Thorough surface preparation is critical and one of the key elements to a flawless epoxy finish. At BOWBAR, we take the time to make sure its done right the first time. We won't start applying our epoxy system until we've done all the work to make sure your floor has passed our Quality Surface Preparation Inspection, which includes the following quality standards:  

​

Concrete is PH tested and has a PH within 6.5-9.9 for optimal adhesion

Surface is fully cleaned, free of any loose dirt and debris 

Concrete diamond grinding is complete, exposing the pores or the concrete surface

All large cracks have been prepped, creating a valley in the surface to be filled with concrete repair resin

All chips and/or cracks are filled with Slab Flex, a commercial grade two-part epoxy-based polymer

Entire surface is evenly coated with a moisture and vapor barrier primer, no untreated areas exist​
