Hidden
Are you a professional installation company?
No. We are a premier supplier and distributor of high-performance concrete coating products. We provide professional-grade materials, tools, and technical expertise to experienced installation contractors.
Do you sell products to the general public?
No, we do not. To ensure maximum safety and performance, our industrial-grade products are available exclusively to trained, professional contractors.
What brands do you carry?
We stock a curated selection of industry-leading brands known for their reliability and performance. This includes a full range of epoxies, urethanes, and specialized moisture vapor barriers.
Can you help me calculate how much product I need for my project?
Because our resinous systems are high-performance, industrial-grade chemistry, they require professional-grade precision. To ensure the highest-quality installation and a valid warranty, we sell our products exclusively to certified professional installers.
Do you offer technical support for products you sell?

Do you offer bulk pricing or contractor discounts?
Yes! We offer competitive tiered pricing for high-volume orders and professional flooring contractors. Contact us to learn more about our specialized pricing.
What’s the difference between your 100% solids epoxy and “big box” store kits?
Retail kits are often water-based with low solids content, leading to a thin brittle film. Our 100% solids epoxy provides a much thicker, more durable wear layer that creates a true mechanical bond with the concrete.
When should I choose a polyaspartic over a traditional epoxy?
Polyaspartic is ideal when you need a fast return-to-service or UV resistance. We recommend it as a topcoat for 24-hour facilities, like fire stations, hospitals, and 24/7 manufacturing or outdoor areas where yellowing from sunlight is a concern.
Do you sell moisture vapor barriers?
Yes! For concrete slabs with high moisture levels, we supply specialized epoxy primers designed to withstand high MVE rates and prevent coating failure.
What types of decorative media do you stock?
We carry an extensive inventory of vinyl flakes, decorative quartz, and metallic pigments in a wide array of colors and sizes to suit any aesthetic.
Are your products “low VOC”?
Many of our modern resin systems are formulated to be low-VOC or VOC-compliant, making them safer for indoor applications in residential or commercial settings.
Do you sell or rent concrete grinders?
We sell a range of surface preparation equipment, from hand grinders to walk-behind floor machines. We also stock the diamond tooling needed for various concrete hardness levels.
What application tools do you recommend for a seamless finish?
We stock various types and brands, such as professional-grade squeegees, spiked shoes, high-quality lint-free rollers, and mixing paddles to ensure you have the right gear for a flawless application.
Do you carry repair materials for cracked concrete?
Yes! We supply rapid-set polyurea crack repair compound and epoxy crack fillers that let you patch divots and “stitch” cracks before you begin the coating process.
What kind of diamond tooling do I need for “hard” concrete?
Harder concrete requires a softer bond diamond. We can help you pick the correct grit and bond strength based on the Mohs hardness test of your slab.
