Poured flooring can come in different formulations including acrylic, urethane, epoxy, self-leveling, and flexible systems. The sub-floor is prepared by stripping all old flooring, dirt, adhesive, and grease away and grinding, sanding, or patching the floor until it forms a smooth level base for the poured flooring. Then, the poured flooring is applied in thin layers with special equipment. There is a wide assortment of decorative chips that are added to the base coats in an allover design or a custom decorative pattern. A company logo can be included in the decorative surface design. Then, a final protective layer is applied and allowed to dry. Last, the whole floor is polished to a smooth glowing finish.
