Five steps, measurable data

A process that is measured, not improvised

An epoxy floor lasts as long as its preparation does. So we test the concrete before giving a firm quote, show you a physical sample before installing, and put everything in writing.

The process

From site visit to handover

  1. Assess

    What happens

    We visit your space, take measurements and test the substrate: concrete moisture, pH, surface profile and ambient conditions. The assessment is free.

    What you get

    A clear diagnosis: whether the floor can be installed as is, what preparation it needs, and a confirmed price for your area.

    Technical data

    • Concrete moisture < 4% · ASTM F1869
    • pH ≥ 9
    • Surface profile CSP 2+ · ICRI 310.2R
    • Ambient 10–30 °C · RH < 50%
  2. Design

    What happens

    Together we choose the system (metallic marble, flake or solid color) and the finish, based on how the space is used and the light it gets.

    What you get

    A physical sample of the finish to look at in your own space before you decide, plus a PDF quote.

    Technical data

    • 31 metallic finishes · 15 flake · 7 solid colors
  3. Prepare

    What happens

    We mechanically grind or polish the surface with dust extraction, and repair cracks. This step decides the bond, and it is the one that shows over the years.

    What you get

    An open, clean, level surface ready for resin. Existing tile is assessed and prepared the same way.

    Technical data

    • Mechanical grinding to CSP 2+
    • Crack repair before the base coat

  4. Install

    What happens

    We apply the layers of the chosen system. Flake: epoxy base, full-broadcast flake, topcoat. Metallic: base, metallic pigment, veining. Solid: base and color.

    What you get

    A seamless floor with no joints or grout, installed with zero-VOC, virtually odorless materials.

    Technical data

    • Typical install: 3 to 5 business days
    • 100% solids epoxy · zero VOC

  5. Hand over

    What happens

    We walk the floor with you, point by point, and explain cure times before you use it.

    What you get

    Written care recommendations: cleaning with a mop and neutral soap, and what to avoid.

    Technical data

    • Foot traffic: 24 h
    • Vehicle traffic: 48 h

No surprises

What you get in writing

Before the installation is scheduled you have a document you can review at your own pace.
  • A PDF quote that includes the photo of your space.
  • Area measurements and the chosen system and finish.
  • Terms: preparation included, estimated timeline and cure times.
  • Payment: 50% deposit to schedule the installation, balance on handover.
  • At handover: care recommendations.

Warranty

What stands behind our work

We stand behind our work: application defects and adhesion failures of the system, provided the substrate was prepared to the manufacturer’s data sheet, which is exactly what we measure during the assessment.

What is covered

  • Application defects in the system.
  • Adhesion failure over a substrate prepared to the data sheet.

What is not

  • Damage from dragging sharp metal objects or from impacts.
  • Moisture or structural movement in the concrete after installation.
  • Using the floor before the stated cure times.

Questions about the process

Why do you test concrete moisture?
Because trapped moisture is the most common reason a coating lifts. We test using ASTM F1869 and look for under 4%. If the reading is higher, we tell you before installing and go over the options.
Can it go over existing tile?
In many cases, yes. We check that the tiles are sound, grind them mechanically to open the surface and fill the grout lines. You get a seamless floor without demolition.
How long does installation take?
Typically 3 to 5 business days, depending on area and weather. After that you can walk on it at 24 hours and park on it at 48 hours.
Do I need to leave the house during installation?
No. The materials are zero VOC and virtually odorless. We only need the work area clear of furniture and free of traffic until it cures.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit to schedule the installation and the balance on handover. We accept SINPE, bank transfer or cash.
