Would this be more durable than regular full flake, or just prettier? It seems every flooring company has a disclaimer for heavy use or spills - is porcelain the most durable in the end?

Yes, a full broadcast quartz floor is more durable than full broadcast flake. For the ultimate in durability in a seamless coating system go with a double broadcast quartz floor.

A double broadcast quartz floor is most definitely a top of the line floor. Thickness is about 125 mils and they are naturally nonskid and super heavy duty. Most people don't use them due to the cost and time to install. They use a lot of materials and are normally 7 layers thick (primer, epoxy, quartz, epoxy, quartz, topcoat, topcoat) if done properly.

The other thing is that in the unlikely event they get damaged, they are very easy to repair since you would keep some left over quartz around so a small patch is just clear epoxy and the quartz.

Please contact us directly at below (not PM please) if you would like a quote or further info.

We can build a system with or without quartz that will stand up to heavy use no problem. That does not mean its bullet proof or that you can leave brake cleaner on it indefinitely. If we know how you are using the floor we can put a system together to match

Quartz floors due to their thickness (about 125 mils) are more resistant to chipping from heavy dropped items.

A quartz-like floor can also be achieved with using sand instead of quartz for less money but it will be a solid color and not the mixed quartz colors like many desire.

Generally speaking any floor with aggregate in it of some type will be more durable then without aggregate.
