Colored Quartz Epoxy For Heavy-Duty Floors
Quartz-broadcast epoxy systems built for the heaviest commercial duty: commercial kitchens, locker rooms, food service, and high-traffic retail. Aggressive impact resistance plus built-in texture and decorative finish.
What Is Colored Quartz Epoxy?
Colored quartz epoxy is one of the toughest decorative coatings available. Colored quartz aggregate (small, irregular silica particles colored to match a design palette) is broadcast into a wet epoxy basecoat at full reject, then sealed with one or two clear topcoats. The result is a 1/4-inch-thick, dense, mechanically robust floor that handles dropped equipment, dragged carts, hot grease, and constant moisture without showing wear.
Steadfast specs colored quartz for environments that flake epoxy can’t handle: commercial kitchens with hot oil exposure, locker rooms with constant water and chemical cleaning, hospital wet rooms, dairy and food production with frequent steam wash-down. The aggregate-loaded thickness gives the system its impact resistance and its slip-resistant surface profile, both at the same time. It’s not a residential coating, it’s a commercial-grade system priced accordingly.
Common Colored Quartz Epoxy Applications
Steadfast installs colored quartz epoxy systems across the Permian Basin and broader West Texas. Common applications include the following, but the right system depends on the specific environment, traffic load, and any chemical or impact exposure.
Commercial Kitchens
Restaurant cook lines, dish pits, and prep areas with hot oil, grease, and constant moisture.
Locker Rooms & Showers
Gym, school, and athletic facility wet areas needing slip resistance and chemical tolerance.
Dairy & Food Processing
Production floors with frequent steam wash-down and food-grade cleaning chemicals.
Hospital Wet Rooms
Surgical prep, decontamination rooms, and healthcare environments needing sanitary high-impact flooring.
School & University Cafeterias
High-traffic food service environments with daily heavy cleaning and impact loading.
Pet Grooming & Veterinary
Animal-care environments with chemical cleaning, dropped equipment, and slip-resistance requirements.

Three Things That Set This Install Apart
Impact Resistance That Lasts
Quartz aggregate creates a structurally dense floor. Dropped pots, dragged carts, and rolling equipment that would chip a thinner coating just bounce off this system. Built for the abuse a working kitchen actually delivers.
Inherent Slip Resistance
The aggregate texture creates an OSHA-compliant slip-resistant surface without adding a separate anti-slip topcoat. Critical for wet kitchens, locker rooms, and any space with food-grade safety requirements.
Thermal Shock Tolerance
Quartz systems handle the temperature swings that destroy basic epoxy: hot grease, steam wash-down, and the freeze-thaw cycle of walk-in cooler entries. Standard epoxy systems crack under thermal shock; quartz holds.

Colored Quartz Epoxy Common Questions
Is colored quartz the same as flake epoxy?
No. Flake uses vinyl chips broadcast into the surface for visual texture. Quartz uses colored silica aggregate that’s much harder, denser, and adds significant structural thickness. Quartz is a commercial-grade system; flake is residential and light-commercial.
How thick is a quartz epoxy system?
Standard quartz builds run 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick total. That’s 5 to 10 times thicker than a residential flake floor. The thickness is what gives the system its impact resistance and its slip-resistant surface profile.
What does quartz epoxy cost compared to flake?
Every floor is priced by what it actually needs: the square footage, the condition of the slab, how much prep it takes, and the system you pick. The written quote breaks all of that out line by line so you can see exactly where yours lands.
How long does a quartz install take?
Most commercial quartz installs take 3 to 5 days depending on square footage. Each coat needs 12 to 24 hours of cure before the next one. We sequence around restaurant or facility schedules whenever possible to minimize downtime.
Can quartz be installed in a residential setting?
Technically yes, but it’s overkill for most homes. Residential garages do well on flake or metallic. Quartz makes sense in residential workshops, mechanical bays, or any home environment where commercial-grade abuse will hit the floor.
Is quartz epoxy easy to clean?
Yes. The aggregate texture does collect more debris than a smooth-finish floor, but the topcoat seals the entire surface, so commercial mopping and pressure-washing handle daily cleaning. Expect a slightly different cleaning routine than a smooth surface, but no special chemicals required.
