One Day - Flake System

One Day System Guide

System Design

The One Day – Flake System is a seamless decorative polyaspartic flake broadcast system engineered for quick return-to-service and cold-climate installations. This system utilizes a selection of a fast-cure basecoat, followed by a full flake broadcast to rejection, and then finished with a polyaspartic topcoat. This One Day – Flake System delivers excellent UV stability, long-term substrate adhesion, and a durable, decorative finish—making it an ideal choice for environments where minimal installation downtime is critical.

Caution

We highly recommend professional contractors first become confident applying our Two Day – Flake System before attempting the One Day – Flake System, as it is designed for advanced installers. 

Please reference all product Technical Data for working times & cure times along with Material Safety Data Sheets prior to use. Mock-ups are strongly recommended to validate appearance and performance prior to use.

Benefits of a One-Day Install System:

  1. Time-sensitive projects: One-day install systems are ideal for projects with tight schedules or situations where minimal downtime is required. These coatings allow for the completion of the flooring project within a short timeframe, minimizing disruptions to normal operations.
  2. Busy environments: In commercial, industrial, or residential spaces with heavy foot or vehicle traffic, a one-day install system can significantly reduce the time the area is out of service. This is particularly valuable in high-traffic areas, such as retail stores, warehouses, garages, and manufacturing facilities.
  3. Temperature sensitivity: Some rapid curing coatings are specifically designed to cure at lower temperatures, making them a suitable option for projects in cold or damp environments where standard coatings might not cure properly.
  4. Limited maintenance windows: For facilities that operate continuously or have limited maintenance periods, a one-day install system allows for the floor renovation to be completed quickly and efficiently, reducing the impact on the facility’s operations.
  5. Cost-effective solution: In some cases, the reduced downtime and quicker return to service provided by a one-day install system can offset the potential additional costs of the rapid curing materials. This can make it a more cost-effective option in situations where time is a critical factor.
  6. Durability and protection: One-day install systems still provide excellent durability and protection for your concrete floor, similar to traditional epoxy or polyurethane coatings. They resist impacts, abrasions, chemicals, and water penetration, extending the life of your floor.

Summary

A one-day install concrete floor coating system, also known as a rapid curing or fast-setting coating system, is designed for quick application and curing times.

 

You would typically choose a one-day install concrete floor coating system when you prioritize rapid installation and curing times, minimal downtime, and the need to maintain regular operations with limited interruptions. This type of system is well-suited for commercial, industrial, and residential settings where time is a critical factor or where the project must be completed within a narrow maintenance window.
