shockm.... red9thirty,

I think I was looking at something like this the other day that an independant contractor was putting down. Is this like crushed stone, or pebbles, or in some cases offered in granite chips which is set in some kind of an epoxy?

Goes on almost like a paste that is then worked out smooth woth a trowel.. sits up in about 14 to 24hrs?

Thanks

Yep. Multiple stone options - size, color, etc. Stone mixed with epoxy kinda like rice crispy treats when put down. Harder then concrete after cured - one week in colder weather. My garage looks more like a retail showroom than.

Yes. As I recall, it was ~ $6.50 a square foot. The finished product looks great. Sadly, their customer service sucked!

Not to throw a wet blanket on the line here but a neighbor had this floor put in his garage and several chunks came up where it did not bond well with the old concrete floor. It was repaired but was visible as a repair. The most common area is where the front tires rest after the car is parked. Especially if the tires are wet and if you have to break a lot as you approach your garage, ie; live at the bottom of a long hill. The reason told to me was that the heat from the tires causes steam to be produced and bathes the area under the tire in very hot vapor over and over again. Maybe they have better epoxy now than they did then but it looks like the same product. It looks great but make sure you get a damn good warranty that covers ALL delamination problems.
