Learn how this resinous flooring system can help you win more commercial projects. 

Did you know that the flooring market is projected to grow from $3.2 billion in 2023 to over $5 billion by 2030? APF Polymer Surfaces can help you break into the floor coatings industry with options that help you balance aesthetics, performance and cost for your customers. In a recent episode of CoatingsCast™, Megan Ellsworth sat down with Ryan Zabel to learn about APF Terrazzo Flakes, a cost-effective, high-performance flooring solution contractors can rely on. 

“Our Terrazzo polymer flake is a hybrid,” Ryan explained. “It consists of flake sizes from 1/16 inch to ¼ inch, and that’s how you can create that three-dimensional, high-end look and nice depth when you look into that floor.”  

In commercial spaces, maintenance is as important as appearance. Terrazzo Flakes provide a continuous, joint-free surface that makes daily cleaning simple and prevents the buildup of bacteria and grime. 

“Typical drywall or other walling solutions are not going to be a monolithic waterproof solution for you,” Ryan shared. “We can actually create a room that is leak proof at the end of the day.” From healthcare facilities and veterinary clinics to restaurants and correctional institutions, you can count on this resinous flooring system to stand up to the toughest conditions. 

Terrazzo Flakes deliver the classic terrazzo look at a fraction of the cost of traditional installations. You can choose from 20 blends, offering both subtle and bold design options to fit nearly any commercial project. 

APF even offers a glow-in-the-dark flake blend that combines function and aesthetics. “I’ve applied this one-of-a-kind blend many times,” said Ryan. “By adding the glow-in-the dark flake to the blend and to the build coat, it creates that wow factor when the lights are turned off.” This blend has been used for bike trails, hospitality features and safety pathways, showing just how versatile the system can be. 

“If you can think it, if you have an imagination, we can usually create a solution for you that’s going to work,” Ryan emphasized.
