Quartz Broadcast Floors
Built for Commercial Reality

Coloured quartz granules are spread into a wet epoxy or polyaspartic basecoat, then sealed with a clear chemical-resistant topcoat. The result is a thick, seamless, slip-resistant floor that's roughly 1/8" thick on a double-broadcast system.

It's the commercial-grade flooring system you see in commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities and manufacturing plants — built for environments where slip safety, sanitation and impact resistance are non-negotiable.

Most commercial quartz broadcast installs run $8–12 per square foot installed, all-in. Single broadcast systems start around $8/sqft for moderate-traffic spaces; double broadcast systems for commercial kitchens, healthcare and high-impact floors run $10–12/sqft.

Chemical-resistant topcoat upgrades add roughly $1–2/sqft. Volume pricing is available on jobs above ~5,000 sqft.

A typical double-broadcast quartz install takes 3–5 working days. Single broadcast systems install in 2–3 days.

With polyaspartic-based systems we can compress the timeline further — useful when downtime is expensive (kitchens, healthcare). We coordinate the schedule around your operation: nights, weekends and phased work are all options.

Yes. Properly installed quartz broadcast flooring meets the requirements for USDA and FDA-regulated food processing facilities. The seamless, non-porous surface is easy to sanitise and free of grout lines or seams where bacteria can hide.

We can provide the specific spec sheet on request for your auditor or compliance officer.

Realistic commercial lifespan is 15–25+ years with proper installation and routine maintenance. Heavy industrial floors (manufacturing, breweries) often hit 15–20 years; lower-traffic spaces (vet clinics, locker rooms) routinely make it past 20.

The single biggest factor is the diamond-ground prep — same as every other coating system. We back every install with a written project warranty.

Yes, with a UV-stable polyaspartic or urethane topcoat. Quartz broadcast works well for exterior walkways, patios, breezeways and pool decks because the texture provides reliable slip resistance when wet.

For pool areas specifically, see our pool deck coatings page.

Single broadcast is one layer of quartz into one epoxy basecoat, sealed with a topcoat. Total build is around 60–80 mils — fine for moderate-traffic spaces with tighter budgets.

Double broadcast adds a grout coat plus a second quartz layer, bringing total thickness to ~125+ mils. Double is the spec we recommend for any commercial kitchen, healthcare facility, manufacturing plant or high-impact space — it doubles the impact resistance and lifespan.

For a residential garage, flake epoxy or polyurea is almost always the better fit — cheaper, plenty of grip from the flake texture, and designed for vehicle/foot traffic.

Quartz broadcast is built for commercial environments that need built-in slip resistance, chemical exposure tolerance and 1/8"+ thickness to absorb impact. Quartz is overkill in a typical garage and the cost reflects that. See the side-by-side comparison above.

Yes — chemical resistance is one of the main reasons commercial facilities pick quartz. Cleaners, degreasers, oils, mild acids and bases are all handled.

For aggressive industrial chemistry (concentrated acids, solvents, fuels) we spec a specific chemical-resistant urethane or novolac topcoat. Tell us what chemicals the floor will see and we'll match the topcoat to the exposure.

Daily: sweep or auto-scrub with a neutral cleaner. Weekly: hose down or auto-scrub for a deeper clean.

The textured surface holds onto dirt slightly more than a smooth coating, so commercial facilities typically use auto-scrubbers — but the trade-off is the slip resistance that smooth floors don't have. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus, descalers) on standard polyaspartic topcoats; on chemical-resistant topcoats they're fine.
