The best way to protect your concrete floors in high-traffic places, especially if there is already pre-existing damage, is to use epoxy floor systems. An epoxy broadcast system is an easy and effective way of creating an attractive, easy-to-maintain surface for your concrete floors, especially in warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, retailers, airplane hangars, and other large, heavily trafficked places.
The system itself consists of a primer coat, a high-build coat, and a topcoat on top of the concrete substrate. The primer and high-build coats are typically epoxy solutions, while the topcoat tends to be a polyurethane sealer. The process, while important to proactively protecting your concrete floors, is also a great option for restoring and repairing prior damage marring the surfaces. If you have rough floors, you should use a high-build solution (typically 18-36 mils) that will hide track marks, spalls, and other concrete imperfections.
If you want to brighten your concrete, you can use an epoxy broadcast system to restore color to your floors. Similarly, the epoxy broadcast system can be used to seal paint chips or decorative quartz to create either a specific shape (i.e. an arrow in a parking garage) or a general covering of color or quartz. The paint chips or decorative quartz will be sealed with the high-build coating, under the polyurethane topcoat. This ensures that the color and form of your floors will remain high-quality and bright.
A high build epoxy floor system is a great option for repairing, protecting, and preserving your heavily trafficked concrete floors. The system consists of a basecoat Epoxy Max 100, a high-build coat (2nd coat of Epoxy Max 100), and a topcoat Armor-Tek 830. All of these materials will combine to create a surface that is both visually appealing and functional, ensuring your floor remains protected.
