Textured Floors That Handle Moisture and Traffic

Color quartz sand flooring systems throughout Minnesota that combine slip resistance with long-term durability.

If you have a space where wet floors or heavy foot traffic create safety concerns, quartz aggregate flooring gives you a textured surface that resists slipping while holding up to chemical exposure and constant use. In Thief River Falls, this type of flooring works well in garages, commercial kitchens, locker rooms, and any area where moisture is a regular issue.

Concrete Designs installs broadcast quartz systems by spreading colored quartz particles into a resin base, then sealing the surface once cured. The result is a floor that stays slip-resistant even when wet and does not wear down the way painted or bare concrete does. You can choose from a range of color combinations to match your space while keeping the floor functional.

How Quartz Aggregate Flooring Gets Applied

The installation begins with surface preparation, which includes cleaning and profiling the concrete so the resin bonds properly. In Thief River Falls, this step ensures that the system adheres even in areas with temperature swings or existing surface wear.

Once the base coat is applied, colored quartz particles are broadcast across the wet resin until the surface is fully covered. After curing, excess quartz is removed and a topcoat seals everything in place. What you are left with is a textured floor that does not become slick when water or oils land on it, and the quartz layer resists abrasion from carts, tools, or foot traffic.

This system is built for durability in wet or high-traffic environments, but it does require proper surface prep to perform as intended. It is not designed to cover significant cracks or structural damage, so the underlying concrete needs to be in good condition before installation.

Common Questions Before You Commit

People usually want to know how the texture feels underfoot, whether the color will fade, and how the floor holds up in spaces that see daily wear before they move forward with quartz flooring.

What does the textured surface feel like to walk on?
The surface has a gritty, sandpaper-like texture that provides traction without being uncomfortable. It is firm underfoot and does not shift or wear smooth over time like some coatings do.
How does this flooring handle chemicals or cleaning products?
Quartz aggregate systems resist most common chemicals, including oils, solvents, and cleaning agents. You can clean the floor with standard commercial cleaners without damaging the surface or breaking down the resin.
Why would you choose quartz flooring over epoxy alone?
Quartz adds slip resistance and impact durability that smooth epoxy does not provide. If your space gets wet regularly or sees heavy equipment, the textured surface keeps traction and resists wear better than a glossy coating.
How long does the installation process take?
Most quartz flooring installations in Thief River Falls take one to three days depending on the size of the area and curing conditions. You can typically use the floor within 24 to 48 hours after the final topcoat is applied.
Will the color fade if the floor is exposed to sunlight?
The quartz itself is UV-stable and does not fade, but the topcoat may yellow slightly over time if exposed to direct sunlight. For indoor spaces without heavy UV exposure, color remains consistent for years.
