Urethane cement, flake broadcast, quartz system, & cove base takeoff

OVERVIEW

WHERE EPOXY FLOOR BIDS FAIL

Miscalculating mil thickness resin volumes, omitting shot-blasting surface profile prep, and ignoring radius cove base linear feet blow up bids.

01 MIL DEPTH VOLUME

Resin Spread Calculations

Estimating a 125-mil double-broadcast quartz system using thin-film 20-mil coating yield formulas leads to severe material shortages.

02 INTEGRAL COVE BASE

Sanitary Radius Base LF

4" and 6" troweled mortar cove base along room perimeters omitted from flat floor area square foot measurements.

03 SHOT-BLAST PREP

CSP 3–5 Mechanical Prep

Equipment rental, steel shot consumption, and scarifying labor unbudgeted for heavily contaminated concrete slabs.

04 BROADCAST AGGREGATE

Flake & Quartz Poundage

Vinyl chip and colored quartz aggregate broadcast to excess saturation calculated as basic single-pass coverage.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

We convert specified dry mil film thickness into wet mil application volume (1 mil = 1600 SF/gal at 100% solids), accounting for primer absorption and coat waste factors.

Yes. Integral troweled cove base is measured in linear feet by height (4" or 6") and calculated with specialized cove mortar kit yield formulas separate from flat floor areas.

We itemize shot-blasting or diamond scarifying by square feet according to the ICRI CSP level specified (CSP 3 for thin coatings, CSP 4–5 for heavy mortars).

We require architectural floor plans, finish floor plan sheets, room finish schedules, cove base architectural details, and Division 09 67 23 specs.

Standard commercial epoxy floor takeoff packages are delivered in 24–48 hours depending on square footage.
