ABSTRACT:
In a method of preparing a composite flooring, a quantity of small stones is mixed with a predetermined quantity of liquid colorant in a mixing device for a predetermined period of time, to produce colored stones. The stones and colorant are in a ratio of about 400 lbs of stone to about 1 gallon of colorant. The colored stones are dried and are mixed with an epoxy resin. The mix of stones and epoxy resin is poured onto a floor surface and leveled, for example by troweling. One or more epoxy seal layers are thereafter preferably applied, and a wear layer of polyurethane is preferably applied over the one or more seal layers. A flooring sheet displaying a design, for use in a flooring system, is made by projecting an image of a predetermined design to be reproduced on a sheet surface; outlining said projected image on the sheet surface; providing raised divider members on said sheet surface, along said outline to define a divided design on said sheet surface, said divided design having sections which are to have given colors; and then pouring a mixture of color dyed stones and an epoxy resin into said sections of said divided design to reproduce colored portions of said design in said sections, to thereby form a design sheet member, which may be included in an above-described floor which is poured therearound.
