Types of Flooring
Traffic Coatings

Usually these systems are comprised of a polyurethane water proof membrane and a non skid polyurethane topcoat. These coatings are commonly used in parking garages, and residential deck applications.
 
Micro Toppings

These floors are installed by spreading a thin layer of modified concrete over an existing concrete or wood surface. The finished product can then be scored and stained to provide a decorative look. This is my favorite type of flooring to install because I get to be creative, and the customers are always extremely happy with the finished result.
 
Epoxy Thin Mil System

Usually this system is installed in two or three coats using a pigmented epoxy sometimes with a chemically resistant urethane (CRU) topcoat.

 
Epoxy Laminate System

It is composed of several layers of epoxy with a decorative aggregate sandwiched in between. Some places this system is commonly used are kitchens, bathrooms, garages and pool decks.
