STAIN AND SEAL
We use Trustone, which is a resurfacing technique that gives the appearance of granite countertop.
The concrete surface is mechanically profiled and taken up to approximately 100 grit level with our walk behind grinder/polisher. In a basement floor installation, we make repairs and fill cracks and then apply a topical water based epoxy or urethane. On exterior grind and seals, Concrete Art LLC, will grind off approximately an 1/8″ of the concrete surface to expose the aggregate in the concrete matrix and apply a solvent based exterior sealer to enhance the appearance.
Benefits: it can be more cost effective than polishing while still providing a low maintenance solution for our customers.
RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
Epoxy Flake Systems – chip floors are 3 to 5-layer systems depending on the size of the flake and degree of broadcast. These systems provide an industrial strength solution for residential basements/garages. The addition of a decorative border using a solid color epoxy or accent color flake will add the beauty and sophistication seen in high end terrazzo flooring.
Economical-Epoxy Flake systems are a cost-effective alternative to pre-engineered floors. Monolithic-resinous flooring provides an aesthetically pleasing, seamless floor that does not collect dirt, moisture or germs. Where Resinous Color flake systems can be installed: Basements, Bathrooms, Commercial Kitchens, Dog Kennels, Garage Floors, Hospitals, Laboratories, Laundromats, Locker Rooms, Pharmaceutical Plants, Public Municipalities, Restrooms, Schools, and more.
Benefits of Resinous Coatings and Acrylic Flake systems:
- Chemical and Stain Resistant
- Moisture Resistant
- Eliminates Concrete Dusting
- Resilient to Impacts and Surface Abrasion
- Hides Imperfections in the Concrete Surface, such as penetrated stains and spider and craze cracking
- Wide Variety of Epoxy colors and a Plethora of Decorative acrylic flake options to choose from
- Flood proof flooring solution for basement floors
Types of Coatings:
- Epoxy
- MVB Epoxy
- Polyaspartics
- Engineered Siloxane
- Quartz Systems
- MMA
- Urethane Cement
- Liquid Terrazzo
Quartz Systems – A decorative colored quartz broadcast floor ranges in thickness from 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch. Colored quartz granules are broadcast into a clear epoxy base coat, then top coated twice, with a clear polyaspartic, siloxane, urethane, or polyurea. Typically, Concrete Art LLC installs a seamless cove base with the quartz floor system to allow for easy clean-up and superior durability.
Quartz resinous systems are ideal for food processing areas, locker rooms, bathrooms, retail, and industrial concrete surfaces.
MMA – rapid curing, 100% reactive, Methyl Methacrylate Resin floor coating system. Thickness ranges from an 1/8″ to 1/4″ or greater. A hard wearing, durable, flexible, seamless hygienic concrete coating system that can be used on walls as well as flooring giving a full hygienic, seamless room. It is a four layer system comprising of Primer, Flakes/Chips/Quartz and two coats of top coat.
Benefits: fully dries and cures in 1 hour, no shutdowns. Its flexible and stronger than concrete, smooth or skid resistance, 100% seamless, application guaranteed-product and application guaranteed taking risk away from client.
Urethane Cement – Basically is water based polyurethane mixed with portland cement & graded aggregates. Particularly, popular in commercial kitchens and food/beverage processing facilities.
Benefits: excellent thermal shock resistance, can be anti-microbial, very low odor, and can handle high levels of (MVT) Moisture Vapor Transmission.
Polyaspartic coatings have three times the adhesion power and durability than epoxy systems and have increased abrasion resistant and are UV stable.
Benefits:
- Outperforms Epoxy Coatings
- More Scratch-Resistant
- Almost Three Times More Abrasion-Resistant
- Flexible
- Less Likely to Crack or Peel
- UV Stable
Engineered Siloxane are best for maximum chemical resistance and gloss finish and have four times the adhesion power of standard epoxys.
Benefits of Engineered Siloxane:
- Can be tinted and used as solid-color seal
- Outperforms Everything
- Most Scratch-Resistant
- UV Stable
- Maximum Chemical Resistance
