What Is Quartz Broadcast Floor Coating?
Concrete Shield Coatings Inc. installs quartz broadcast floor coatings that provide strong grip, long life, and chemical protection for commercial and industrial spaces.
This system uses colored quartz granules mixed into epoxy or polyaspartic resin. The result is a seamless, multi-layer floor that looks great and lasts for years.
Why Choose Quartz Broadcast?
Unlike standard epoxy or painted concrete, quartz broadcast systems offer:
- Great grip - the textured surface stays safe, even when wet
- Built to last - handles foot traffic, rolling loads, and drops
- Resists chemicals - stands up to cleaners, oils, and harsh liquids
- Custom look - dozens of quartz color blends to pick from
Key Benefits of Quartz Broadcast Flooring
Why commercial and industrial facilities choose quartz broadcast.
Slip Resistance
The textured surface adds grip and lowers the risk of slips in wet areas like kitchens, pool decks, and locker rooms.
Impact & Abrasion Resistance
Double broadcast systems take heavy foot traffic, dropped tools, and rolling carts without showing wear.
Chemical Resistance
Stands up to harsh cleaners, degreasers, oils, and other common shop chemicals.
Easy Maintenance
No grout lines means no place for dirt or mold to hide. Just sweep, mop, or hose it down.
Ideal Applications for Quartz Broadcast
Quartz broadcast excels in environments demanding slip resistance, durability, and sanitary conditions.
Commercial Kitchens
Restaurants, cafeterias, and food prep areas where slip resistance and sanitation are critical.
Locker Rooms & Gyms
Athletic facilities and school locker rooms with wet conditions and high traffic.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, clinics, and labs requiring seamless, easy-to-sanitize flooring.
Veterinary Clinics
Animal hospitals needing chemical-resistant, easy-clean surfaces.
Manufacturing Plants
Production floors and warehouses with heavy equipment and foot traffic.
Breweries & Wineries

Our Quartz Broadcast Installation Process
Professional quartz broadcast installation requires careful preparation and precise technique. Here's what to expect.
2
Prime Coat Application
We apply a primer to seal the concrete and help the coating bond tightly.
3
First Quartz Broadcast
We spread the base coat and broadcast quartz granules into it. Then we let it cure.
4
Second Broadcast (Double System)
For double systems, we add a grout coat and a second layer of quartz for extra strength.
5
Topcoat & Final Cure
A clear or tinted topcoat seals everything in. Once it cures, the floor is ready to use.

Expect to pay $8 to $15 per square foot installed. The price depends on floor condition, system type, and total area. Check our service areas page.
A typical double broadcast quartz installation takes 3-5 days. For polyaspartic-based systems, installation can be completed faster with quicker return to service.
Yes. Properly installed quartz broadcast flooring meets requirements for USDA and FDA-regulated food processing facilities. The seamless, non-porous surface is easy to sanitize.
With proper installation and maintenance, quartz broadcast flooring can last 15-20+ years in commercial environments.
Yes, with UV-stable topcoats. Quartz systems work great for exterior walkways, patios, and breezeways. For pool areas, see our pool deck coatings.
For residential garage floors, flake epoxy systems are typically better-more cost-effective and excellent for typical garage use. Quartz is designed for heavy commercial environments.
