Day 1-2: Detailed Preparation

The first two days of the project were dedicated to meticulous preparation. This stage is essential to ensure a smooth application and the long-lasting durability of the epoxy floor.

Surface Cleaning and Preparation:
We began by thoroughly cleaning the existing floor to remove any debris, dust, or old coatings. Using industrial-grade diamond grinders, we created a textured surface, which is essential for strong epoxy adhesion. This step helped to ensure that the epoxy would bond securely, resisting any peeling or wear from daily dog traffic.

Filling and Leveling:
Once the surface was prepared, our team filled any cracks or imperfections and leveled the floor, creating a solid and even base. This foundational work is critical for achieving a flawless finish, especially in high-traffic environments like a dog daycare.

Day 3-4: Epoxy Resin Installation

With the floor fully prepped, we moved on to the installation phase, which took two days and included applying multiple layers to create the desired flake finish.

Primer Coat:
We applied a primer coat to the entire surface. This coat penetrates the floor substrate, ensuring a strong bond and creating a base layer to prevent air bubbles from forming.

Base Coat:
After allowing the primer to cure, we applied a solid-colored base coat. This base enhanced the depth of the final design while creating a visually clean backdrop for the flake layer.

Flake Application:
Once the base coat was ready, we added the flake layer. Epoxy resin flakes are ideal for high-traffic areas as they create a textured, non-slip surface that’s also highly resistant to scratches and stains. We distributed the flakes evenly, creating a visually cohesive and practical finish for the daycare’s needs.

Day 5: Top Coat and Final Touches

The final day was dedicated to applying the top coat and finishing the project with a careful inspection.

Top Coat Application:
We applied a clear, high-gloss top coat to seal in the flake design, providing a durable, easy-to-clean surface. The top coat adds an extra layer of protection against wear and tear, ideal for the daily activity at Fetch Doggy Day Care.

Inspection and Site Clean-Up:
After the top coat cured, our team performed a thorough inspection to ensure the floor met our quality standards. We then completed a meticulous clean-up, leaving the site ready for use.

The Result: A Durable and Stylish Transformation

The finished epoxy resin flake floor was both functional and visually appealing, perfectly meeting the client’s needs. The flake finish offered a sleek, clean look while providing a durable, low-maintenance surface that could easily withstand daily messes and high foot traffic. The result was a fresh, professional appearance that greeted clients and their pets with a welcoming, polished space.

Client Feedback

The client was delighted with the results, praising the floor’s durability and ease of maintenance, which were essential for the dog daycare environment. The new floor not only improved functionality but also added an attractive, modern touch to the facility.
