Quartz epoxy flooring, also known as epoxy quartz flooring or quartz broadcast flooring, is a robust flooring system offered by Altero Epoxy in Calgary. This system blends epoxy resin with quartz granules, applied over a prepared surface where the epoxy resin serves as a binder to hold the quartz particles firmly in place. The result is a smooth, glossy finish that is highly resistant to heavy traffic, wear, impacts, and chemicals.
Typically, our experienced team at Altero Epoxy can complete the application of a quartz epoxy floor coating within 2 to 3 days.

Quartz epoxy coatings are a top choice for flooring in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Their exceptional composition of quartz granules mixed with epoxy resin delivers numerous benefits, contributing to their impressive 20-30 year lifespan. This makes quartz epoxy coatings an excellent option for even the most demanding environments, providing durability and longevity that stand the test of time.
The rough and gritty texture of the quartz granules mixed into the epoxy resin provides this vital feature. The varied shapes and sizes of the quartz particles form a textured surface that improves traction and grip, significantly lowering the risk of slips and falls. This textured approach increases the coefficient of friction between the floor and footwear, maintaining safety even in wet or oily conditions.
Quartz epoxy flooring provides excellent heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 128°F (53°C) without softening, warping, or significant degradation. Its self-extinguishing qualities and a Class A flame spread rating (NFPA 101) make it an ideal choice for areas prone to heat exposure, such as manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, or food processing facilities.
Altero Epoxy utilizes quartz epoxy coatings, renowned for their non-porous epoxy resin composition, which inherently resists microbial growth. This characteristic effectively prevents bacteria, mold, and fungi from developing on the floor surface. The non-porous nature of these coatings also blocks moisture and organic substances from seeping in, eliminating potential breeding grounds for harmful pathogens.
Quartz epoxy floor coatings enhance noise control in indoor settings, fostering a more tranquil and comfortable environment for occupants. The textured surface of the quartz granules scatters sound waves, diminishing reverberation and lessening noise transfer between floors. This scattering interrupts sound waves, preventing them from echoing off smooth surfaces. Additionally, the inherent properties of the epoxy resin contribute to sound absorption, further mitigating noise levels.
Quartz epoxy flooring generally exhibits an elongation at break around 4.2%. This figure represents the of extent of deformation the material can withstand before it fractures under tensile stress. Although epoxy floors, including those embedded with quartz, are inherently rigid, this level of elongation indicates a moderate degree of flexibility.
Quartz epoxy flooring is highly valued for its ease of cleaning and maintenance. The seamless and smooth surface of this flooring type prevents dirt and debris from accumulating, making regular cleaning straightforward and efficient. Additionally, its resistance to stains and spills means that maintenance involves simple routine care without the need for intensive scrubbing or specialized cleaning agents. This makes quartz epoxy an ideal choice for areas requiring minimal upkeep and maximum hygiene.
Epoxy quartz flooring is a versatile solution, suitable for various environments across Calgary. Our installation services cover areas such as commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, industrial warehouses, and educational institutions. This flooring's durability and aesthetic appeal make it ideal for high-traffic areas and spaces that demand stringent hygiene standards. Whether you need a resilient floor for a busy hospital corridor or a sleek surface for a retail space, our epoxy quartz floors offer both functionality and style.
