Completed Braman BMW garage floor

Braman BMW in Miami Florida is a high volume exotic car dealer. When their second floor parking garage (where they wash all the cars prior to being sold) had issues leaking into their bottom floor they knew they needed to do something fast!

Nucrete Surgeons of Florida, came to their rescue. They removed the existing epoxy floor, waterproofed, and put a durable LATICRETE SPARTACOTE® Blended Quartz™ concrete coating on top of it. The highly durable, coloured quartz aggregates are layered between SPARTACOTE FLEX™ coatings to create an attractive textured floor perfect for this high-end dealership. The prep took some time, about 7 days to get it removed and waterproofed, but SPARTACOTE was installed in just 1 day!

The General Manager said this car wash area generates $160k USD per day - so LATICRETE products turned what would have been a 4 day epoxy quartz installation plus 2 day cure into just a 1 day SPARTACOTE Blended Quartz installation with next day return to service. This saved approximately $800k in down time!

SPARTACOTE® Parking Structure Renovation

SPARTACOTE Quartz Concrete Coatings gray base coat

Concrete Coating Made Easy!

A parking structure in Guadalara, Mexico, was in need of a restoration. The parking area, owned by Dalton Corporation, is part of a garage deck adjacent to a mixed-use apartment complex/office complex in which the company has its headquarters, as well as high end residential real estate. The project was approximately 6000m2 and the chosen concrete coating system was SPARTACOTE® Flex with SPARTACOTE Quartz™. 

The first coat applied was a grey base coat with quartz additive, then 2 more coats of grey. The crew also had to paint over the cove base and up approximately 10cm of the walls, traffic arrows, and handicap spaces. In addition, they had to coat highly corrugated concrete on ramps.

This was a very difficult installation. The concrete was in poor condition and needed much surface preparation (i.e. not level and many cracks) and the contractor was only allowed to work during the day.

Although the conditions proved to be difficult, the first-time SPARTACOTE installers, Grupo Delcosa, completed the project, resulting in a great looking concrete floor.
