What it is

What quartz broadcast actually is.

Coloured quartz aggregate broadcast into an epoxy base, usually in two passes, then sealed. It builds thicker and harder than flake, gives real slip resistance rather than cosmetic texture, and takes wet traffic and washdown in a way a thin coating does not.

Where we are the right call

Locker rooms, showers, serveries and wet processing areas
School and institutional floors with constant foot traffic
Industrial areas needing build and slip resistance together
Any floor where a slip claim is the real risk being managed

Where we will tell you something else

Food production floors with hot washdown, which need urethane cement
Showrooms and feature spaces, where the texture is wrong
Areas that will be mopped by hand daily — the texture holds dirt

Specification

What it is rated for.

Build thickness	1/8″ as a double broadcast; heavier where impact is routine
Surface preparation	Shot blasting or diamond grinding to CSP 3–5
Slip resistance	Graded by area. This is the system chosen when slip performance is the requirement
Return to service	Foot traffic 10–14 hrs · full use 24–48 hrs
Chemical resistance	Good against cleaning chemistry, food acids and most industrial fluids
Repairability	Repairable in place — damaged sections can be cut out and rebuilt
Warranty	Written workmanship warranty, terms by system

How a commercial job runs

Four stages, and you know when you get the space back.

Stage 01

Site assessment

We walk the building, test the slab for moisture and dew point, review chemical exposure and agree the shutdown window. You get a written scope, not a number on a card.

On site, no obligation

Stage 02

Preparation

Diamond grinding or shot blasting to profile, crack and joint repair, and HEPA extraction so the rest of the building stays open.

Dust contained · CSP 2–3

Stage 03

Installation

Base coat, broadcast and topcoat, phased by bay or zone. Overnight and weekend work where production cannot stop.

Phased by zone

Stage 04

Return to service

Foot traffic the following morning, vehicles and racking the day after. Cold slabs cure slower and we tell you the real number.

Common questions

What people ask about this system.

How is it different from flake?

Quartz is harder, builds about four times thicker, and its texture is functional rather than decorative. Flake is chosen for how it looks and for hiding slab imperfection; quartz is chosen when somebody has decided the floor must not be slippery when it is wet.

How much of my building has to stop?

As little as we can engineer. Almost all of our commercial work is phased — one bay, one zone or one room at a time — so the whole facility is never down at once. We agree the sequence and the hand-back times at the walk-through and put them in the proposal, which means you can plan around a number rather than a promise.

How quickly can we use the floor again?

Foot traffic roughly 10 to 14 hours after the last coat, vehicles, racking and equipment after 24 to 48 hours, both at 70°F. A cold slab is slower and we will tell you the real figure for your building rather than the data-sheet one.

Do you work nights, weekends and shutdowns?

Yes, and on most commercial jobs that is how we prefer to run it. Off-shift work is normal scheduling for us rather than an exception we charge extra to accommodate. Holiday and summer shutdown windows are the easiest of all to plan against.

Can you install in winter?

In a heated interior, year-round — and winter is often the best time to book institutional and municipal work, because the building is quiet and our calendar is not competing with the summer rush. Polyaspartic systems install down to about 30°F with the slab 5°F above dew point. You may see −40°F claimed elsewhere in this industry; it is not supported by any manufacturer data sheet we work from.

The last coating failed. Why would this be different?

Nearly every failure we are called in to replace comes down to one of three things: the slab was acid etched or not prepared at all, nobody tested it for moisture, or the joints were coated over instead of being repaired. We grind or shot blast to a measured profile, we test and record moisture and dew point before anything goes down, and we treat joints as a separate detail.

What does a site assessment involve?

About an hour on site. We test the slab for moisture, look at the joints, the drains and the thresholds, ask what gets spilled on the floor and what cleans it, and talk through when the space can realistically be released. You get a written scope with a system recommendation and a phasing plan. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.

Next step

Book a site assessment.

We walk the building, test the slab, and put a written scope and a realistic shutdown plan in front of you. No obligation, and if the timing or the system is wrong for your space we will say so.
