Apex Floor System
Start with the floor—and how you need it to perform.
Every concrete slab and project is different. These answers provide a useful starting point without replacing an evaluation of your space.
01What concrete flooring services does Apex Floor System offer?
Apex Floor System offers epoxy floor coating, polyaspartic floor coating, decorative flake systems, quartz floor coating, metallic floor coating, and concrete polishing and staining. Every coated or polished project begins with appropriate surface preparation and grinding.
02Do you work on both residential and commercial floors?
Yes. Residential applications include garages and patios. Commercial applications include garages, warehouses, retail spaces, commercial kitchens, showrooms, and industrial spaces, depending on the selected floor system.
03What is the difference between a floor coating and polished concrete?
Epoxy, polyaspartic, flake, quartz, and metallic systems add a coating over prepared concrete. Polishing uses multi-step diamond grinding to create a smooth, glossy finish in the concrete itself, while staining can add color and depth without a coating system.
04Is surface preparation included before coating or polishing?
Surface preparation is the starting point for every coated or polished floor. Apex Floor System uses diamond grinding to remove old coatings, level imperfections, and open the concrete pore structure so the selected system can bond properly.
05Where does Apex Floor System provide service?
Apex Floor System is located in Plano, Texas, and serves residential and commercial customers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
06How do I know which floor system is right for my space?
The best choice depends on where the floor is located, how it will be used, the desired appearance, available downtime, and the condition of the concrete. An estimate conversation gives Apex Floor System the information needed to discuss suitable options without assuming one system fits every project.
07Why choose epoxy floor coating?
Epoxy is a tough, chemical- and impact-resistant coating that bonds directly to prepared concrete. It is suited to garages, warehouses, industrial floors, and retail spaces that experience foot or vehicle traffic.
08When is polyaspartic coating useful?
Polyaspartic is a fast-curing alternative to epoxy that can reduce downtime. It is also more UV-stable than standard epoxy, making it useful for garages, patios, and spaces with natural light.
09What are the benefits of flake and quartz floor systems?
Flake systems add decorative color, texture, and grip through flakes broadcast into an epoxy or polyaspartic base coat. Quartz systems use colored quartz sand to create a hard-wearing decorative floor for demanding commercial and industrial environments.
10Can a floor finish include color or a decorative effect?
Yes. Flake systems are available in color blends, quartz systems use colored quartz sand, metallic epoxy creates a unique marbled three-dimensional appearance, and concrete staining can add color and depth to bare concrete.
11Are decorative floor coatings slip-resistant?
Texture can affect traction. The decorative flakes in a flake system add texture and slip resistance. Tell Apex Floor System how the area will be used so that traction needs can be considered when discussing the system.
12How long will my flooring project take?
Timing depends on the size and condition of the concrete, the selected system, preparation needs, and the space itself. Polyaspartic cures in a fraction of the time required by standard epoxy. Apex Floor System can discuss a project-specific schedule during the estimate process.
13Can old coatings or surface imperfections be addressed?
Floor preparation and diamond grinding can remove old coatings and level certain imperfections. The existing slab should be evaluated before work begins so the preparation scope and appropriate floor system can be discussed.
14How do I request an estimate?
Use the contact form to share your name, contact information, city, project type, preferred service, and any available project details. Apex Floor System will follow up to discuss the space and estimate or scheduling needs.
