This floor had been coated by a “professional” that same year. It really is a costly let-down when you’ve put your trust and assets (your building) in the hands of a supposedly reputable brand, company or contractor and they end up using retail grade materials on a commercial/industrial application.

This facility was brand new, with a relatively freshly poured concrete floor. To reduce the effects of hydrostatic pressure, a black membrane was first used to permeate the concrete, followed by a dark gray solid coat of “WS106: Green Concrete” epoxy. This will eliminate moisture pockets from occurring underneath the finish. All the imperfections in the floor were patched with Weatherskin concrete filler.
