Where this fits in our process

Every floor we coat follows a preparation-first process. Coating performance depends heavily on preparation — repair, grinding, and surface preparation come before the coating system is ever applied.

  1. Inspect the Concrete. Review the existing slab, visible damage, previous coatings, cracks, surface contamination, and project requirements.
  2. Repair & Patch. Address appropriate damaged areas, holes, cracks, or surface defects included in the project scope before coating.
  3. Mechanical Grinding. Mechanically grind and prepare the concrete — diamond grinding — to remove weak surface material and create a suitable profile for the coating system.
  4. Final Surface Preparation. Clean and prepare the floor for coating after grinding and repairs are completed.
  5. Coating Application. Apply the selected epoxy / coating system according to the approved project scope.
  6. Decorative Flake, Where Applicable. Broadcast decorative flake when included in the selected flooring system.
  7. Finish / Protective Coat. Complete the system with the specified finishing layer when included in the selected project scope.
  8. Final Review. Inspect the completed floor and review appropriate care and use instructions with the customer.

Project timelines and coating recommendations vary based on the condition of the concrete, preparation requirements, system selected, and project environment.
