Bar/Restaurant Concrete Floor

[rossaj]

I need advice! I just purchased a bar in Midwest Ohio. Look to do some renovations and on of those being painting or coating the bare 1500sqft concrete floor located in our patio area (covered from sunlight). This will incur heavy foot traffic, sliding of bar stools and metal tables. We also have a swim-up pool bar in summer so this will also need to be non-slip. This concrete is bare and about 15 years old so there is some discoloration. Minimal prep work is preferred. Looking at Rust Bullet with clear and Tread Trex, Rustoleum Epoxy Sheild or Rocksolid, or Slipdoctors Dura Grip.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, congrats on your new bar!

If you look through the various threads here, most anything sold at a home center would not be the same quality as sold by us, or other vendors who participate on GJ. Home center epoxies won't give you the mil thickness that you need.

A 100% solids epoxy system with decorative flecks or (better but more expensive) decorative quartz epoxy system. We carry both of these. With the kind of traffic you are advising of, especially the sliding of the metal stools they can be brutal on a floor and much worse than the heaviest of vehicles.

The best choice would be a Urethan Mortar which are very moisture tolerant which we also carry with a quartz broadcast but these are very expensive in the $6-$7.00/sq ft range just for materials.

A 100% solids three layer (primer/epoxy/topcoat) epoxy floor would be in the $1.50 or so range.

Feel free to contact our Tech Dept at below (not PM please) for more info and pricing.
