Quartz
Double-broadcast colored quartz sand — the toughest, most slip-resistant system we install. Built for wet and commercial duty.
What it is
Quartz systems are the heavy-duty workhorses of the resinous flooring world. Instead of vinyl flake, we broadcast kiln-dried, color-coated quartz sand into the coating — then do it again. The double-broadcast build creates a floor roughly twice as thick as a standard flake system, with ceramic-like hardness and the best slip resistance of anything we install.
Where flake floors are chosen for looks first and toughness second, quartz flips the priority. The granular texture grips shoes even when the floor is soaked, soapy, or greasy, which is why quartz is the specified system for commercial kitchens, locker rooms, pool decks, veterinary clinics, kennels, breweries, and public restrooms. It still looks sharp — blended quartz colors give a clean, uniform, salt-and-pepper appearance — but it is fundamentally a performance floor.
In residential settings, quartz shines outdoors and in wet areas: pool surrounds, lanais, outdoor kitchens, and steps. With a polyaspartic or urethane topcoat it is fully UV-stable and handles Florida sun and afternoon storms without fading, peeling, or getting slick.
Where it's best
- Pool decks, lanais, and outdoor living areas
- Commercial kitchens, breweries, and wash-down areas
- Kennels, veterinary clinics, and locker rooms
- Stairs, ramps, and anywhere slip resistance is critical
How we install it
Quartz goes down in four stages, always in this order, and each one gets the cure time the manufacturer specifies rather than the time a schedule would prefer. Compressing or skipping a stage is the single most common reason a coating fails early, so the sequence below is the job — not a summary of it.
-
Grind and repair
Diamond grinding and substrate repair, with extra attention to drainage slopes and cove details in wet areas.
-
First broadcast
A pigmented body coat is applied and colored quartz is broadcast to rejection, then allowed to set.
-
Second broadcast
A second resin coat and quartz broadcast doubles the thickness and evens the texture.
-
Grout and topcoat
A grout coat locks the aggregate, then a UV-stable topcoat seals the system at the slip-resistance level the space demands.
