic and harsh conditions. Unlike traditional flooring options such as tile or carpet, resinous flooring offers several unique advantages. One of the primary differences is its seamless nature. Traditional floors often have joints and seams, which can harbor dirt, bacteria, and moisture. In contrast, resinous flooring provides a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain. This makes it an ideal choice for environments like hospitals, kitchens, and manufacturing facilities where hygiene is paramount. Additionally, resinous flooring can be customized in terms of color and texture to meet specific aesthetic needs while also offering slip-resistant properties for safety. Its resilience against chemicals and stains further sets it apart from traditional materials like wood or vinyl.

Resinous flooring systems are increasingly popular in various industries due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. The primary materials used in these systems include resins, hardeners, and aggregates. 1. **Resins**: The backbone of any resinous flooring system is the resin itself, which can be made from various chemical compounds. Common types of resins used include epoxy, polyurethane, and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Each type has unique properties that make it suitable for different applications. For instance, epoxy is known for its excellent adhesion and chemical resistance, making it ideal for industrial settings. 2. **Hardeners**: Hardeners are essential components that react with the resin to create a solid and durable surface. They initiate the curing process and determine the final properties of the flooring system. The choice of hardener can affect factors such as cure time, temperature resistance, and overall strength. 3. **Aggregates**: Aggregates are added to enhance the performance characteristics of resinous flooring systems. These materials can range from quartz sand to decorative chips or flakes that provide texture and visual appeal. Aggregates improve slip resistance while also contributing to the overall thickness and durability of the floor. I like to add in a good amount of aggregate into our systems…the main reason being durability but the lower gloss levels seem to be a trend and can hide flaws in the substrate.

The most common types of systems we do are solid color, flake broadcast, and metallics. We also can provide quartz broadcast as well. Aggregates such as quartz or flakes can be added to enhance the texture and slip resistance of the flooring.

Resinous flooring has gained popularity in commercial spaces due to its numerous benefits. One of the primary advantages is its durability; resinous floors are resistant to heavy foot traffic, impacts, and abrasions, making them ideal for busy environments such as retail stores, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. Another significant benefit is the ease of maintenance. These floors are non-porous and can be easily cleaned with simple mopping or scrubbing, reducing long-term upkeep costs. Additionally, resinous flooring offers a seamless surface that minimizes the risk of dirt accumulation in cracks or crevices. Aesthetically, resinous flooring provides a wide range of design options. Businesses can choose from various colors and finishes to create an appealing environment that aligns with their branding. Furthermore, many resin systems are available with anti-slip properties for enhanced safety in high-traffic areas. Lastly, resinous flooring is environmentally friendly; many products are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to better indoor air quality. Overall, choosing resinous flooring for commercial spaces not only enhances functionality but also elevates the overall aesthetic appeal and safety of the environment.

The installation process of resinous flooring involves several key steps to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. First, the existing floor surface must be properly prepared. This includes cleaning, repairing any damages, and ensuring the surface is free of contaminants such as dust, oil, or moisture. Next, the substrate is typically ground down to create a rough texture that promotes adhesion. Once prepared, a primer is applied to enhance bonding between the substrate and the resin layer. After the primer has cured, the resin mixture—composed of resins and hardeners—is mixed according to manufacturer specifications. This mixture is then poured onto the floor and spread evenly using specialized tools. Depending on the desired thickness and finish, multiple layers may be applied. Once each layer cures—usually requiring 12-24 hours—the final step involves applying a topcoat for added durability and protection against wear and tear

The main difference is UV protection: whereas epoxy can provide good UV “resistance”, polys are known to have excellent UV “stability” to protect from the sun for longer. I’ve seen a LOT of claims out there that Polyurea (or similar) are 6x stronger than epoxy. Not true…or at least I have not seen any evidence of that. Epoxies are a tried and true coating. Poly may offer a bit more flexibility but that won’t be a defining factor for most customers.

On average, the installation cost of resinous flooring can range from $3 to $12 per square foot, depending on factors such as the type of resin used, the complexity of the design, and labor costs in your area. In comparison, traditional materials like hardwood can range from $5 to $15 per square foot for materials alone, with additional costs for installation. Similarly, tile flooring may fall between $6 to $20 per square foot based on material choice and design intricacies. Our “ballpark pricing” is as follows per SQUARE FOOT: Single coat “clear” or solid color: $2.50-$4 Random flake broadcast: $4-$6 FULL flake broadcast: $4.50- $6.50 Metallic systems: $6.50-$10+ (add $1 for basement for moisture barrier) Just for easy reference that would come to about $1000 a garage “stall.” So $2,000 for a 2 car garage, $3,000 for a 3 car garage etc. Obviously that depends on repairs, joints, footing and steps…but this is a good rule of thumb
