Overview
Foot traffic never ends in public and commercial facilities. It's a good thing Nature Stone® never quits. When applied directly over concrete, only Nature Stone® withstands daily and heavy usage without ever showing signs of wear and tear. It's also slip resistant even when wet and virtually maintenance-free.
Simply put, a Nature Stone® floor is the only permanent floor covering for concrete surfaces. Here's why. By it's very nature, concrete is porous and damp. Water, moisture and dampness migrate upward from the ground, working their way through the concrete.
This is called hydrostatic pressure. When concrete is covered with conventional floor coverings like carpeting, tile, paint or coatings, the moisture has nowhere to go and becomes trapped. As a result, carpeting gets damp and begins to breed mold and mildew. Tiles loosen and pop. Paint coatings blister and peel. Vinyl Coverings trap moisture and separate from concrete. This is why you frequently have to replace and reapply these types of floor coverings.
Nature Stone® never deteriorates and never needs to be replaced because it's designed to work with concrete. Nature Stone® blends the finest natural stones with its specially formulated, 100% undiluted epoxy that's engineered specifically to be applied over concrete floors. The strength of the epoxy is enhanced by a proven stone-to-epoxy mix ratio developed by Nature Stone®
This combination creates hydrostatic ports that allow concrete to breathe naturally, instead of trapping harmful moisture and hydrostatic pressure. You’re left with a beautiful, clean, dry, low-maintenance floor that lasts a lifetime.
Architects, Designers, Owners prefer the durability, diversity of design capabilities, and aesthetic value that Nature Stone® provides.
Commercial Properties are more demanding of their flooring requirements than residential clients for greater point load impact, abrasion resistance, non-skid properties, environmental compliance and low maintenance, For these reasons, Nature Stone is preferred over tile, coatings, linoleum, stamped concrete and carpet.
