Trade Epoxy Systems
Flooring Systems
A system is a stack of decisions: what goes on the slab, how thick, in what order, and what it can survive once it cures. Each page here sets out one system layer by layer, with the prep it needs, the tools that size it, and the ways it fails when a layer is wrong.
Full Broadcast Flake System
A resin base coat, vinyl flake thrown into it until the surface will take no more, then a clear topcoat over the top. This is what each layer is for, what the system asks of the concrete underneath it, and the honest account of where it wins and where it does not belong.
Metallic Epoxy System
A pigmented resin coat carrying metallic particles, moved while it is wet so the pigment separates into depth and movement, then locked under a clear topcoat. This is what the layers do, what the slab has to be, and why the least repeatable floor on the market is sometimes exactly the right answer and sometimes the wrong one.
Polyaspartic One-Day System
The whole stack goes down in a single session, which is why it gets specified for buildings that cannot close. The same short windows that make that possible remove every pause in the day, so nothing can be checked between coats and nothing can be fixed. This is what that trade actually costs.
Self-Leveling Epoxy System
The material levels itself. It does not level your floor. That distinction decides whether this is the right specification or an expensive way to reproduce every dip in the slab, and it is the first thing to settle with a client who has read the name and drawn the obvious conclusion.
Solid Color Epoxy System
The simplest build in the library and the hardest one to make look right. Every other system has a broadcast or a pattern to hide behind. This one gives the eye a uniform field, so the slab, the mixing, the application, the repairs and the wear all have something to be measured against.
