Retail Floor Before An After...

Before Polyaspartic Coating

Wow - After Polyaspartic Coating

A Wow Retail Weekend Project

The Lone Star Auto Auction is a busy marketplace for buying and selling cars. The facility had been previously used for a couple of decades by a shipping company and then subsequently used for auto auctions. 

The inherited concrete slab was heavily gouged, scarred and cracked, a flooring problem the owners wanted fixed.

For busy retail spaces, downtime for the facility means lost revenue. The auction’s owners needed a fast turnaround, decorative flooring solution to minimise operational loss.

Extreme Epoxy was the SPARTACOTE® polyaspartic contractor on the job. They went in on Friday night after hours to prepare the floor to accept the polyaspartic coating. First, they repaired all cracks and spalls using SPARTACOTE FAST-FIX concrete repair material. They then cleaned and filled all joints with SPARTACOTE JOINT-FLEX 75 concrete joint filler. Next, they brought in a large diamond grinder to grind the slab to a concrete surface profile of 3 (CSP-3) in order to accept the SPARTACOTE polyaspartic coating.

On Saturday morning, the crew installed two coats of polyaspartic SPARTACOTE SPARTA-FLEX™ Grey, followed by two coats of red and two coats of blue.

On Sunday, the installer applied two coats of yellow stripes, two coats of white stripes, and a SPARTACOTE SPARTA-FLEX™ clear coat with 60 grit traction additive spanning the floor

The project was completed on Sunday afternoon, quickly returning the floor to service over the weekend. A similar epoxy system would have taken substantially longer and cost the owner of the Lone Star Auto Auction valuable downtime.

The Lone Star Auto Auction opened for business on the Monday following the weekend installation.
