This step is crucial for the success of a new coating on a concrete surface. It removes contaminants and opens up surface pores for better adhesion. We provide the best method for surface preparation, which is mechanical grinding. This method provides improved adhesion, enhances safety, and provides long-lasting, high-quality finishes.

During the surface preparation, it is essential to vacuum dust and debris because it helps to remove contaminants from the concrete surface. Dust and debris can prevent proper adhesion of the new coating, which can lead to issues such as peeling or delamination. By vacuuming, we can ensure that the surface is clean and free of any loose particles that could interfere with the bonding process.

10 MIL Application of Tru-Flow Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy Basecoat: To prevent moisture-related issues, a 10 MIL (thousandths of an inch) thick moisture vapor barrier epoxy basecoat is applied. This basecoat acts as a shield against moisture vapor transmission from the underlying concrete. It ensures that the flooring system remains unaffected by moisture, making it a reliable choice for spaces prone to humidity or water exposure.

The second day begins with a thorough inspection to address any imperfections that may have been missed during the initial crack repairs and grinding. Achieving a completely smooth and even surface is essential to ensure that the subsequent layers adhere correctly and result in a flawless finish.

Tru-Flow Designer Metallic Epoxy Application (35-45 MILS Thick): This is the pivotal step that gives the flooring its distinctive three-dimensional effect. The Tru-Flow Designer Metallic Epoxy, enriched with metallic pigments, is skillfully applied to the surface. The thickness of 35-45 MILS (thousandths of an inch) is crucial for creating depth and movement within the epoxy layer. As the epoxy cures, it forms a glossy and reflective surface that mimics the appearance of depth and texture, providing a unique visual experience.

Tru 3-D Dispersion Pigments: The integration of Tru 3-D Dispersion Pigments is pivotal for achieving the mesmerizing metallic effect. These pigments are carefully mixed into the epoxy, creating a distinctive pattern that adds complexity and character to the floor's appearance. The use of multiple colors can enhance the depth and visual interest of the design.

4 MIL Application of Tru Alpha High Wear Polyurea Satin or Gloss: Day 3 focuses on adding a protective layer to the metallic epoxy design. A 4 MIL thick layer of Tru Alpha High Wear Polyurea is meticulously applied. This protective coat serves to enhance the flooring's durability, making it resistant to wear, chemicals, and potential damage. The choice between a satin or gloss finish allows for some customization of the final appearance, with gloss lending a reflective shine and satin providing a more subdued elegance.

4 MIL Application of Tru Alpha High Wear Polyurea Satin or Gloss: The final day mirrors the protective process of Day 3. Another 4 MIL layer of Tru Alpha High Wear Polyurea is expertly applied to fortify the flooring's longevity and resilience. This dual application of the protective topcoat ensures that the flooring system is well-prepared to withstand the rigors of daily use, especially in high-traffic areas.

Allow a full 48 hours for the flooring to dry completely before subjecting it to both light and heavy traffic. This essential curing period ensures the optimal durability and longevity of the metallic epoxy system, safeguarding its exquisite finish and resilience. During this crucial timeframe, it's advisable to avoid any activities that might compromise the flooring's integrity, allowing the installation to reach its full potential.
