Ceramic Carpet vs Epoxy

[eriku19tex]

Whats up everyone,

I searched the forum but cant find anything on Ceramic Carpet. Seems like an alternative to a full broadcast/rejection epoxy system - similar idea, just an aggregate instead of flakes.

My Sherwin Williams friend said the cost was about $2sq ft, yet to get real pricing.

Anyone here have any experience using/installing this type of finish?

Hi,
What you are referring to is a 'quartz broadcast' floor. This is a built-up system of epoxy and quartz layers and then a protective topcoat. If SW is quoting you make sure that they quote at least 2-3 coats of topcoat, otherwise the surface will be like a giant sheet of sandpaper and very difficult, if not impossible, to clean.

We can also set this up using polyaspartic (less time/higher cost).

Actual cost of a system like this is about double due to the significant amount of material required. These floors are VERY durable and long-lasting, but often not used in residential garages due to the cost.

Please email us directly for more info, color charts, and a formal quote.

Double broadcast of quartz for best results. One will look sketchy.

It’s not popular in home garages because:
A. Expensive
B. Not enough traffic to warrant it, total overkill.

To further this point... our install company installs full-flake systems in small automotive garages.

Would this be something like a product I’ve seen used called stone hard?

It was resin, then broadcast, then resin, broadcast, resin. They would vacumn in between broadcast and resin to remove rock that didn’t adhere. Then after I think 3 or 4 stone coats they did about 5 layers of topcoat resin.

You might be confusing that with a recent male enhancement supplement.
