Applications

The volume market. A two- or three-car garage is a one-day install for a two-person crew, the homeowner is home to see it happen, and the referral rate is high because it is the most visible improvement most people make to a garage.

What sells it is the flake. A full broadcast to rejection in a custom color blend reads as a finished room rather than a painted slab, and it hides the dirt that a solid-color floor shows immediately.

What keeps it sold is UV stability. The strip of floor inside the garage door gets direct sun every afternoon, and that is exactly where an epoxy floor ambers first.

Spec: grind to CSP 3–5 including edges · Concrete Mender on cracks and control joints · OR-621 basecoat with vinyl flake broadcast to rejection · scrape and vacuum · OR-55 clear topcoat. Foot traffic next day, vehicles in 48–72 hours.

Warehouse floor work is measured in tens of thousands of square feet and scheduled around an operation that cannot stop. The constraint is almost never the coating — it is how much floor you can prep, coat, and return to service between the last outbound and the first inbound.

Fast cure is what makes sectional work possible. Coat a set of aisles over a weekend, hand them back Monday, come back the following weekend for the next section.

Spalled control joints get repaired ahead of the coating — a joint that is destroying forklift wheels is the reason the facility called in the first place, and coating over it accomplishes nothing.

Spec: shot blast to CSP 4–5 · Concrete Mender on all joint spalling and cracking · OR-621 basecoat · quartz broadcast in high-wear lanes · OR-55 or OR-75DCL topcoat, pigmented with striping applied over it.

Service bay floors are the hardest chemical environment in light commercial work — brake fluid, hydraulic oil, coolant, diesel, battery acid, and road salt dropping off vehicles all winter.

They are also the floors most likely to be contaminated before you start. Decades of oil has soaked into the slab, and grinding alone will not fix it. Degrease chemically, then grind, then verify before coating.

Non-slip matters here more than anywhere else. A wet, oily floor with a smooth gloss finish is a workers-compensation claim waiting to be filed.

Spec: Super Orange Cleaner degrease · grind to CSP 4 · 7001 Primer over stained areas to stop bleed-through · Concrete Mender on cracks · OR-621 basecoat · OR-55 topcoat with non-slip aggregate.

Food service floors are a sanitation problem before they are a durability problem. Any seam, joint, or grout line is a place bacteria lives and an inspector writes down.

A seamless coated floor with integral coved base eliminates the floor-to-wall joint entirely, and the surface can be washed aggressively with hot water and caustic cleaners without film failure.

Slip resistance is mandatory rather than optional — these floors are wet most of the shift, and the aggregate loading has to survive daily scrubbing.

Spec: degrease and shot blast to CSP 4–5 · Concrete Mender on drain surrounds and cracks · integral cove at wall transitions · OR-621 basecoat · quartz broadcast · OR-55 topcoat with non-slip loading, carried into drains.

Where the floor is part of the presentation, the finish carries the job. Full flake broadcast in a custom blend, or a pigmented metallic-style finish under a high-build clear, gives a surface that reads as designed rather than industrial.

Aircraft hangars deserve a specific note: they combine showroom-level appearance expectations with fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemical exposure, plus point loads from jacks and tugs. The system handles all of it, but the topcoat selection and build need to be specified for the actual aircraft on the floor.

Spec: grind to CSP 3–4 for a smooth finish profile · Concrete Mender on all visible defects · OR-621 basecoat with full flake or pigment · OR-55 or OR-75DCL high-build clear topcoat. Confirm point-load requirements for hangar work.
