Quartz Epoxy Flooring

Quartz epoxy flooring is a high-performance system where colored quartz granules are broadcast into a thick epoxy base coat, creating a dense, slip-resistant, decorative surface. Unlike flake systems where vinyl chips sit on top of the coating, quartz granules are embedded into the epoxy itself — creating a surface that's as tough as it is beautiful.

The quartz granules are kiln-dried, color-stable, and available in a wide range of natural and custom colors. When broadcast to full rejection, the floor takes on a rich, terrazzo-like appearance with a subtle texture that provides excellent slip resistance.

Quartz epoxy is the go-to choice for commercial applications where slip resistance, chemical resistance, and durability are critical — but it's also become increasingly popular in residential garages where homeowners want a floor that's tougher than standard flake systems.

Surface Profile: Quartz creates a textured, slightly rough surface. Flake creates a smoother, more decorative surface.

Durability: Quartz is significantly harder and more abrasion-resistant due to the embedded quartz granules. Flake is durable but the vinyl chips can scratch over time.

Slip Resistance: Quartz offers superior slip resistance, especially when wet. Flake provides moderate slip resistance from the chip texture.

Cost: Quartz systems typically run $8–$12 per sq. ft. Flake systems run $6–$9 per sq. ft.

Best Use: Quartz is ideal for commercial kitchens, auto shops, wet areas, and high-traffic commercial spaces. Flake is ideal for residential garages, showrooms, and light commercial.

Which should you choose? If you need maximum durability and slip resistance, go with quartz. If appearance and decorative options are your priority, flake is the better choice.

1. Concrete Preparation: Diamond grinding with HEPA dust extraction to profile the concrete surface. All cracks and joints are repaired.

2. Moisture Testing: We test the slab using ASTM F2170 probes to ensure moisture levels are safe for coating.

3. Primer Application: A penetrating epoxy primer seals the concrete and blocks moisture vapor transmission.

4. Quartz Broadcast: A thick epoxy base coat is applied and colored quartz granules are broadcast to full rejection. The quartz is hand-troweled to ensure complete coverage.

5. Grout Coat: A second thin epoxy coat seals the quartz and fills any gaps between granules, creating a smooth, monolithic surface.

6. Topcoat: A clear UV-stable polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane topcoat seals the system, providing a high-gloss finish and maximum chemical resistance.

7. Final Inspection: We review the floor with you and provide detailed care instructions.

How much does quartz epoxy flooring cost in Tampa Bay? Quartz systems typically range from $8–$12 per square foot installed, depending on the quartz blend, coverage level, and whether a UV-stable topcoat is required. We provide free, itemized estimates.

Is quartz epoxy flooring slippery when wet? No — quartz epoxy is one of the most slip-resistant flooring systems available. The quartz granules create a natural texture that provides excellent traction even when wet.

Can quartz epoxy be installed in commercial kitchens? Yes — quartz epoxy meets USDA and FDA requirements for food preparation areas. It's chemical-resistant, non-porous, and easy to sanitize.

How long does quartz epoxy flooring last? With proper installation and maintenance, quartz epoxy floors typically last 15–20 years. The quartz granules are color-stable and won't fade or degrade over time.

Can I customize the quartz color blend? Absolutely. We can create custom quartz blends to match your brand colors, home aesthetic, or any design requirement.
