Why Use Us

Here at Aloha Bath and Flooring take pride in the refinishing/reglazing work we do. We use a refinishing process that has evolved over Forty, yes, that’s 40+ years of experience. No other company has it. It’s an ever evolving process that years and years of experience has dictated and developed. Our process has been evolving since 1979, my father first began refinishing on the islands.

Hawaii, like all places is unique to its location. Weather, temperatures, humidity, salt air, etc. require methods and products used to be specifically adapted to the area. Otherwise, the refinishing fails. The new surface won't properly adhere. Or it will not wear to it maximum capability. Over the years we have observed, experimented and, adjusted our process of refinishing to give you the best possible finished product that in home bath refinishing will allow.

Part of our system has dictated that we use a product called Glas-Tech 9000™. It is a remarkable time tested material that was developed specifically for bathtub and tiled wall finishing. It has proven to work on all other surfaces just as well. We can resurface any type of bath, shower or countertop: Porcelain, Ceramic Tile, Fiberglass, Acrylic, Corian you name it we can refinish it.

The secret lies in the ability of the compounds to fuse themselves into the original surface through a molecular bonding action. The new finish becomes a permanent part of the old existing fixture, unlike bathtub liners, which can crack, trapping unsanitary water and creating a health hazard.

Remember, not all refinishing products and preparation are alike. All companies in the industry are not the same. Check all our competitors out, then come back to us. Our refinishing products and especially the experience gained over decades of hard work have allowed us developed a bath refinishing process that is 2nd to none.

Because some of you folks like details the following is offered:

Our product, Glas-Tech 9000 was tested by a non-biased laboratory and compared to other refinishing products on the market. It, Glass-Tech 9000, was rated the best because of the following:

% Crosslink Density

There are five distinctly different types of urethanes, but virtually all the major coating manufacturers will agree, and extensive industry use has shown, that a fully crosslinked aliphatic, ASTM TYPE 5 urethane is the most durable, and most practical long term finish available today.

Since GLAS-TECH 9000, our product, is a very high crosslinked system, it offers the most long term value as compared to other coatings such as lowlink urethanes, polyesters, epoxy’s, or enamels now available.

Formula Characteristics
Film Hardness
Aliphatic urethane coatings were introduced to the U.S. in the 60's primarily for the aerospace industry to protect surfaces that were subjected to sand and ice particles at hundreds of miles per hour, GLAS-TECH 9000 is the most resilient and the most popular of these types or urethanes.

The impact durability of GLAS-TECH 9000 is superior to other types of coatings and is rated 10 in scuff and mar tests. This durability translates to a tough coating that takes constant abuse with minimum wear.

High Gloss

A distinct advantage of a high crosslinking aliphatic urethane, like GLAS-TECH 9000, is the "resin-rich" wear layer that forms at the surface during the curing cycle. This layer forms at the surface during the curing cycle. This layer provides long term protection for the pigment particles, improves color and gloss retention and gives that deep, rich gloss finish.

Chemical and Solvent Resistance

In addition to providing aesthetic qualities, this "resin-rich" wear layer also provides a versatile barrier to all forms of punishment from caustic acids, abrasives, solvents in cosmetics, dyes, etc., that are known to stain, destroy, or limit the lifespan of most refinishing products used on the market today.

UV Screening Agents
GLAS-TECH 9000 has ultraviolet light screening agents U.V.R. and ULTRABLOCK protecting the surface against harmful light radiation which will turn many coatings, particularly epoxys, prematurely yellow. The 9000 formula extends the lifespan of your refinished product by keeping the finish bright and colorfast, which guarantees long term customer satisfaction.

Adhesion

Our system offers a precisely cross-linked cured coating system, topcoat to primer, primer to substrate. The super performance of GLAS-TECH 9000 is a direct result of not just the premium urethane itself, but the capability of the primer system to support the topcoat. This system is truly the most effective for refinishing, particularly in the porcelain and ceramic field.
