Flake Epoxy Floor

Coating.

Our signature full-broadcast flake system combines high-performance epoxy with decorative vinyl chips for a textured, durable surface that masks concrete imperfections and shrugs off daily abuse.

How the System Is Built

The actual layers and materials — and why each one matters for the finished floor.

1. 1
   Diamond-ground profile

   Planetary grinders cut a CSP-2 to CSP-3 profile into the slab — the level of tooth required for a permanent mechanical bond.

2. 2
   Pigmented epoxy base coat

   A 100% solids pigmented epoxy is squeegeed and back-rolled across the entire floor. Color is usually chosen to either match or vanish under the flake load.

3. 3
   Full vinyl flake broadcast

   Vinyl flakes are broadcast to refusal — meaning we throw flake into the wet epoxy until it physically can't accept any more. This is what creates the seamless, textured surface and total color saturation.

4. 4
   Scrape and vacuum

   Once the base kicks, excess flake is scraped flat and vacuumed off. This step matters: under-scraped floors feel rough, over-scraped floors lose color depth.

5. 5
   Two coats UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat

   Two clear polyaspartic coats penetrate the flake layer, lock every chip in place, and create the durable, easy-to-clean wear surface.

Benefits

What this system actually delivers in daily use.

• Textured surface delivers genuine slip resistance even when wet
• Vinyl flakes hide hairline cracks, small spalls, and trowel marks in the slab
• Polyaspartic topcoat resists hot-tire pickup that destroys roll-on garage kits
• Cleans with a leaf blower, hose, or a wet mop — no special chemicals required
• Hundreds of flake-blend options to match interiors or exteriors
• Repairable in place if a section is ever damaged

Our Process for Flake Epoxy Floor Coating

Step-by-step from consultation through return-to-service.

1. 1
   Slab moisture test and consultation

   We test slab moisture with a calcium chloride or RH probe and walk the space with you to confirm flake-blend choice.

2. 2
   Diamond grind and crack repair

   Profile the slab, route and fill any cracks with semi-rigid polyurea, re-cut control joints.

3. 3
   Base + broadcast (day one)

   Pigmented epoxy base goes down and vinyl flake is broadcast to refusal while the base is still wet.

4. 4
   Scrape, topcoat, and return to service (day two)

   Excess flake scraped and vacuumed, two polyaspartic topcoats applied. Foot traffic same day, vehicles 24 hours after the final coat.

What to Expect

A full-broadcast flake floor is the most forgiving, longest-living residential system we install. Expect 15+ years before any topcoat refresh is needed, and even then the refresh is a single sand-and-recoat day rather than a full reinstall. Maintenance is a hose-down or leaf-blow for garages and a damp mop for interior spaces. In DFW the only real failure mode for cheap flake jobs is UV breakdown of a generic topcoat — that's why we use polyaspartic across every install, regardless of whether the floor sees direct sun. Slab moisture is the other factor; our default moisture-barrier prep handles vapor pressure that would blister an untested system.
