What’s Included in the Project

  • MVB Application – Moisture Vapor Barrier from Savage Patriot Polymers applied to prep the slab
  • Base Epoxy Primer Coat – ensures proper bonding for the next layer

Why Resin Was the Right Choice

  • Moisture Protection – stops bubbling, delamination, and future headaches
  • Stronger Bond – primer ensures the metallic coat adheres perfectly
  • Flawless Finish – what you don’t see makes all the difference
  • Slip Hazard Reality – yes, we walk like penguins for a reason
