Commercial Epoxy Flake Floor Redo in Spartanburg, SC
Tidal Wave Full Broadcast Flake — Convenience Store on Asheville Highway, Previous Contractor Failure Corrected
Blastek Concrete Designs fixed a failed commercial floor at a convenience store on Asheville Highway in Spartanburg, South Carolina — a full broadcast Tidal Wave epoxy flake system installed over a slab that a previous contractor had left in no condition to hold a coating. The original job had gone wrong before Blastek ever arrived. Carpet backer and adhesive were still bonded to the concrete, major spalls had been left unrepaired across the field, and the slab surface was uneven — the kind of substrate that causes any coating system to fail no matter how good the product is. Blastek started from scratch.
The crew removed all of the carpet backer and glue, repaired the trenches and major spalls the previous contractor had left behind, and then ran the floor through heavy grinding passes to flatten the surface as much as possible across the entire space. The goal was a uniform, flat, clean substrate — the only kind of surface a full broadcast flake system can bond to properly and hold for years. With the slab prepped correctly, the team installed the full broadcast Tidal Wave flake system: base coat applied across the field, Tidal Wave flake — a cool blue-gray, white, and silver chip blend — scattered to rejection across the wet surface, scraped and vacuumed flat, and sealed with a durable top coat.
The drop-ceiling retail space, once covered in failed flooring and a damaged slab, now has a clean, professional, highly reflective floor that handles the foot traffic and spills of a commercial convenience store.
