Engineered Strength. Industrial Performance.
Quartz broadcast flooring systems are designed for the most demanding environments — combining slip resistance, compressive strength, and chemical durability in a seamless, multilayered build.
Built to handle forklifts, spills, heat, and harsh cleaning agents, our quartz systems are ideal for facilities that can't afford failure.
What is a Heavy Duty Quartz Broadcast System?
A heavy-duty quartz broadcast system is a multilayer resin flooring system that incorporates colored quartz aggregate broadcast into epoxy or urethane coatings to create an extremely durable, slip-resistant, and chemically resistant surface.
Unlike simple coatings, quartz systems are built in multiple stages: a vapor barrier or epoxy body coat, a full quartz broadcast, and a protective topcoat. Each layer contributes to the floor’s strength, texture, and long-term performance, making it ideal for industrial environments where standard floors quickly fail.
The quartz itself is a natural mineral, rounded or angular in shape, kiln-dried, and graded for uniformity. It’s broadcast into wet resin until full saturation (also called "broadcast to rejection"), embedding it into the system for structural integrity and consistent texture.
These floors are typically 1/8" to 3/16" thick, depending on whether a single or double broadcast is used. When paired with a chemical-resistant topcoat, they become a seamless, industrial-grade surface capable of handling forklifts, thermal cycling, aggressive cleaning agents, and heavy foot traffic.
Why chose a Heavy Duty Quartz Broadcast System
Slip Resistance: The textured quartz surface provides reliable traction, even in wet or greasy areas.
Impact & Abrasion Resistance: Designed to withstand forklifts, carts, and daily abuse without chipping or delaminating.
Chemical Durability: Resists cleaners, oils, acids, alkalis, and solvents commonly found in industrial environments.
Moisture Tolerance: When paired with a vapor barrier base, it can handle high-moisture slabs and wet cleaning.
Seamless & Hygienic: Installed without grout lines or seams, making it easy to clean and compliant with food and safety regulations.
Customizable Texture: Adjustable levels of traction based on environment and safety requirements.

Our Process (How We Install Heavy Duty Quartz Broadcast Systems)
1. Mechanical Surface Preparation
The concrete is mechanically profiled using diamond grinding or shot blasting to achieve the required CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) of 3 to 5. This removes surface contaminants, weak concrete, and old coatings while opening the slab for maximum adhesion. Edges, corners, and wall transitions are detailed using hand grinders.
2. Crack and Surface Repair
All cracks, spalls, and surface defects are repaired using epoxy or polyurea patching materials. Control joints are treated according to system specs — either filled, honored, or saw-cut — to prevent future telegraphing.
3. Epoxy Vapor Barrier / Base Coat
A 10–12 mil high-solids epoxy vapor barrier is applied as the body coat. This seals the concrete, blocks moisture vapor transmission, and provides a bonding layer for the quartz aggregate. In some cases, a thicker body coat may be used for additional durability.
4. Quartz Broadcast to Rejection
Clean, kiln-dried colored quartz is broadcast into the wet epoxy by hand or machine until full saturation (“broadcast to rejection”). This forms the wear layer and gives the system its texture, strength, and slip resistance.
5. Recovery and Optional Second Broadcast
Once the first coat has cured, excess quartz is removed and vacuumed. In heavy-duty applications, a second coat of epoxy is applied and rebroadcast to increase thickness and abrasion resistance.
6. High-Performance Topcoat
A polyaspartic or urethane topcoat is applied at 6–10 mils to encapsulate the quartz, enhance cleanability, resist chemicals, and lock in long-term durability. Texture and gloss levels can be adjusted based on client needs or safety requirements.
Built to Perform. Ready for Work.
When failure isn’t an option, quartz broadcast systems deliver — combining strength, slip resistance, and chemical durability in one seamless solution.
