Primer, self-leveling 100% solids epoxy, sand broadcast, polyaspartic armor — the 1/16-inch industrial system built for shops that actually work.
A four-layer, 1/16-inch build with a sand-broadcast texture — the standard for protecting concrete in working shops and manufacturing zones.
Some floors are decorative first. A shop floor is a tool. This is the system for spaces where machines run, parts drop, jacks roll, and the floor takes a beating every single day — auto shops, fabrication bays, hangars, and manufacturing zones all over the Coastal Empire.
The build starts with a penetrating 100% solids epoxy primer that soaks into the diamond-ground slab and anchors everything above it. Next comes the body of the system: a self-leveling 100% solids epoxy, pigmented (classic light gray is the industry standard) and applied thick, with silica sand broadcast into the wet resin. The sand does two jobs — it builds the floor to a full 1/16-inch thickness and creates the slip-resistant texture that keeps boots planted on an oily day. A pigmented polyaspartic topcoat locks the broadcast in with UV stability and serious chemical resistance.
The result is a floor with real numbers behind it: compressive strength over 11,000 PSI, tensile strength approaching 10,000 PSI, and a bond to the slab stronger than the concrete itself. Forklifts, two-post lifts, tool chests, steel drops — this is the system that takes it.
Flake floors are the customer-facing choice; shop floors trade the decorative broadcast for a sand-filled structural build that's thicker, tougher, and textured for traction. If your space is half showroom, half work bay, we'll often split the spec — flake up front, shop floor in the back — with a clean transition line where they meet.
Shop Floor System — Layer by Layer
Anywhere tough traffic, equipment, and fluids meet concrete — this is the spec.
A well-striped shop runs better. We build safety walkways, equipment zones, aisle lines, and hazard markings directly into the coating system — striped in contrasting color and sealed under the same chemical-resistant topcoat, so OSHA-style markings never scrape off under a pallet jack.
And nothing says "this shop has its act together" like a full-color company logo in the coating at the entrance or centered in the main bay. It's permanent, it's cleanable, and your customers will absolutely take pictures of it.

A thin, penetrating clear primer squeegeed tight into the ground concrete. It wets deep into the pores, chokes off outgassing bubbles, and gives the heavy body coat a perfect surface to fuse to — the quiet layer that makes the whole system permanent.
The structural heart of the floor. This thick-bodied, pigmented epoxy flows out to a uniform depth and carries the sand broadcast. With zero solvents, everything in the bucket becomes cured floor — that's how the system reaches its 1/16-inch build and its 11,600 PSI compressive strength.
Clean, graded silica sand broadcast into the wet epoxy until the surface is fully loaded. It reinforces the coating like aggregate reinforces concrete and leaves the finished floor with a uniform, non-slip texture. Want a decorative upgrade? Colored quartz swaps in for the sand with a clear topcoat over it.
The armor on top: a pigmented polyaspartic that locks in the broadcast, resists gasoline, brake fluid, transmission fluid, motor oil, and solvents, and holds its color under UV. It's also what makes cleanup easy — oil dry, degreaser, squeegee, done.
Ninety percent of coating failures trace back to poor preparation. That's why we never skip it — and never rush it.
Shop slabs are the hardest-working — and hardest-worked — concrete we prep. Years of oil, old paint, tire rubber, and patch jobs have to come off completely. Our 20–30 inch propane diamond grinders cut everything back to clean, sound concrete while SVX-series HEPA vacuums keep dust off your equipment and inventory. Oil-saturated zones get degreased and re-ground until the surface is bondable, and every crack and spall is repaired flush before priming.
Our 20–30 inch propane planetary diamond grinders profile the entire slab evenly — no cords, no missed spots, no shortcuts. Every floor is mechanically ground to the correct concrete surface profile (CSP) for the system going down on top of it.
Our SVX-series industrial HEPA vacuums connect directly to the grinders, capturing dust at the source. Your home or business stays clean, and the slab is left spotless and ready to bond.
Coastal Georgia slabs carry moisture. We test every floor for moisture vapor transmission before a drop of product goes down — and apply a dedicated moisture vapor barrier when the readings call for it.
Cracks, spalls, and pitting get patched with fast-setting repair mortars and ground flush. Expansion joints are honored so slab movement never telegraphs through your new floor.
A typical shop is a two-to-three-day install, phased or scheduled over a weekend so your bays keep earning.
We scope slab condition, oil contamination, and drains — and plan around your hours.
Full mechanical prep to CSP-3, HEPA dust extraction throughout.
Penetrating epoxy primer; cracks and spalls patched and ground flush.
Self-leveling epoxy with silica sand broadcast to full coverage.
Pigmented polyaspartic seal, then safety lines and logos.
"Frog Splash coated our entire auto shop — over 3,200 sq ft. They worked over a weekend so we lost zero business days. The floor has held up perfectly under daily vehicle and forklift traffic for over a year."
"We needed a USDA-compliant floor for our commercial kitchen. Frog Splash handled the spec, the coved base, and the whole installation without disrupting our lunch service. Health inspector approved on the first visit."
"Our warehouse had over 8,000 sq ft of damaged concrete. Frog Splash phased the work over two weekends — we never shut down. The floor is now completely transformed and we haven't had a maintenance issue since."
Frog Splash Coatings installs shop floor systems for garages, fleets, and industry across Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Statesboro, Hinesville, and Brunswick, Georgia — plus Bluffton and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
