ColorFloor
ColorFloor Epoxy System-
This is a 3 layer epoxy and urethane resinous flooring system. The following scope of work is to install a solid color epoxy and urethane resinous flooring system using the methods and materials listed below:
1) ColorFloor Verify Measurements-
(Contractor Company Name) will verify the dimensions of the work area, and all details provided by the customer to create this proposal. Any additional items found to be needed or adjustments to be made, can be done as a Change Order with the approval of you the Customer.
Preparation Services
1) ColorFloor Coverings Removal/Demo-
If applicable remove the existing floor coverings and haul away: Tile or Carpet. Please note that if additional layers of floor coverings are found to be underneath what can be seen, a Change Order for the added cost must be made and will be based on the type and amount of additional removal needed.
2) ColorFloor Moisture Test-
This is a test to determine the level of moisture vapor that is naturally evaporating and outgassing from your existing concrete floor. This test does not determine any structural issues, plumbing issues, or the like. Being that all concrete floors are different, the standard acceptable results for the epoxy layers are 3 pounds of moisture per an average 1,000 square feet area, over a 24 hour period. If the results of the moisture tests are higher than the acceptable results, then we recommend a moisture vapor barrier that is listed below.
3) ColorFloor Diamond Grind-
Use diamond grinders around edges and as needed to achieve profile in accordance with the International Concrete Repair Institute.
4) ColorFloor Shotblast-
A metal sand shot blaster used to achieve profile in accordance with International Concrete Repair Institute. Please note that some tooling marks from shot blasting may be visible within the coatings layers. Softer concrete surfaces may show more tooling marks than harder, newer concrete surfaces. As well, areas of weak surfaces may require additional patching, which is an unknown until after the shot blasting process has been completed. Areas that require large amounts of additional patching will require a Change Order with the approval of you the Customer. Vacuum thoroughly once desired profile is achieved.
Installation Services
1) ColorFloor Joint Fill-
Place backer rod into joints and install joint fill product to create a smoother surface and protect against collection water, ice, dirt and debris. Unfilled joints do not provide this protection. Note that the joints are at the surface edge in order to allow for expansion and contraction of the joint fill material.
2) ColorFloor Crack Fill -
Fill cracks in concrete with an epoxy patching compound. Cracks larger than 1/32" will be filled to help provide a smoother more professional appearance.
Please note that filling any crack does not create a structural repair. Epoxy creates a high-strength bond that reinforces the concrete rather than just covering the crack but does not guarantee to remediate a concrete slab that is moving, or has moisture pressure from underneath.
3) ColorFloor Patching-
Apply epoxy patching material to areas of concrete to reduce severity of depressions. Epoxy patching compounds are stronger than regular concrete repairs and ensure the substrate remains solid and stable under traffic and weight loads, as a properly prepped surface extends the durability and longevity of the epoxy coating.
4) ColorFloor Cove Base-
If purchased by the customer install an epoxy mortared cove base along the wall locations specified and at what height from the floor up the wall.
Epoxy cove bases are extremely durable in many commercial applications and help create more of a tub affect with its integral design with the floor. This helps with regular and heavy-duty cleaning processes and helps keep water from migrating under walls.
5) ColorFloor VaporStop-
If moisture test results are above the standard allowed by the coating material, a moisture vapor barrier is recommended. We will apply a special VaporStop coating to reduce amount of moisture that can outgas from the concrete slab and attack the coating system.
Please note that moisture vapor barriers do not protect against running water, drainage problems or the like. These coatings are intended to resist moisture vapor only and extend the life of the concrete floor.
6) ColorFloor Buffing/Sanding-
A rotating floor machine used to prep the surface for the next coating layer by buffing or sanding, which helps smooth out general dust and debris that naturally accumulates onto the wet epoxy layers between coats. Vacuum thoroughly once desired profile is achieved.
7) ColorFloor Epoxy Base Coat-
Apply 100% Solids epoxy base coat tinted in accordance with customer color information.
The epoxy base coat has excellent dwell time, rather than rapidly curing, which provides excellent penetration by seeping deep into the concrete pores, catalyzing inside the concrete and not just laying on top like paint coatings. Once cured, repeat step 6.
8) ColorFloor Epoxy Build Coat-
Apply a second layer of 100% epoxy, tinted in accordance with the customer color information.
The epoxy build coat helps create a thicker, stronger and smoother floor, which extends the life of the concrete coating system, is easier to clean, with a professional appearance. Once cured, repeat step 6.
9) ColorFloor Polyaspartic Top Coat-
Apply polyaspartic top coat tinted in accordance with customer color information.
The polyaspartic topcoat provides excellent resistance to many types of liquids, foods, animal waste, dirt, salt and more, and are highly resistant to UV light.
OR
9) ColorFloor Urethane Top Coat-
Apply Urethane coating tinted in accordance with customer color information.
-The High Wear Urethane is a very durable finish that is highly resistant to scratching. The appearance is also a low sheen with a slight surface texture.
-The Water Based Urethane uses water as the main solvent, with lower volatile organic compounds. It dries significantly faster than oil-based urethane, allowing for multiple coats in a single day. Typically dries clear, preserving the natural color.
-The Moisture Cure Urethane is a coating that hardens when it absorbs moisture from the air or a surface. It cures in cold weather, can handle higher heat temperatures than most epoxies, can be spray applied wet-on-wet, has short drying times, and can be used in high humidity and other challenging environments.
10) ColorFloor Traction Control-
If purchased by the customer, add aggregate for traction control in accordance with "System Layers and Colors" Information. Add aggregate to create traction for a better nonskid surface.
