Epoxy flooring

[cudajoe]

Hi, I'm new here, and was told by a guy from a boating forum that some people on here would be interested in our epoxy flooring. I posted some pictures of the job we are doing now on the boating forum. I've been a ceramic tile contrator for 24 years, and have been doing the epoxy flooring for about eight years. Take it from me, the epoxy flooring is a 100% improvement over, say quarry tile.

We are doing epoxy flooring in a county park in Florida. Here are some pictures of the project. We did 2400 square feet of floor, and 670 lineal feet of eight inch base.

The droplight on the floor is to help see any high spot that need to be troweled down.

This is what the finished product looks like with one coat of hi-gloss sealer on it. It's a one day application, with a second day if sealer is wanted. The sealer is not required, but HIGHLY reccomended.

Here is some information on our epoxy flooring.

Absolut Tile Inc Epoxy Flooring
Our Seamless Flooring System covering is a 100% solid epoxy and natural marble compound, which comes in pre-measured kit form. It is mixed, poured out and troweled down into a completely monolithic slab, giving you a lightweight, flexible long lasting/durable, easy to clean, non-porous, chemical and fire resistant seamless flooring system.
With no volatile organic compounds, the poured epoxy flooring is environmentally safe, user friendly and easy to apply. There is no objectionable odor during application: Foodstuffs in restaurants or manufacturing plants do not need to be removed, and respirators do not need to be worn by installers. Special ventilation requirements are not necessary. People can continue to work in adjacent areas with out any inconvenience.
Cost savings are significant. With One-Step seamless poured epoxy flooring , you can in most cases eliminate costly rip-out of the existing floor. It can be applied over it your existing linoleum, ceramic or quarry tile, metal, wood, concrete, VCT, VAT and sheet vinyl. Our seamless epoxy flooring can also be installed on vertical surfaces such as steps, walls, or fountains. Simply sweep the existing floor, clean to remove surface dirt and grease, then mix, pour out and trowel down the floor system - in a one-step application. A clear sealer coat is optional. The seamless epoxy flooring does not require a primer or bond coat due to its resin rich formulation. Ready to use within 24 hours, it will outlast other types of epoxy flooring systems.
Our One-Step seamless epoxy flooring can help reduce your slip and fall accidents. Our epoxy flooring is impervious to moisture, and provides a slip resistant surface, even when wet. Up to 85% of workman's compensation claims are attributed to employees slipping on slick floors. The National Safety Council estimates that the compensation and medical costs associated with employee slip and fall accidents is about $70 billion annually.
Our supplier has manufactured and installed the Epoxy One-Step Seamless Flooring System and resinous flooring systems since 1977. During this period, supplied our U.S. Government, industrial, and commercial flooring customers with the most advanced epoxy floor covering available. They are a the prime supplier of epoxy flooring to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard due the excellent overall properties of our product versus competitive brands. Our product has become commonplace in many commercial establishments such as Food Lion, McDonald's, Hardee's, Burger King in addition to military ships, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, vet clinics, industrial plants, dairies, bakeries and shopping malls.

No floor prep like grinding or shot blasting required? Is Florida the only state you are located in?

Cheers!

I've seen this stuff before. Looks cool. Doing a garage floor would be tough as it looks like it takes a while to apply.

These guys sell something similiar although I cannot find it on their website:

As long as the floor is sound and grease free, no prep is required. I can call the manufactorer and ask them if they have a certified installer near you.

It can be applied in one day easily, and sealed the next day.

What I mean is you have to trowel it, right? That can't be "quick" unless you're a master. Rolling epoxy goes fairly quickly.

Looks like you guys worked up a sweat in the picts!

I had two guys troweling it down faster than I could mix it, and I've got a good system for mixing it. They were doing 240 square feet in 50 minutes!

It was about 90 degrees, and very humid while we were putting that down. We found the trick is to get the new batch down before the one before it sets up at all, it makes it look like one big pour. I was mixing my old azz off!

Please do check for any installers in the Delaware area. You can post a reply here please.
Thanks!

I would also be interested to see if there is anyone in the St. Louis, MO area.

Approx. cost per sq ft??? I have about 750 sq ft.

 

[cudajoe]

I'll check for both of you. I hate to make a quote for somebody else. I'll try to get some phone numbers for installers in your areas.

That would be great! Note I am in MA, although close to southern NH as well.

Better late than never. The main receptionist was on vacation in Mexico when I asked before about an installer in your area. I called her again today, and here's the reply she sent me via email.:

hey...in St. Louis, I strongly recommend Tom Marciano.. 3146057560 Tell him i told you to call, he'll treat you good.

Hey cudajoe I know you said you don't want to quote others prices but (ballpark) what do you charge per sq? I would have to go through a different company(i'm in VA) but I would like a ballpark figure first. I really like the look of this stuff.

And if used in a garage any problems with "hot tire pickup"?

Thanks

 

[cudajoe]

Virginia is where the product is made. I'm sure they have some installers there.
