Flake and Quartz are suitable for outdoor applications. It is best to avoid bold, bright colors due to premature fading. Check with your customer service representative about the most UV stable color selection.
To prevent sharp Glitter pieces from sticking up after the final topcoat, we recommend a grout coat applied at 10-16 mils, followed by a light sanding of the floor to knock down any sharp edges. Then follow with the final topcoat.
Flake is a great solution for pool decks. High-performance pool deck finishes provide superior chemical and abrasion resistance, while enhancing sanitation by protecting against mold and bacterial growth. Our materials are manufactured with colorfast UV stable pigments but may be susceptible to slight fading over time under direct sun exposure. To ensure optimal UV stability please consult your coatings manufacturer for system specifications.
Daily dust mopping the floor to remove abrasive dirt is recommended. High-performance flooring is best cleaned with mild soap and water with a mop. If more aggressive cleaning is needed, use a nylon bristle brush and mild soapy water. Many cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can be damaging to your resinous floor.
Optimal install conditions are 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Check with your coatings manufacturer for best practices. Ambient weather conditions can directly affect cure times.

Our Hybrid Stone and Terrazzo Flake are series of Flake blends that feature multiple sizes with the majority of the makeup being 1/16” and the remainder being either 1/4” or 1/8” Flake.

40-S QUARTZ is primarily used in a broadcast floor system, where the QUARTZ is thrown into a pigmented basecoat until rejection. 25-A is our trowel grade, used in an epoxy mortar system where the epoxy and quartz are mixed together and troweled onto the floor. This method is extremely durable and recommended for the harshest environments.
