Epoxy Quartz System for Industrial & Commercial Flooring

What is Quartz System?

The Quartz System in epoxy flooring combines the durability of epoxy resin with decorative quartz granules, resulting in a highly resilient and visually appealing floor. This system involves broadcasting colored quartz particles onto a freshly applied epoxy base coat. Once cured, excess quartz is removed, and a clear topcoat seals the floor. The result is a textured, slip-resistant surface that’s not only incredibly strong and resistant to abrasions but also adds a touch of sophistication to any space.

Main Uses and Scenarios

The Quartz System is a versatile choice for spaces requiring both durability and aesthetics. It’s frequently utilized in commercial kitchens, laboratories, and healthcare facilities, where cleanliness, slip resistance, and durability are essential. The textured surface makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to spills, as it provides traction even when wet. Moreover, its customizable color options make it suitable for a range of settings, from industrial warehouses to upscale retail stores.

Real-life Examples

A busy restaurant kitchen, where the floor is exposed to constant foot traffic and food spills, utilized the Quartz System with a light gray quartz blend. This not only enhanced the safety of the kitchen but also contributed to a cleaner and more organized workspace. In another scenario, a pharmaceutical laboratory seeking a sterile environment chose a white quartz system to create a bright and clean flooring solution that met strict regulatory requirements. Furthermore, an automotive showroom used a black and red quartz system to create a visually striking and durable floor that complemented the aesthetic of the displayed vehicles, demonstrating that the Quartz System’s versatility extends to even luxury showrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Quartz System suitable for outdoor applications or is it mainly for indoor use?

The Quartz System is primarily designed for indoor use, as outdoor exposure to UV rays and weather conditions can lead to color fading over time. However, it can be used in covered outdoor areas or with the application of UV-resistant topcoats for added protection against sunlight.

How does the Quartz System compare to other textured epoxy systems like the Flakes System in terms of appearance and functionality?

While both the Quartz and Flakes Systems offer textured surfaces, they differ in appearance and application. The Quartz System creates a speckled appearance with small, uniform quartz particles and is known for its high slip resistance. In contrast, the Flakes System features larger, decorative flakes that provide a unique, multi-hued appearance with added texture.

Can I choose the color and size of the quartz particles in the Quartz System?

Yes, the Quartz System is customizable in terms of color and quartz particle size. You can select from a variety of colors to match your design preferences, and the size of the quartz particles can be adjusted to achieve the desired texture and slip resistance.

How do I maintain and clean a floor with the Quartz System?

Maintenance for a quartz epoxy floor is relatively simple. Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris, combined with occasional damp mopping using a neutral cleaner, will keep the floor looking clean and slip-resistant. Due to its textured nature, it’s important to ensure that no debris becomes embedded in the surface, so prompt cleaning of spills or dirt is advisable.
