Hello from MadJack Concrete Coatings! Nestled in the stunning Great Smoky Mountains, we had the fantastic opportunity to host the creative team from Surface Marketing Pros (SMP) at our location. It was a day filled with sharing insights, exploring innovative coating techniques, and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding us. Each moment was a learning opportunity, as we exchanged ideas and delved deep into the technical aspects of our work. Join us as we recap the visit from SMP, where we delved into the intricate world of concrete coatings together, uncovering new possibilities and forging connections that bridge our expertise with their creative vision!
Welcoming SMP to Our World
The day kicked off with a warm greeting for the SMP team, who were eager to learn about the specialized services we offer. As we walked them through our scenic site, it was clear that their enthusiasm matched our passion for transforming ordinary spaces into spectacular ones. “I might be using the wrong terminology, but these are basically samples,” I joked as I introduced them to our array of flake samples, sparking our first of many engaging discussions.
Showcasing Our Specialty: Blended Flakes
During our tour, we took a moment to showcase our blended flakes, a customer favorite for those seeking a subtler yet refined look. We shared how these blends are not just about aesthetic appeal but are carefully crafted to meet diverse client needs, enhancing both the functionality and beauty of their spaces. Our conversation was rich with technical details, perfectly suited for the curious minds of the SMP team.
The Technical Side: Broadcasting Flakes
One of the highlights of our demonstration was the broadcasting process. Explaining the nuances, I noted, “Broadcasting to rejection…you don’t want it splotchy,” emphasizing the precision required to achieve a flawless finish. The SMP team was captivated by the meticulous technique, appreciating the blend of art and science that goes into each floor.
Durability and Safety: Beyond the Surface
As safety and durability are paramount in our work, we discussed the importance of our top coat process, which includes anti-slip additives. “It’s a little bit of a different technique because the flakes are different weights,” I explained, detailing how we ensure that each project not only looks good but is built to last and safe for all who tread on it.
The Cool Factor: Making a Mark on Comfort
We also touched on how our products stand up to the mountain heat, demonstrating with a thermometer the significant temperature difference between treated and untreated concrete. “The coating… was about 94° F… much cooler,” I proudly shared, illustrating the practical benefits of our coatings in enhancing comfort in outdoor living areas.
Easy Upkeep and Eco-Friendly Practices
Our commitment to sustainability and ease of maintenance was a key part of the discussions. I highlighted, “It’s very durable, which like epoxy, you start pressure washing, you get that little chip in it, man, it’s coming up,” explaining how our products offer long-lasting beauty without the environmental toll.
Wrapping Up: A Productive Encounter
As our day with SMP drew to a close, with plans for a hearty meal at the local favorite B’s steakhouse, we reflected on the productive exchange of ideas and the new friendships formed. We were thrilled to share our expertise and equally excited to see how SMP would translate this experience into their narratives.
