Why Choosing a Professional for Flooring is the Best Solution
1. Proper Surface Preparation is Key for Successful Flooring Installation
The success of any flooring system installation on concrete starts with proper surface preparation. Whether it’s epoxy, polyurethane, or any other coating, getting the concrete surface ready is the most critical step. This includes:
- Grinding and Dusting Off the Concrete: Ensuring the surface is clean, smooth, and free of contaminants.
- Repairing Cracks and Imperfections: Addressing any damage in the concrete to create a solid base for the coating.
- Checking Moisture Levels: Concrete is naturally porous, and moisture can negatively affect coatings. It”s essential to check moisture levels and, if needed, apply a moisture barrier to prevent issues later on.
Without thorough preparation, even the highest-quality materials won”t perform as intended. Mistakes made during this stage can result in problems such as:
- Peeling and Bubbling: Poor adhesion between the concrete and the coating.
- Premature Wear: The floor will degrade faster than expected, compromising its longevity and appearance.
- Cracking and Delaminating: Uneven surfaces or leftover moisture can lead to failures in the coating.
By prioritizing proper surface preparation, we ensure that your flooring system adheres correctly and performs optimally throughout its lifespan. It”s an investment in both the appearance and durability of your floor.
Where It’s Crucial to Hire a Professional
- Commercial Spaces — High durability, safety, and visual appeal are essential in these settings.
- Garages and Workshops — The flooring needs to withstand chemicals, oils, and abrasives.
- Kitchens and Bathrooms — Moisture resistance and temperature stability are a must.
- Living Rooms and Residential Areas — Aesthetic and long-lasting solutions.
- Business Spaces with Logos and Custom Designs — Everything needs to be precisely executed to match the branding.
2. Precision Application — Only for Experienced Hands
Each flooring material has its own unique application and preparation requirements, and often, the success of the final result hinges on how well the surface is prepared and the precision of the application.
For instance, microcement is applied by hand, and without proper knowledge of the techniques involved, you can easily waste time and money. Without experience, you might end up with an uneven, unattractive finish. Professional epoxy installers know the right tools, handling techniques, and application methods to ensure smooth, flawless results.
When it comes to epoxy installation, particularly metallic epoxy flooring, the importance of precise ratios, temperatures, and pot life cannot be overstated. Mixing epoxy materials correctly is critical to avoid issues like poor adhesion, uneven curing, or a finish that doesn’t match expectations. Metallic epoxy requires an expert touch, especially since the visual effects depend on careful movements and precise control during the application. Every movement of the installer”s hand contributes to the final pattern, which is why replicating the intricate marbled or flowing designs seen in professional installations is virtually impossible for DIY enthusiasts.
Moreover, concrete coatings like epoxy can easily be compromised if not mixed and applied under the right conditions, such as maintaining the proper temperature and humidity levels. Incorrect curing times or mixing ratios can cause imperfections such as bubbling, cracking, or discoloration, leaving you with an end result that won’t stand the test of time.
Ultimately, while DIY projects can be tempting, proper epoxy installation of decorative flooring systems is a complex process that demands experience. Entrusting the job to trained professionals ensures a flawless finish and avoids costly mistakes, especially for high-traffic areas like commercial garage floors where durability is key.
3. Professional-Grade Tools and Materials
At AD Technology, we use only the best equipment and premium materials available in the industry to ensure that every project meets the highest standards of durability and visual appeal. From industrial-grade mixers to high-quality trowels and rollers, our professional-grade tools are essential to achieving the precision and quality that DIY enthusiasts often struggle to replicate.
When it comes to the materials we use, we don’t settle for anything less than the best. We work with trusted suppliers like Surecrete, Sherwin-Williams, MPCCoatings, Torginol, and many more. These suppliers provide high-performance products that have been tried and tested to withstand the rigorous demands of both residential and commercial flooring installations.
DIY enthusiasts often lack access to these industrial-grade materials and may resort to inferior products, which can affect the longevity, appearance, and performance of the flooring system. Even with the best intentions, improper materials can result in issues like poor adhesion, fading, bubbling, and other problems that professionals are trained to avoid.
At AD Technology, we not only know which materials to use, but also how to use them properly. For example, Surecrete”s high-performance epoxy is perfect for creating long-lasting, durable coatings, while Torginol”s color chips and metallic powders allow us to create customized finishes that give your floor a stunning, one-of-a-kind look. By choosing the right materials for each project, we ensure optimal results that will last for years to come.
Understanding the science behind each material and why it works in specific applications is key to creating flawless flooring. For example, Sherwin-Williams’ products are ideal for their chemical resistance and long-lasting durability in high-traffic areas, while MPC-Coatings provides exceptional moisture resistance for environments like basements and garages. Each material has its own unique properties, and we know exactly when and how to use them to ensure the best outcome.
With our knowledge and access to these industry-leading materials, we can guarantee that your floors will not only look beautiful but also perform to the highest standards.
4. Warranty and Longevity
At AD Technology, we don”t just install floors — we stand behind our work. When you choose us for your flooring project, you gain not only a visually stunning floor but also the peace of mind that comes with knowing your floor is built to last. We understand that flooring is a long-term investment, which is why we offer a warranty on our installation to ensure your investment remains protected.
We also guarantee that the materials we use are of the highest quality and will perform as expected.

We believe in the quality of the materials we work with, and if something doesn”t meet our standards, we”ll take care of it immediately.
Your project is personal to us, and we are committed to delivering a flawless result that meets your expectations. We ensure that your floor will not only look beautiful but will stand the test of time, even under heavy foot traffic or demanding conditions.

Our Flooring & Coating Solutions
We offer a wide range of flooring systems and coatings to suit every need, from residential to commercial applications. Each flooring solution is designed for durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting performance.
Epoxy Systems
Epoxy coatings are a popular choice for both residential and commercial settings due to their durability, chemical resistance, and polished finish. We offer various types of epoxy systems tailored to different requirements:
- Flake Epoxy: This system incorporates colored flakes that are broadcast onto the surface, creating a decorative, textured finish. Ideal for garages, basements, and commercial spaces, it provides excellent durability and slip resistance.
- Solid Color Epoxy: Provides a sleek, seamless look with solid color coverage. This system is perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, warehouses, residential and commercial garages and more. The epoxy is highly resistant to stains, moisture, and chemicals.
- Metallic Epoxy: Known for its stunning visual effects, metallic epoxy creates a 3D effect, making it a true work of art for your floors. This solution is often used in living rooms, basements, bathrooms, and garages, offering both beauty and durability.
- Marble Effect Epoxy: Ideal for creating a sophisticated, high-end appearance, the marble effect epoxy provides a luxurious aesthetic. This is perfect for residential spaces like living rooms or offices.
- Broadcast Sand Systems: This system involves broadcasting sand onto a base layer of epoxy to provide a rougher texture. It is particularly useful in industrial and commercial spaces, where slip resistance and durability are paramount.
- Moisture Vapor Barrier (Epoxy-based): Essential for preventing moisture from penetrating the concrete substrate, this system is an important step before applying final coatings in garages, basements, or commercial spaces. It ensures adherence of the floor system and prevents damage caused by moisture.
Urethane & Hybrid Systems
Urethane coatings are known for their flexibility, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Our urethane-based systems are designed to provide long-lasting protection for floors in both residential and industrial environments.
- Urethane Cement: A high-performance system designed for industrial environments where floors experience heavy traffic, chemical exposure, and high temperatures. Urethane cement provides a seamless, durable finish.
- Polyurea Coatings: These are fast-curing coatings that offer high flexibility, making them ideal for areas that may undergo frequent shifts in temperature or need high abrasion resistance. They are widely used in garage floors, parking lots, and commercial environments.
- Polyurethane Topcoats: These coatings are used as a final layer for added protection, offering resistance to scratches, abrasion, and chemicals. They are commonly applied in high-traffic areas where long-term durability is a concern.
Decorative & Cementitious Finishes
- For those seeking unique, customized flooring, we offer several decorative finishes that combine style and function:
- Microcement & Microtopping: These thin, flexible coatings allow you to overlay existing surfaces without tearing them out. This system creates a smooth, modern finish ideal for walls and floors in residential and commercial spaces.
- Polished Concrete: A sleek, low-maintenance option, polished concrete floors have become increasingly popular in modern homes and commercial spaces. They provide a long-lasting finish with a shiny, reflective surface that”s easy to clean and maintain.
- – Concrete Staining: This decorative finish adds rich color and depth to concrete surfaces. Stained concrete is an excellent choice for areas that need a customized look, such as patios, living rooms, and commercial floors.
- – Grinded and Sealed Concrete: For a more industrial look, grinded and sealed concrete offers a polished, natural concrete finish. It”s easy to maintain and perfect for spaces like warehouses, basements, and lofts.
- – Broom Finish: A practical and slip-resistant finish, broomed concrete is commonly used for driveways, walkways, and pool decks. It”s ideal for outdoor environments due to its texture and durability.
- – Concrete Resurfacing & Installation: When existing concrete surfaces are worn or damaged, concrete resurfacing offers an affordable way to restore them. This system can add a new, functional, and stylish overlay to old concrete floors in garages, basements, or commercial spaces.
Floor Leveling
A level surface is crucial for any flooring installation. Floor leveling services are essential for correcting uneven concrete surfaces, making them ideal for the application of various flooring systems, including epoxy coatings. Without proper floor leveling, even the highest quality flooring materials may fail to adhere properly or may not perform as expected.
In many cases, leveling the floor is the first step in preparing for other flooring installations, such as epoxy flooring, microcement, tile or vinyl. However, in some instances, floor leveling can be the end result itself. Self-leveling compounds can create a smooth, durable surface that can even be painted directly. This makes it a versatile option for spaces that need a quick, effective solution for uneven concrete.
By leveling the floor first, you eliminate the risk of cracks, dips, or bumps that may affect the overall performance of the flooring over time. Floor leveling services are often a necessary step before applying decorative or protective coatings and can even serve as a standalone solution in certain scenarios, offering a smooth surface that can be painted and customized.
Other Specialized Systems
- Poured-in-Place Rubber Flooring: Ideal for areas that require shock absorption and comfort, poured-in-place rubber flooring is perfect for gyms, playgrounds, and other high-traffic areas. This system provides excellent durability and is highly customizable in terms of color and design.
Custom Floor Designs with a Professional Touch
Our artistic flooring solutions include embedded materials, stamping, and even logo installation for businesses. We bring your vision to life with custom floor design, whether it”s for a stylish basement floor, a creative garage flooring solution, or a branded commercial epoxy installation. We also provide moisture vapor barrier coatings that help protect against concrete moisture before applying the final flooring. This extra step ensures longevity and better adhesion for your floor system—especially crucial in areas like basements, garages, and bathrooms.
