Our projects
Barrington, IL Garage
We worked with the owner of this home to select a custom Viktor flake blend from Torginol, by adding additional yellow and purple flake to the standard mix. We prepared the garage by sealing off air gaps to the home with plastic, grinding the floor, patching areas of spalled concrete, regrinding the patched areas, and vacuuming the concrete dust. We then installed ProRez's Biothane which is a plant oil-based polyurethane base coat and broadcasted the flake. After scraping and vacuuming the excess flake, ProRez's Prospartic was applied and the gloss level is beautiful.
St. Charles, IL Garage
We removed the existing coating by diamond grinding to expose clean profiled concrete. Next we repaired cracks and installed a light gray epoxy base coat and broadcasted 1/4" Orbit flake. After allowing time for drying we finished the project with a gloss polyaspartic top coat.

Elburn, IL Garage
The garage of this farm house was in rough shape due to embedded oil and significant cracks. For this project we degreased the floor and diamond ground the concrete to provide a suitable substrate for the new epoxy floor. After a lot of patching and some minor concreate repairs to smooth crack transitions we installed a 100% solids tan epoxy, 1/4" canyon flake, and low odor polyaspartic top coat with embedded aluminum oxide for slip resistance. With a fresh coat of paint on the drywall and newly installed baseboard the homeowner is ecstatic.
Westchester, IL Basement
With an existing coating in the main room of the basement and a heavy mastic in the living room of the basement we put some "elbow grease" into the concrete preparation prior to epoxying the floor with 16 mils of 100% solids epoxy. The new coating brightened up the room.
Campton Hills Basement
The owner of this home was tired of stepping on chipped concrete on their way to use the basement laundry facilities. With some concrete repairs and removal of the existing coating we installed a black epoxy base coat. After allowing 24 hours to dry, we installed a three color metallic epoxy system with copper, black, and a hint of aluminum. The finishing touch was a clear polyurethane top coat with excellent abrasion and wear resistance to protect the floor from the kids!
