Minneapolis Decorative Concrete Floor Design by GF1 Coatings
Minneapolis Decorative Concrete Floor Design
Joe Sheehan, owner of GF One Coatings in Minneapolis, approaches decorative concrete floor design from the bottom up rather than the top down. That’s a novel perspective. Anyone can deliver a nice looking floor. But will it still look nice tomorrow? How about in six months, or 6 years?

Delivering a floor that lasts starts with the concrete and what is below. If your floor has excessive moisture most concrete coatings will deteriorate (See Article, How To Waterproof Concrete Floors). Then the condition of the concrete needs to be assessed. If there are cracks they need to be properly fixed (see article, How To Fix a Concrete Floor). Unless the concrete is properly prepared for a coating your floor is at risk. It may look sensational when it’s done but what about later?
The GF One Coatings process starts with making 100% sure the surface they are coating is ready for a decorative top coat. The floor is ground smooth, cracks and blemishes repaired. If this is done correctly your decorative concrete floor design will be imperfection free. This part of the process is a big part of application expense.
The second biggest application expense is the top coat. Typically a polyaspatic application has 2 coats. It’s the top coat that uses the most product. A thin top coat looks great, but a thick top coat looks great and will endure for years. A thick top coat can account for 50% of material costs. GF One Coatings has developed their reputation as the premium quality professional and why they have hundreds of very happy customers. It also explains why they can offer long term warranty’s with each project.
High build top coats make it easy to clean abrasion damaging sand and dirt while maintaining a legal level of slip resistance (coefficient of friction). Slip and fall lawsuits are one of the largest problems in commercial spaces and a problem on garage floors. A high build top coat enables GF1 to deliver a decorative concrete floor design with slip resistance exceeding federal guidelines.
GF1 specializes in residential and commercial projects in the Minneapolis metro and surrounding areas. Projects range from simple grey or tan solid clor applications to highly decorative concrete in high traffic restaurants, retail stores, shopping centers and industrial buildings.
