Craftsman Concrete Floors is an Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer covering the full SW HPF urethane cement portfolio across three product families: Poly-Crete, FasTop, and Hybri-Flex. Spec engineers and facility managers landing on a specific product code — Poly-Crete MD, Poly-Crete MDB, FasTop SL, Hybri-Flex EB, and the related SKUs across each family — install through a single Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer credential rather than coordinating separate authorizations per product line. The page below covers product family scope across Poly-Crete, FasTop, and Hybri-Flex; the Dur-A-Flex to Sherwin-Williams brand transition affecting active specifications; and the verticals where SW HPF urethane cement specifies into commercial and industrial flooring projects.
The Sherwin-Williams Company completed its acquisition of Dur-A-Flex on July 1, 2024. Poly-Crete (legacy Dur-A-Flex signature urethane cement line), FasTop (legacy General Polymers urethane slurry systems), and Hybri-Flex (system architecture combining UC base and topcoat chemistry) now operate under Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring as three product families running in parallel. Product codes remain unchanged. Spec writers and architects routinely see both legacy Dur-A-Flex documents and current Sherwin-Williams documents in active project specifications. Craftsman installs across the entire SW HPF portfolio under current Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer credentials.
Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Product Coverage
Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring carries three urethane cement product families. Poly-Crete is the workhorse UC family carrying the most commonly spec’d SKUs across food and beverage, commercial kitchen, brewery, and pharmaceutical specifications. FasTop is the legacy General Polymers urethane slurry system family, found primarily in industrial specifications written before the SW HPF consolidation. Hybri-Flex is the system architecture combining a Poly-Crete UC base with epoxy, polyurea, or MMA topcoat chemistry. All three install under one Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer credential.
Poly-Crete — Workhorse UC Family (MD, MDB, SL, SLB, TF Plus, HF, WR)
Poly-Crete MD is the most commonly spec’d Poly-Crete SKU — 3/16″ to 1/4″ self-leveling matte aromatic UC. Poly-Crete MDB is the broadcast aggregate variant of MD for slip-resistance specifications. Poly-Crete SL is the 1/8″ base layer used as the foundation for Hybri-Flex hybrid systems; SLB is the broadcast variant. TF Plus serves as matte topcoat, integral cove base material, and patch compound on the same project. Color-Fast is the UV-stable semi-gloss topcoat. Poly-Crete HF is the 1/4″ to 3/8″ heavy-duty resurfacer for substrate restoration and high-traffic zones. Poly-Crete WR is the vertical-grade variant used at cove base and wall coving applications.
FasTop — General Polymers Legacy Urethane Slurry Systems
FasTop entered the SW HPF portfolio through Dur-A-Flex’s earlier acquisition of General Polymers. The brand continues to manufacture under existing product codes post-Sherwin-Williams acquisition. FasTop SL is the foundational Urethane Slurry System; FasTop 12S is the 3/16″ slurry variant; FasTop TG is trowel-grade for thicker pours; FasTop S is a slurry variant for specific industrial conditions. Multi Topfloor SL23 covers multi-purpose self-leveling specifications. Deco Flake SL45 is the decorative flake-broadcast system being renamed to Hybri-Flex AC — both product names appear in active specification documents until the rename completes. FasTop products are found primarily in legacy industrial specifications where General Polymers products were originally written into the construction documents.
Hybri-Flex — System Architecture Combining Base and Topcoat
Hybri-Flex is the SW HPF system-level architecture combining a Poly-Crete SL or HF urethane cement base with a topcoat chemistry tuned to the project requirement. EB, EC, EQ, and ES variants pair the UC base with epoxy topcoat chemistry, with EQ adding quartz aggregate for slip and ES adding a sealer coat. AB, AC, and AC One pair the base with Accelera polyurea — AC One being the single-component variant. MB and MC pair the base with MMA topcoat. Hybri-Flex AC specifically is the new SW HPF branding for what previously specified as FasTop Deco Flake SL45 — spec writers operating across the transition see both product names in active documents.

Dur-A-Flex to Sherwin-Williams — Brand Transition Guidance
Active construction specifications routinely reference both Dur-A-Flex legacy product names and current Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring product names. The acquisition completed July 1, 2024 transferred Poly-Crete, FasTop, and Hybri-Flex into the SW HPF portfolio without changing the underlying product codes. This Block covers the corporate context, the spec translation pattern, manufacturer warranty preservation under the new ownership, and the verification process spec writers use to confirm installer credentials before lock-in.
July 1, 2024 Acquisition — Corporate Context
The Sherwin-Williams Company completed its acquisition of Dur-A-Flex on July 1, 2024. The transaction consolidated three established polymer flooring product families — Poly-Crete (Dur-A-Flex signature UC line), FasTop (General Polymers urethane slurry systems acquired earlier by Dur-A-Flex), and Hybri-Flex (Dur-A-Flex system architecture) — under Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring. Dur-A-Flex manufacturing operations continue producing the same products under the same codes. SW HPF is the consolidated brand identity covering the parallel families; no rename or consolidation has occurred at the individual product level.
Legacy Dur-A-Flex Specs in Active Projects — Spec Translation
Construction documents written before July 1, 2024 commonly reference “Dur-A-Flex Poly-Crete MD,” “General Polymers FasTop SL,” or “Dur-A-Flex Hybri-Flex EB.” The underlying products are unchanged from those specifications — the manufacturer name on the front of the technical data sheet is the only element that has shifted, from Dur-A-Flex (or General Polymers) to Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring. Craftsman installs to the same technical specification regardless of which brand identity appears in the original construction document. Active document updates either retain the legacy product name with a parenthetical noting “now Sherwin-Williams HPF” or substitute the full SW HPF brand reference directly.
Manufacturer Warranty Preservation — Authorized Installation
Manufacturer warranty on Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring products requires installation by an Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer. Legacy Dur-A-Flex warranty for installations completed before July 1, 2024 transferred to Sherwin-Williams under the acquisition terms — the warranty obligations carried forward to the new corporate owner without resetting service dates. New installations of Poly-Crete, FasTop, or Hybri-Flex products receive current SW HPF warranty coverage when installed under the Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer credential. Craftsman holds the current credential and installs to the warranty-preserving technical specification on every project.
Spec Writer Confirmation — Rep Verification Process
Spec writers and architects can verify Craftsman’s Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Installer status by contacting the regional Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring representative directly. The regional rep maintains the current installer authorization list for the territory and confirms credential status against the active SW HPF roster. Craftsman provides rep contact information on request. Project specifications can be reviewed with the rep before lock-in to confirm product selection and system buildup, slip-resistance specification and integral cove base detailing, and installer credential alignment in a single pre-construction conversation.
Vertical Specification Coverage — Where SW HPF UC Installs
Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring urethane cement systems specify into the same verticals that drive any commercial UC installation: food and beverage processing, dairy and meat plants, commercial kitchens, brewery and distillery operations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and cold storage facilities. The Poly-Crete, FasTop, and Hybri-Flex product selection per vertical is driven by chemistry exposure and mechanical traffic load, surface finish requirements, and the compliance documentation the procurement officer expects at project closeout. Each subhead below covers the SW HPF product selection that most commonly specifies into that vertical.
Food and Beverage Processing — Poly-Crete MD and HF
Poly-Crete MD is the most commonly specified SW HPF urethane cement for general food and beverage processing — 3/16″ to 1/4″ self-leveling matte aromatic UC delivering the seamless monolithic surface USDA, FDA, HACCP, SQF, and GFSI documentation requires. Poly-Crete HF specifies into the heavier-duty processing zones at 1/4″ to 3/8″ thickness where mechanical traffic from production carts, motorized equipment, and palletized incoming material exceeds typical processing exposure. Poly-Crete MDB covers wet processing zones where slip resistance requires aggregate broadcast into the surface. Closeout documentation includes ICRI 310.2 CSP records, ASTM F2170 in-situ moisture readings, and FSMA documentation for facilities operating under the Food Safety Modernization Act framework.
Commercial Kitchens — Poly-Crete MD, MDB, and TF Plus
Poly-Crete MD and MDB are the workhorse selections for restaurant and institutional commercial kitchen specifications. MD covers prep zones and service lines; MDB covers dishwash zones, walk-in cooler entries, and fryer station floors where broadcast aggregate raises slip resistance to the DCOF .42 wet-surface threshold per ANSI A137.1. TF Plus integrates as the matte topcoat over the UC base and forms the integral cove base material at wall-floor transitions, eliminating the bacterial harborage point health inspectors cite in quarry tile installations. Phased installation around service hours follows the standard methodology covered on the commercial kitchen flooring page.
Brewery and Distillery Operations — Poly-Crete HF and Hybri-Flex
Poly-Crete HF specifies into brewhouse and production zones where hot wort spillage, spent grain organic acid, and hot CIP washdown create chemistry exposure beyond what standard processing surfaces tolerate. Hybri-Flex EC and Hybri-Flex AC variants specify into bottling lines, packaging zones, and tap rooms where the project requires either supplemental epoxy chemical resistance over the UC base or polyurea decorative finish with UV stability. Operating temperature range -40°F to 250°F with 150°F+ thermal shock tolerance covers cold storage warehouse zones, brewery production floors, and distillery rickhouse temperature variance — one product family across all three thermal environments.
Pharmaceutical and Cleanroom — Poly-Crete SL with Hybri-Flex Topcoat
Poly-Crete SL at 1/8″ specifies as the urethane cement base layer in pharmaceutical manufacturing and compounding pharmacy projects, with Hybri-Flex EB or EC topcoat providing the chemical-resistant or UV-stable surface chemistry the spec engineer requires. cGMP compliance documentation goes in the closeout package; USP 797 applies where compounding pharmacy spaces are part of the project scope. ICRI 310.2 CSP records, ASTM F2170 moisture readings, manufacturer batch numbers, and primer coverage rates deliver as standard closeout package contents.
