Choosing the Right Solution for Flooded Office
When flooding affected this Haddonfield office, it left behind damaged carpet tiles and ceramic flooring. The office owners saw this as a chance to upgrade their space and reached out to Swayd Epoxy Floors for a solution. They chose Terrazzo vinyl epoxy flake flooring, a practical option that would address their needs for durability and style.
Epoxy flake flooring was the ideal choice for this water-damaged office space. It offers excellent moisture resistance, crucial for basement-level areas prone to flooding. The flake system provides a textured surface for increased safety, while epoxy prevents water penetration. Its durability ensures it can withstand heavy office use, making it a smart, long-lasting solution.
Preparing the Surface
Our team began by removing the water-damaged carpet tiles and ceramic flooring using floor scrapers. This process exposed the concrete underneath, providing a clean foundation for the new epoxy floor.
Next, we prepared the concrete surface. We used a shot blast machine to create the ideal texture for epoxy adhesion, followed by careful grinding to achieve the perfect profile. These steps are essential for ensuring the new floor bonds properly and lasts for years to come.
Adding Extra Protection
Considering the office’s previous water issues, we took additional precautions. We applied a moisture vapor barrier epoxy to guard against future moisture problems. This extra layer of protection is particularly valuable for basement-level spaces like this office.
Flake Epoxy Application
After preparing the concrete, we moved on to applying the epoxy. We laid down the base coat and then broadcast the Terrazzo-style vinyl flakes into the wet epoxy. This technique creates a unique pattern that adds a stylish look to the floor while also improving slip resistance.
To complete the project, we applied a durable polyaspartic top coat. This final layer does more than enhance the floor’s appearance – it makes the floor resistant to heavy foot traffic, office furniture, and even potential future water issues.
A Durable and Attractive Commercial Floor
The new commercial epoxy floor offers a blend of practicality and improved aesthetics. It’s easy to maintain, highly durable, and gives the office a fresh, professional look. The transition from water-damaged carpet and ceramic tiles to a resilient flake epoxy surface has significantly improved the space.
By opting for an epoxy flake floor, this office effectively addressed their flooring issues while upgrading their workspace. The new floor is well-equipped to handle the demands of a busy office environment and resist potential water damage in the future.
