At WCCC, we pride ourselves in making sure that every project gets the proper meticulous preparation that allows our coatings to withstand the hand of time. Although our coatings consist of high quality ingredients, polyurea composition isn't the only reason why our product last so long and looks so great.
The key is the thorough and fastidious care taken in the application process that assures the beauty and longevity of our concrete coatings.
​
Step 1 – Surface Preparation
To ensure a proper bond, the concrete floor must first be prepared. We use diamond grinders with integrated vacuum systems to ensure a perfectly smooth surface that is free of dust and debris and ready for a fresh new coating.
​
Step 2 – Concrete Reconstruction
One of the best features of our concrete coating is that it can essentially repair an old, cracked concrete slab. That’s because we use menders and fillers to repair cracks and spalls in the existing floor before ever applying any coating.
​
Step 3 – Base Coat
The first coat of self-priming polyurea is applied. This coat serves to bond the base coat securely to the floor, ensuring that it won’t ever peel up, even if it is exposed to intense pressure, drastic temperature changes, or even corrosive chemicals.
​
Step 4 – Broadcasting the Chips
Immediately after the base coat is applied, we scatter multi-colored vinyl chips across the floor by hand. This serves to provide texture to the floor and creates a gorgeous mosaic. We offer countless color combos to choose from, so you can create the perfect look for your concrete floor.
​
Step 5 – Scraping the Chips
In order to remove any imperfections, we scrape off the loose flakes after the base coat has cured. Afterwards, we vacuum the floor to prepare it for the final coat.
​
Step 6 – Clear Coat
This final clear layer of polyurea serves as armor to protect the floor against natural wear and tear such as scuffs, sharp impacts, and chemical spills. Once this layer has been applied, it is fully cured and ready for minor foot traffic within 4-6 hours and can return to full use within 24 hours.
