Nothing looks better ! What are Flake Floor Systems ? Be assured they are definitely not all the same. Basically coloured flakes are imbedded into the floor coatings creating a wide variety of attractive floor finishes. This is where in most cases the similarity ends. Many coating companies purchase flakes and then seek out different types of cheap Epoxy sealers and paint based products in order to compete by producing a cheaper application than what is preferable and nowhere near as serviceable as Polyurea & Polyaspartic. Some epoxy coatings are fine products but one must bear in mind that iCOAT Polyurea & Polyaspartic coatings are 98% more flexible and up to 4 times stronger and harder. Plus Polyurea & Polyaspartic when applied correctly penetrates the concrete and adheres better than any other coating in today’s market, so hot tire lift is eliminated. Epoxy is purely a topical coating and needs…

Do you like the look of polished concrete but not sure which way to go. You can have the same look with an alternate process. Polished concrete is a long process involving many hours including more than ten grinding and polishing stages using various grades of grit and the application of a densifier and a stain guard sealer. Chemical densifiers are applied to both polished and non-polished concrete floors to try and seal them against liquids and reduce dusting. In a nutshell a concrete densifier is a chemical hardener which acts as a pore filler. Polished concrete takes 2-3 days depending on the size of the floor or the area of concrete to be polished. Polished concrete if done properly with no quality shortcuts is not only time consuming but costly. With a Diamond coat system from iCOAT you can achieve a similar look with the added benefit of 100%…
• The concrete floor is inspected and checked for faults such as concrete laitance, chips, and cracks as well as hardness and moisture level. • When any repairs and or adjustments necessary are completed the surface is dry Diamond Ground. During this process, a super-strong vacuum system ensures a minimum amount of dust escapes. • Once the floor is through vacuumed of concrete dust a Polyurea primer basecoat coat is applied with the appropriate colour tint for the required finish. • This is followed by the decorative chip. • Then the top coat and non-slip additive if required. • Finally we depart with the area looking much better than when we arrived. • Plus…we leave NO MESS This is a basic look at how the process works, there are slight variations depending on which system is chosen.
