Understanding the Sand Broadcast Floor System
The Foundation of Unyielding Strength and Safety
A sand broadcast floor, also known as a quartz floor, is a high-performance resinous flooring system created by layering epoxy and broadcasting specialized quartz sand aggregate. The process begins with applying a thick, self-leveling epoxy base coat to a prepared concrete substrate. While this base coat is still wet, quartz sand is broadcast across the entire surface until the epoxy is fully saturated and can’t absorb any more, a technique called ‘broadcasting to rejection’.
Once the base layer cures, any loose, excess sand is swept away, and the system is sealed with one or more high-performance top coats. This method results in a seamless, monolithic floor that is incredibly robust, highly textured, and tightly bonded to the concrete. The final surface offers a unique combination of extreme durability, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making it one of the most reliable flooring solutions available for demanding environments.
More Than Just a Floor, It’s a Long-Term Investment
The primary advantage of a sand broadcast system is its exceptional durability and impact resistance. The embedded quartz aggregate creates a reinforced surface that can easily withstand heavy forklift traffic, dropped tools, constant foot traffic, and extreme abrasion without chipping, cracking, or delaminating. This resilience makes it a cost-effective, long-term solution that significantly outlasts traditional flooring options like tile or VCT.
Safety and hygiene are also paramount benefits. The textured surface provides a high coefficient of friction, creating a reliable non-slip floor that is crucial in areas prone to moisture, grease, or spills. Furthermore, the seamless, non-porous finish eliminates grout lines and cracks where bacteria, mold, and dirt can accumulate. This makes the floor remarkably easy to clean, sanitize, and maintain, promoting a healthier environment.
A Meticulous Approach for Flawless Results
Our process begins with meticulous surface preparation, the most critical step for a lasting bond. We utilize industrial-grade diamond grinders to profile the concrete, removing any existing coatings, contaminants, and weak top layers. This creates a clean, porous surface with the ideal texture for the epoxy primer to penetrate and anchor into, guaranteeing superior adhesion and preventing future failures.
Next, we apply a pigmented epoxy primer and base coat, carefully gauging the thickness to meet your facility’s specific needs. While the base coat is wet, we broadcast the quartz sand aggregate across the entire floor to the point of rejection. This ensures a uniform, densely packed layer of sand that provides the system’s core strength and texture.
After the epoxy has fully cured, we meticulously sweep and vacuum all loose sand from the surface. The system is then sealed with one or two grout and top coats, typically a UV-stable and chemical-resistant polyaspartic or urethane. This final step encapsulates the sand, provides the floor’s final color and sheen, and creates an impermeable barrier that is easy to clean and resistant to chemicals and stains.
