When choosing flooring, Ark-La-Tex Concrete Coatings's polyurea coating systems provide the ideal blend of form and function. Recognized for its strength and durability, a polyurea floor provides a seamless, smooth appearance that adds visual appeal to your space.
Ark-La-Tex Concrete Coatings is committed to providing our customers with the highest quality floors in the Tallahassee and nearby area. Our products are designed for ultimate durability and style, and we offer a wide variety of colors and finishes to exactly meet the look and feel you want. Most floor coatings are water-based epoxy systems that harden with time and can become brittle in as little as two years, leading to cracks in your floor. Our polyurea floor coatings are 4x stronger than epoxy, will not chip, peel or delaminate, and offer the absolute best in form and function.
Ark-La-Tex Concrete Coatings has the industry's largest selection of high-performance flooring. Our floors are built to last and engineered to endure the toughest environments. These are just some of the examples of colors we carry. Please contact us if you would like to see other options, any of them are suitable for residential, commercial and industrial uses.
The installation process starts by assesing the condition of your floor. This step determines what type of concrete the new floor will be insrtalled. Moisture content, hardness and structural condition will all determine our approach in preparing the surface for maximum results.
After collecting information on the condition of your floor, our technicians will start preparing the surface for maximum adhesion. This is accomplished by using state of the art concrete grinders. These machines remove any unstable concrete at the surface and leave a coarse surface, which is essential for the next step of the process.
After diamond grinding the concrete surface we will repair any further damage the floor might have. These repairs are made to floors and to surfaces in which the grinder was not able to reach due to the extend of the damage (deep cracks and pits). We use menders that have a fast curing time with highly resilient properties, strnghtening the concrete and gettign the surface ready for the application of the base coat.
We start by mixing a small amount of our base coat, a self-priming pure polyurea, which is used to cut in all the edges around the floor and cover the prepared concrete surface. The base coat is applied using a technique using a roller, to ensure the product is evenly distributed. We repeat the rolling process until the whole surface is covered completely.
When the floor is coated completely with the base coat, we broadcast the flake into the wet coating by hand, covering the whole floor with the flakes. By using mass quantities of flakes, we ensure that the floor is completely covered,leaving it uniform in color and texture. Any flakes that are loose or vertically standing are removed by a process called "scrapping". This ensure the smoothness of the surface.
After our floor is prepped, coated, flaked, scraped, and vacuumed, we can start our final step — the application of the clear coat. We start by clear coating all of the vertical surfaces and then brushing the perimeter of the floor itself. The clear coat is distributed across the floor through a technique of rolling and squeegeeing. This ensures that no unsightly lines will be left upon completion of the project.
After 4 to 6 hours of drying you can confidently walk on your new coating and after 48 hours you can park and drive on the coating. We hope you fully enjoy your new floor!

This is due to polyureas extreme flexibility, elongation, dense cross-linking and mar resistance. Polyureas can take a tremendous amount of abuse because they are malleable and can take the physical impacts and disperse them, much like the rubber on a car tire.
Polyureas are 98% more flexible than typical Epoxy/Hybrid floor coatings. This flexibility is key during large temperature fluctuations. Polyureas, being as flexible as they are, expand and contract with the concrete leaving the surface strong and intact.
Polyureas are more chemically resistant to a much wider range of chemicals than epoxy surfaces. This is due to their densely cross-linked chemistry. From Stains, Oil, Gas, and Grease, to Acids, Skydrol, Hydroxides, Polyureas will stand the test of time. Polyureas are also 100% UV stable.
