Basement Remodeled With 6009 Epoxy, Chipped Stone Flakes and 5500 Polyaspartic

Basement Floor Remodeled With 6009 Epoxy and Full Broadcast Chipped Stone Flakes

DESCRIPTION

DIY Customer wanted to redo the floor in his basement and decided on a professional quality epoxy, Chipped Stone flake broadcast and polyaspartic coating system.

The concrete floor was thoroughly prepared prior to application of product. The floor was prepped with a concrete diamond grinder so that the floor felt like 80-100 grit sandpaper.

They used a 2-step application process:

First, they applied 3 gallons of 100% solids commercial grade 6009 Epoxy in Light Grey color at 85’ per gallon (19 mils thick) and broadcast 30lbs of ¼” Pumice Blend Chipped Stone Flakes into the 6009 while it was wet right after application, resulting in a full broadcast to refusal.

The final step was completed 5 hours later with a clear high solids commercial grade Polyaspartic high gloss topcoat consisting of 2 gallons of the 5500-EX at 125’ per gallon (11 mils thick) with Anti-Slip Polybeads mixed into the Polyaspartic.
