Epoxy Flooring Services
Roll On Rock is a brand name for an epoxy flake flooring system manufactured by Versatile High-Performance Coatings. This decorative coating is known for its durability and aesthetic appeal, and can be applied to residential, commercial, and industrial concrete floors.
How The Roll On Rock System Works
The Roll On Rock system uses multiple components to achieve its final look and strength.
Proprietary Epoxy Base Coat: A pigmented, 95% solids epoxy is applied first. According to Versatile Building Products, this epoxy "wicks" deep into the concrete, creating a strong mechanical bond that can handle high moisture vapor emissions.
Decorative Flakes: Once the base coat is applied, multicolored vinyl flakes are broadcast to "rejection," meaning the entire surface is covered with flakes. This creFates the system's characteristic speckled, granite-like appearance. Polyaspartic topcoat: A clear, durable topcoat is applied after the excess flakes are scraped off. This locks in the flakes, provides a high-gloss finish, and protects the floor from abrasion, impact, and UV exposure.

Key Features and Benefits Of Epoxy Flooring
Key benefits of the Roll On Rock epoxy system include superior durability, moisture resistance, easy maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. The manufacturer, Versatile High-Performance Coatings, claims its epoxy base coat is up to three times stronger than ordinary epoxy due to its advanced wicking technology.
Superior Bond Strength: The proprietary 4195 epoxy base coat is formulated to penetrate deep into the concrete, creating a bond with a higher tensile strength than standard epoxy products.
Commercial-Grade Durability: Once cured, the system creates an incredibly resilient surface that is resistant to abrasions, impacts, and heavy traffic. The final polyurea or polyaspartic topcoat is also highly scratch-resistant.
Chemical Resistance: The coatings resist most common chemicals and fluids found in a garage, such as oil, gas, and salt.
Moisture Resistance: The 4195 epoxy base is resistant to moisture vapor emissions (MVE) and can withstand up to 8 pounds of pressure, which is double the industry standard for many other high-solids epoxies.
UV and Hot Tire Resistance: The polyurea or polyaspartic topcoat is designed to be UV-stable, preventing discoloration or yellowing from sunlight exposure. It also resists damage from hot tires, a common issue with lower-quality garage floor coatings.
