Q. How much does this system cost? Depends on the required preparation, and meterage of area/s to be coated.
Q. What is the system made up of? Solvent free epoxies, acrylic flakes and UV protective non-yellowing finishing coats.
Q. How thick is the finished product? No more than up to 2.5 mm thick. E.g. four coats of a good quality paint.
Q. What advantages are there to using this system? Long lasting Low maintenance cleaning Decorative Will not harbour bacteria Antistatic seamless Competitive in price to a lot of surface coatings Won’t crack / chip or peel
Q. Where is it used / applied? Any flat surface, including ceiling / walls / floors.
Q. Who would use these products and systems? Hotels Hospitals Schools / colleges / universities Butcher shops Food preparation areas Aged care facilities Clubs / sporting / RSL's Shopping Malls / Centres Councils State Government Institutions
Q. Is it a safety floor / non-slip? Yes. In cases where the surfaces require slip resistance a non slip additive is added to the top coats. Our stonegrip system has a R10/R12 slip rating for commercial applications and wet areas. The system must be followed exactly to conform to these ratings.
Q. How long does it take to apply the total system? Depending on the preparation time, approximately 2-3 days. The system must be traffic free (foot) for no less than 24 hours after final coat, and, 5-7 days of vehicular traffic depending on weather conditions.
Q. Why does it take so long to apply? The Seamless Flake Epoxy System is made for long term durability which must be applied with several coatings. These coatings must be dry between each coat.
Q. Is it easy to clean? Very mild detergents and warm water is usually enough to clean this system. Mops are not recommended for use as they leave a "dirty film" over the surface. Sponge mops or stiff brooms and water or cleaning machines are all recommended.
Q. How strong is this system? This floor system is very strong. Trucks / 4WD’s / fork lifts / etc run over the surfaces with ease and do not damage it at all.
Q. Where would I use it domestically? The areas are infinitesimal! Some examples are: External: Around swimming pools Driveways Garages Any area outside you would like dressed up.
Internal: Throughout the whole home on floors / walls Showers Toilets Bathrooms Laundries Rumpus rooms Bench tops Renewing that old kitchen laminex bench
These are some of the areas the system has been successfully applied to already.
Special requirements: This system is good for families that have children or adults with Asthma or allergies to things like carpets and mites in such products. |
