Every Reserve installation follows the same six-stage protocol — documented here so you know exactly what you're paying for.
How a Reserve floor is built
Every Reserve installation follows the same six-stage protocol — moisture testing, oil contamination assessment, diamond grinding, crack and joint repair, polyurea broadcast, polyaspartic topcoat.
01 · Moisture testing
We measure substrate moisture vapor emission before any coating. Elevated readings trigger remediation — never a cover-up.
02 · Oil & petroleum contamination
Garages and industrial bays get solvent extraction and profiling where petroleum has saturated the slab.
03 · Diamond grinding
Mechanical profiling opens the pore structure for mechanical bond. No acid etch shortcuts.
04 · Crack & joint repair
Control joints and spalls are filled with compatible epoxies so movement doesn't telegraph through the finish.
05 · Polyurea broadcast
Polyurea primer penetrates the slab. Flake or metallic pigment is hand-broadcast wet into the base coat.
06 · Polyaspartic topcoat
UV-stable, antimicrobial clear coat. Walk on it the next morning.
