Quartz broadcast epoxy floor running down a facility corridor, installed by Liberty Epoxy

Quartz Epoxy · Philadelphia

Quartz epoxy floors, broadcast twice and built up thick.

Quartz is kiln dried sand. We broadcast it into wet epoxy, then do it again. Two full passes build a far thicker floor than a coating on its own, and that thickness is the point. It is what takes the abuse and gives the floor its wear life. The sand leaves a natural texture underfoot too. Wash bays, locker rooms, and plant floors are where it usually goes.

How it goes down

Two full passes, twice the build.

We grind the slab open, pour the epoxy, and broadcast quartz into it until it will not take any more. Then we do it again. The second pass is what makes the floor thick. A single broadcast cannot get near it.

Kiln dried quartz broadcast to refusal, twice, then locked in under the topcoat
Far thicker than a single broadcast, and the thickness is where the wear life comes from
Texture underfoot comes with the sand, so it is built in rather than added on top
Seamless and non-porous, with an integral coved base where the room calls for one
Scrubs down clean and takes hot water and the cleaners a wet room runs on
The color is in the sand itself, so the look holds as the floor wears
Extra non-slip additive available on top if you want more bite, never assumed
Installed nights, weekends, and in phases, so the building keeps running

Quartz two ways

One pass, or two.

One pass of quartz thrown into a solid color floor adds some build and some texture. It is priced by area and it lives as an option on the solid color epoxy page.

This page is the other one. Two complete passes, so a much thicker floor, more material and more labor. It is the answer when a room takes real abuse all day, or when the spec sheet in your hand already says double broadcast.

If you are not sure which of the two your room is asking for, tell us what happens on that floor and we will say which way we would spec it. That walkthrough is free, and it happens before anyone talks price.

Straight answers

Quartz epoxy, in plain terms.

What is the difference between a quartz broadcast and a full quartz floor?

Count the passes. One pass is an option on a solid color floor, priced by area. Two complete passes is a different install and a much thicker floor. Thickness is the difference that matters. If you are not sure which one your room needs, tell us what happens on that floor and we will spec it.

Is quartz the same as flake?

No. Flake is a vinyl chip, broadcast for looks and for hiding scuffs, and it sits mostly in the topcoat. Quartz is kiln dried sand, graded and colored, and it is broadcast to build the floor up thick. A quartz floor is heavier underfoot and rougher to the hand.

Do I need a quartz floor to get non-slip?

No. Non-slip additive goes into most of our commercial coatings if you want it, whatever the system, and it is always your choice. Quartz is not how you buy grip. Quartz is how you buy thickness, and the texture it leaves underfoot comes along with the sand.

Where does a high-build quartz floor usually go?

Wash bays, locker and shower rooms, commercial bathrooms, indoor pool rooms and natatoriums, and plant areas where coolant or washdown water collects. Those are the usual rooms rather than the only ones. Any of our systems can go in any of these rooms, and we spec off what the room does all day.

Do we have to shut the building down?

Usually not. Most of our commercial work runs at night, on weekends, or in phases by section. A double broadcast is more passes than a standard floor, so we walk the space first and build the schedule backward from the day you need the room in service.

Tell us how wet that room gets.
