Polished GSPEC Epoxy-Urethane Cement Flooring

Introducing Polished GSPEC  — the first “Green Self-leveling Polyurethane-Epoxy Cement” overlay with a natural polished concrete look, the durability of a urethane and the chemical resistance of an epoxy, that won’t crack or stain like standard self-leveling cement and is manufactured with Ultra-low VOCs and no harmful isocyanates.

POLISHED GSPEC is a mixture of GSPEC resin and GSPEC cement. The resin used in POLISHED GSPEC is 45-60% stronger than typical epoxies and urethanes and has 50% better adhesion than most urethanes.  POLISHED GSPEC will provide you with a beautiful, decorative, extremely resilient and chemical resistant floor for many years.
