A thing of beauty, concrete steps restored using a Milwaukee grinder. #milwaukee #tools #torginol
What happens here
Following the removal of excess flakes, a worker applies a clear liquid coating to the flaked concrete stair surface using a small paint roller mounted on a handle. This clear coat, typically an epoxy or polyaspartic topcoat, serves to seal the decorative flakes, protect the underlying epoxy from abrasion and chemicals, and provide a durable, glossy, and easily cleanable finish. The worker meticulously rolls the liquid to ensure even coverage across the stair treads and risers.
Goal: Seal and protect the epoxy flake system with a clear coating.
