I can't give you specific figures, you could contact Kerry directly for a number. I can say however that when you consider the repair/refurbishment of an epoxy floor coating in comparison over the life of the two finishes the polish is by far and away the better bargain. I suppose the best way...

One more pic up close.

The journey through hell looks to be near the end! Beginning in July 2004 we set about finishing the floor of our new garage. After hours of prep, checking for possible moisture isses and extensive consultation with the experts in self applied epoxy floor coatings we began the process of coating...

poly Can you point me to a distributor/retailer? I found one, but they want to sell it in case quantities. Thanks!

Poly coating. Please provide some information on the polyurethane coating. What did you use, how did you apply it and what is the expected wear? I put down a vct floor in my workshop last spring and have been messing around with different polishes trying to get something that gives the gloss...

My wife and I spent in excess of 20 hours prepping the floor per directions. We had the same situation where a several areas would bead up regardless of what we did. We cleaned, scrubbed, acid etched, used several solvents per thier advice over the phone and were told to go ahead. As indicated...

That is a polished finish. A grinder is utilized which has diamond cutters and the floors are then polished. The Lowes type floor is supposed to be near 400 grit, they can polish to 1500. A densifier is added to the concrete. It sounds as though cost is near that of having epoxy coating appplied.

Fill the joints with epoxy or a concrete patch material and tile over them.

FWIW I had mine taped down for over a week and saw nothing. I utilized clear plastic so that I could see it without taking it up. Despite this and the manufacturer puttin g the floor down for me I have blistering. Caveat emptor. If in doubt have it polished!

Thank you for the comments/suggestions. I am told that the epoxy should be good to approx. 19psi. Oh, and yes there is a vapor barrier, thus my confusion. It is not as though I am living on top of a swamp, we are on pretty hard clay. Thanks again.

Yes, I would like to retain as smooth of a finish as possible. What does the shot blaster leave behind? It seems as though the installer now believes the culprit is hydrostatic pressure as there are the bubbles with moisture underneath. Of course they firmly believed this was not an issue to...

Do you have suggestions as to the "equipment" to utilize...I really do not relish the thought of a body grinder...! I can't imagine a large orbital sander doing much?? I have heard tell of the shot blasting machines, but imagine that the epoxy surface would be fairly impervious to such. A...

I am looking for advice/suggestions as to removal of epoxy coating. Floor blistered despite passing the "moisture test" prior to professional installation. In that my options for flooring will be limited after removal, I am concerned about the condtion of the floor after removal. Thanks in...

Check out the flight magazines. The polished floors are popular in the airplane hangers.

I have 200 sq ft of the Kiwi tile in Black and Grey. We used it 1x for a display at the PRI show a few years back and it has been boxed since. I have a friend has the same thing in his shop. The grey gives you the checkerboard effect without the hassle of white. If you are interested in the 200...

Make sure you check for hydraulic moisture issues before painting. If there is not a vapor barrier under the concrete the paint will lift regardless of how well you prep it.

Make certain you have no less than a phase II enviro study done. It may be that such has already been completed.
