Epoxy Flake:  is a decorative seamless flooring systems which combines acrylic chips in the epoxy flooring system. The flakes are totally dispersed in the epoxy system and then a clear coat is applied to the surface to complete the seamless flooring system. This system requires minimum maintenance. Full flake epoxy provides an extremely durable flooring surface, even for the highest traffic areas. The full flake system can be installed in almost unlimited combination of colors. To make the selection of color easier we offer several standard color combinations. We also offer a variety of slip resistant textures to match what ever your need is.

 Epoxy Quartz: is a decorative seamless floor system which combines colored quartz sands in the epoxy flooring system. The quartz granules are totally dispersed in the epoxy system and then a clear coat is applied to the surface to complete the seamless flooring system. The colored quartz granules can be combined in an almost endless combination of colors, although to make the selection easier we offer several standard color combinations. The surface texture can be applied in a variety of textures to match your slip resistant needs. The quartz flooring system is a decorative, durable system that has good chemical resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. This flooring system is ideal for wet areas, due to its ability have the system installed with increased surface texture and increase its slip resistance.

Surface Preparation:

All of us at C.T.C. Inc. take great pride in our installation and always want to do what's best for our customers. That's why unlike most of our competition in residential epoxy flooring systems we shotblast all of our concrete floors during the concrete preparation for the epoxy application. Shotblasting is the concrete industry proven method for surface preparation. Shotblasting is a dust-free operation that removes the top layer of concrete (laitance) and curing compounds and opens the pores of the  concrete. This allows the coatings to penetrate and weld themselves into the concrete. Some of our competitors use muratic acid or hand (diamond) grinding the concrete for surface preparation. Acid etching and grinding a floor can create several potential problems. The main concerns are the possibilities of sealing the pores of the concrete by grinding it too smooth, this can cause a poor bond of the flooring system and the possibility of system failure. Another concern with grinding is that it can cause a very dusty situation. This not only causes an environmental problem, but can also cause a health issue. That is why we perform all our grinding with vacuum attachments to minimize dust. Acid etching will not remove any sealers from the concrete and if the installer is not very careful during cleanup, they can leave residue on the concrete surface. Both of these conditions will cause a poor bond with the surface. These preparation methods, grinding and acid etching are an inadequate way to profile the concrete surface and can result in a high degree of coating failure.
