Colored quartz granules broadcast into epoxy and sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat. It is the toughest, grippiest floor we install, built for places that are wet, greasy or worked hard every day: commercial kitchens, restrooms, kennels, shop floors, garage workshops, steps and ramps.
Water sits on top of a sealed quartz floor, and the texture underneath is what keeps your feet where you put them.
A quartz floor is a seamless epoxy floor coating in which colored quartz granules, a hard, sand-sized aggregate, are broadcast into wet epoxy until the floor is completely covered, then locked in under clear coats. The granules give the floor a uniform, fine-textured surface with more grip and more wear resistance than any other decorative coating.
JDS Concrete Coatings installs quartz epoxy flooring across Northeast Ohio, including Canton, Massillon, North Canton, Jackson Township, Green and Akron. Every quartz floor starts with diamond-ground concrete and a moisture-vapor-barrier epoxy base coat, and finishes under a clear polyaspartic topcoat.
Quartz texture is not one-size-fits-all. The more clear coat that goes over the granules, the smoother the floor gets. Drag the slider to see the trade-off between grip and easy cleaning.
Extra clear coat fills most of the texture. Best for basements, mudrooms, retail floors and offices, where people may be barefoot and you want a quick mop.
The all-round choice. Best for garage workshops, restrooms, locker rooms, kennels and most commercial floors.
The granules stand proud of the surface. Best for commercial kitchens, wash-down areas, ramps and steps, where the floor is wet or greasy most of the day.
The preview and ratings are a general guide, not a lab measurement. We bring the conversation to your actual floor at the on-site quote.
Quartz earns its keep anywhere a floor gets wet, gets greasy, or gets punished. Around Stark and Summit counties, that mostly means these.
Flake gives you a light texture. Quartz gives you real traction, because the surface is made of thousands of hard granules instead of flat chips. It is the finish we point people to when "slippery when wet" is not acceptable.
Quartz is usually broadcast twice, which makes it the thickest decorative system we install. The granules themselves are harder than the traffic that crosses them, so the floor wears slowly and evenly.
One continuous, non-porous surface from wall to wall. There is no grout to stain and no joints for water, grease or bacteria to work into, which is why quartz is a standard choice for food and animal-care spaces.
The fine, uniform pattern does not show traffic lanes, scuffs or small repairs the way a smooth or solid-color floor does. It is a working floor that keeps looking presentable without fuss.
Most of the strength in a quartz floor comes from doing the broadcast twice. Follow the steps and watch the cross-section stack up.
The slab is diamond-ground to open the surface and remove old paint, sealer or failed coatings. Cracks, pits and spalled areas are filled and ground flush.
A pigmented epoxy base coat seals the concrete against moisture coming up through the slab, and becomes the bed the first layer of quartz is thrown into.
Colored quartz is broadcast into the wet epoxy until the floor will not take any more. Once it cures, the loose granules are swept and vacuumed off.
Another coat of epoxy goes over the first layer of quartz and the floor is broadcast to refusal again. This double build is what gives quartz its thickness and its even, consistent look.
A clear coat is worked into the granules to lock them together and fill the gaps between them. How heavy this coat is decides how smooth or how aggressive the finished floor feels.
A clear, fast-curing polyaspartic topcoat seals the surface. It resists chemicals and abrasion, stays clear in sunlight, and is the layer that takes the daily wear.
It is the question we get most. Both start with the same prep and the same base coat. Here is how we would call it for you.
Nothing else we install holds footing as well once water or grease is involved.
Plenty of grip, easier to mop, and kinder on the budget. See epoxy flake floors.
The double-broadcast build is thicker and wears more slowly under real abuse.
Or quartz in a smooth texture. Aggressive quartz is not a barefoot floor.
Quartz and flake are working floors. For pure looks, see metallic epoxy floors.
Still not sure? Plenty of floors use both: flake across the main floor, with quartz on the steps, the ramp or the wash-down corner.
The same texture that grips your boots also grips a string mop. Quartz is easy to keep clean, as long as you clean it the right way.

JDS Concrete Coatings works out of Canal Fulton, a short drive from Massillon, Canton and the south side of Akron. For businesses, that covers the restaurants and shops of downtown Canton and the Belden Village area, Lincoln Way in Massillon, the Massillon Road corridor in Green, and the kitchens, clinics and halls in between. For homeowners, it covers garage workshops, mudrooms and basement entries from Navarre to Hartville.
Commercial floors can be phased around your hours, so a kitchen or a kennel does not have to close for longer than it needs to. Tell us your schedule and we will plan the install around it.

No. A quartz countertop is a factory-made slab of crushed stone and resin. A quartz floor is a liquid-applied epoxy coating with colored quartz granules broadcast into it on site. It is seamless, bonded directly to your concrete, and has a fine, sand-like texture rather than a polished stone look.
Quartz is the most slip-resistant floor JDS installs. The surface is made of hard granules that give traction even under water or grease, and the texture can be made more or less aggressive to suit the space. No floor is slip-proof, so spills and standing water should still be cleaned up.
It is easy to clean with the right tools. Textured floors snag string mops, so use a soft deck brush or a microfiber flat mop with a pH-neutral cleaner, then squeegee or wet-vac. If easy mopping is a priority, a smoother texture can be chosen when the floor is installed.
Yes. Quartz is normally broadcast twice, so it is a thicker system, and quartz granules are harder than vinyl flake. That makes it the better choice for heavy traffic, rolling loads and wet commercial spaces. For most home garages a full-broadcast flake floor is already more than durable enough.
It is one of the most common choices. Ohio's food safety code calls for kitchen floors that are smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable, and a sealed, seamless quartz floor is built to meet that description while still giving staff footing on a wet, greasy floor. Requirements vary, so confirm the details with your local health department before work starts.
Old paint, sealers and failed coatings are ground off as part of normal prep, because the base coat needs to bond to clean concrete. Tile is different. In most cases it has to come up first, since a coating is only as sound as what is underneath it. We will look at the floor and tell you what it needs at your quote.
Most residential-size quartz floors are installed over 1–2 days. Larger commercial floors are usually done in phases, planned around your opening hours so the space is closed for as little time as possible. We give you exact walk-on and return-to-service times at install.
Quartz uses more material and more labor than a flake floor, because it is broadcast twice, so it generally costs more for the same area. The final figure depends on square footage, slab condition, the texture you choose and whether the work has to be phased. JDS measures and inspects the floor in person and gives you a fixed quote. On-site quotes are free and there is no obligation.
A professionally installed quartz floor over diamond-ground concrete is built to last for years, even in hard commercial use, and JDS backs it with a written 4–5 year warranty. When the surface eventually dulls, the clear topcoat can usually be renewed without replacing the quartz underneath.
Water, grease, claws, carts or just a lot of boots. We'll look at the concrete, talk through texture and color, and give you a fixed quote. It's free, and there's no pressure to book.
