Epoxy flooring is one type within the broader category of high-performance resinous coatings. T.W. Hicks installs a full range of resinous systems epoxy base coats, urethane topcoats, and resurfacing mortars each selected based on the chemical exposure, impact loads, temperature ranges, and hygiene requirements of the specific facility. For example, food & beverage facilities often require urethane mortar systems for thermal shock resistance, while pharmaceutical and healthcare environments prioritize seamless, easy-to-sanitize epoxy surfaces.

Polish and seal concrete is a process where an existing concrete floor is mechanically ground using diamond tooling to a smooth, glossy finish, then sealed with a protective coating that resists staining, moisture, and wear. It is a fast, cost-effective way to protect floors while offering a wide range of customizable colors and finishes. T.W. Hicks's polished, stained, and sealed concrete services are well suited for warehouses, distribution centers, retail spaces, automotive facilities, and multi-family properties.

Both are excellent options depending on the environment. Polish and seal concrete is ideal for facilities that need a cost-effective, low-maintenance, aesthetically attractive floor that enhances lighting such as showrooms, offices, distribution centers, and multi-family lobbies. High-performance coatings like epoxy and urethane are better suited for environments with heavy chemical exposure, thermal cycling, or strict hygiene requirements such as food processing plants, pharmaceutical labs, and aviation hangars. T.W. Hicks helps clients select the right system based on their specific operational demands.

Gypsum concrete underlayment (gypcrete) is a lightweight, self-leveling mixture poured over subfloors to create a smooth, flat, fire-resistant, and sound-dampening base before finished flooring is installed. It is a standard specification for multi-family housing, hotels, mixed-use developments, and commercial buildings where sound control between floors, fire-rated assemblies, and floor leveling are required.

Yes. Gypsum concrete floor underlayment installations can be enhanced with additional services, including floor leveling to correct uneven subfloors, sound control systems using acoustic mats to meet IIC and STC code requirements, and waterproofing to protect the floor assembly from moisture. These services integrate directly into the underlayment process, providing a complete, code-compliant floor system in a single engagement.
