Select a quartz or polymer flake broadcast decorative resinous flooring system

Steps

1. Distinguish quartz (aggregate) broadcast systems from vinyl/polymer flake broadcast systems — quartz systems use colored sand/quartz aggregate broadcast into epoxy for slip-resistant, decorative industrial/commercial floors, while flake systems use polymer chips broadcast into epoxy or polyaspartic base coats, primarily for decorative residential/light-commercial floors.
2. Select broadcast rate (partial/decorative vs. full broadcast-to-refusal) based on required texture and slip resistance — full broadcast-to-refusal creates a heavier-textured, more slip-resistant surface than partial decorative broadcast.
3. Confirm the topcoat system (clear epoxy, polyaspartic, or polyurethane) is compatible with the broadcast media and the site's chemical/UV/traffic exposure — flake systems can be UV-sensitive depending on resin chemistry, relevant for sunlit areas.
4. Verify slip resistance of the finished (broadcast plus topcoat) assembly against current ANSI A326.3 DCOF requirements for the intended use classification — request tested data for the assembled system, not just the base coat.
5. Follow standard surface-prep (target CSP per ICRI 310.2R) and moisture-testing steps before installation, just as with any resinous system — broadcast media doesn't change substrate prep requirements.
