WHAT IS SAND BROADCAST?

The Workhorse of Industrial Epoxy Flooring.

Sand broadcast flooring is an industrial-grade coating system where fine silica sand is broadcast into wet epoxy, creating an aggressive non-slip texture that withstands the most punishing conditions. It's designed for environments where standard epoxy would be too smooth, too slippery, or too thin — auto repair shops, heavy equipment warehouses, manufacturing floors, and facilities where dropped tools, vehicle traffic, and chemical spills are daily realities.

Bear Bond installs sand broadcast systems across Sonoma County for auto shops, body shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and commercial warehouses. It's the least glamorous floor system we install and often the most important.

WHY BEAR BOND FOR SAND BROADCAST

Sand Boradcast Done The Right Way

Most flake epoxy failures come down to one thing: the contractor skipped diamond grinding. Here's how Bear Bond is different.

01

Right sand spec for your use case

Silica sand comes in multiple grades — from fine to coarse. We specify the right aggregate size for your environment's specific traction and durability requirements.

02

Full broadcast to rejection

We don't spot-broadcast. Sand is applied at full rejection across the entire floor, then the excess is swept back and a grout coat is applied to lock the aggregate in place permanently.

03

Chemical-resistant top seal

Auto shops and industrial facilities expose floors to oils, solvents, brake fluid, and battery acid. We seal every sand broadcast floor with a chemically resistant topcoat rated for your specific exposure profile.

04

Industrial prep on industrial floors

Industrial concrete is often contaminated with years of oil, grease, and embedded debris. We diamond grind and degrease aggressively before any coating goes down — ensuring the system bonds to clean concrete.

WHO IT'S FOR

Sand Broadcast Is The Right Choice for...

Automotive

Auto Repair & Body Shops

Oil, brake fluid, and constant vehicle traffic demand more than standard epoxy. Sand broadcast delivers chemical-resistant grip that holds up shift after shift — and cleans up in minutes.

Repair shops Body shops Detail bays

Industrial

Warehouses & Storage Facilities

Forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and dropped equipment need a floor with real grip and real impact resistance. Sand broadcast handles the daily punishment that destroys thinner coating systems in under 18 months.

Warehouses Storage Loading docks

Fleet & equipment

Fleet Maintenance & Dealerships

High-volume service environments need aggressive grip across large bays and the ability to handle multi-vehicle traffic and fluid spills without the surface breaking down.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is sand broadcast flooring slippery when wet?

No — that's exactly why it exists. The silica aggregate creates an aggressive texture that maintains grip even when wet with water, oil, or cleaning solution. It's specified for environments where slip-and-fall safety is a priority.

Can you install around lifts, pits, and equipment?

Yes. We work around vehicle lifts, alignment equipment, floor-mounted compressors, and other fixed infrastructure. Jose maps the layout during the estimate to plan the install sequence.

How do you handle a heavily oil-concentrated floor?

Heavy oil contamination requires degreasing followed by aggressive diamond grinding to remove embedded oil from the concrete pores. In extreme cases, we may specify an oil-tolerant primer system. We assess contamination levels during the site visit and price accordingly.

How long does an auto shop floor installation take?

Most single-bay or multi-bay shop installs are complete in 1–2 days. We schedule around your business hours — overnight and weekend installs are available to avoid disrupting your operation.

Does sand broadcast flooring work in outdoor areas?

Sand broadcast with UV-stable topcoats can work in covered outdoor areas. Fully exposed outdoor concrete has different thermal expansion characteristics — Jose will advise on suitability during the estimate.

How do I maintain a sand broadcast floor?

Sweep or blow out debris regularly. For oil spills, clean promptly with a degreaser and soft brush — the non-porous topcoat prevents oil from soaking into the concrete. Avoid pressure washing at high PSI, which can damage the texture over time.
