Ideal Applications

Flake flooring systems are versatile solutions that work beautifully in a variety of residential and commercial environments.

Residential Garages

Transform your garage into a showroom-quality space with a floor that resists hot tire pickup, automotive fluids, and daily use.

Basements & Living Spaces

Create beautiful, waterproof flooring for basements, game rooms, home gyms, and other living areas in your home.

Commercial Spaces

Ideal for retail stores, showrooms, restaurants, offices, and other commercial areas that need attractive, low-maintenance flooring.

Customizable Flake Options

With endless color combinations and coverage styles, we can create a truly personalized floor to match your aesthetic preferences.

Full Flake Coverage

Complete coverage with flakes for a terrazzo-like appearance that completely hides the base coat and provides maximum texture.

Partial Flake Coverage

Medium density application allowing some base coat to show through, creating a balanced look with moderate texture.

Sparse Flake Coverage

Light application of flakes that highlights the base coat color while adding visual interest and minimal texture.

Micro Flakes

Smaller sized flakes creating a fine-grained, subtly textured appearance perfect for elegant indoor spaces.

Medium Flakes

Standard-sized flakes providing a classic look with good balance between aesthetics and practical slip resistance.

Macro Flakes

Larger flakes that create bold visual impact and maximum slip resistance for wet areas or outdoor applications.

Our Installation Process

Our meticulous installation process ensures a flawless, long-lasting flake floor system.

Professional Surface Preparation

We begin with diamond grinding to properly profile the concrete surface, repair cracks or damage, and ensure a clean substrate for maximum adhesion.

Primer Application

A high-quality epoxy primer is applied to penetrate and seal the concrete, creating a strong foundation for the system and preventing future moisture issues.

Base Coat & Flake Broadcasting

We apply a pigmented epoxy base coat and then broadcast the custom-selected color flakes to your desired coverage level while the epoxy is still wet.

Removal of Excess Flakes

After curing, we remove any loose flakes and lightly scrape the surface to eliminate sharp edges for a more comfortable finished texture.

Clear Topcoat Application

We apply one or more clear polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoats to seal and protect the flakes, providing UV stability, chemical resistance, and the desired finish level.

Final Inspection & Curing

Our team conducts a thorough inspection to ensure perfection. The floor then cures for 24-48 hours before light foot traffic and 5-7 days before full use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our flake flooring systems.

How long does a flake floor system last?

With proper installation and maintenance, our flake floor systems typically last 10-15 years in residential garages and 7-10 years in commercial settings with heavy traffic. The actual lifespan depends on use conditions, maintenance practices, and the specific topcoat selected.

Are flake floors slippery when wet?

One of the key benefits of flake flooring is its natural slip resistance. The textured surface created by the flakes provides excellent traction even when wet. For areas with specific slip-resistance requirements, we can add additional anti-slip additives to the topcoat.

How do I clean and maintain a flake floor?

Flake floors are remarkably easy to maintain. Regular cleaning with a dust mop or broom removes loose debris. For deeper cleaning, use a neutral pH floor cleaner and a microfiber mop. Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, or bleach products.

How long does installation take?

For a standard 2-car residential garage (approximately 400-500 sq ft), the complete installation process typically takes 2-3 days. Larger commercial projects will require more time based on square footage. After installation, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before light foot traffic.

Can flake flooring be installed over existing epoxy or tile?

In most cases, we recommend removing existing floor coatings to ensure proper adhesion and the longest possible lifespan for your new floor. However, in some situations, we can apply flake systems over existing epoxy if it is well-bonded and in good condition.

Are your flake floors UV stable and resistant to yellowing?

Our premium polyaspartic topcoats provide excellent UV stability, preventing yellowing even in spaces with significant sun exposure. For outdoor spaces or areas with direct sunlight through windows, we always recommend our UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat options.
