Flake Flooring: Durable, Decorative, and Perfect for Any Space

For a flooring solution that is both stylish and sturdy, flake flooring should be high on your list. Common in garages, shops, and even showrooms, the system marries looks with function. But it’s not merely a floor — it’s a finish that turns drab concrete into a contemporary, durable and easy-to-clean surface.

What is Flake Flooring?

Epoxy Flake system or more commonly called as Flake flooring is a decorative coating system for concrete. It is made up of a base coat (usually epoxy or polyaspartic), colored vinyl flakes or chips, and a topcoat seal. The flakes are available in a variety of colors, sizes and blends, creating custom looks to suit your style.

The result, once the system is installed, is a multi-layered floor that is aesthetically pleasing, non-slip and durable.

Why Choose Flake Flooring?

Here are several great benefits that make flake flooring a go-to option:

Exceptionally durable: Because of the interaction between epoxy or polyaspartic resins and the protective topcoat, a rugged surface is formed that can stand up to foot traffic, chemicals and abrasions.

Slip-Resistant: The flakes create texture, enhancing grip and minimizing slipping—critical in garages, kitchens or industrial zones.

Customizable Look: You Select Flake Colors: Up to 18 options for flake colors and combinations available, so you can match your interior or branding.

Low Maintenance: Flake flooring is resistant to stains and does not absorb moisture. It generally only requires a quick mop or sweep to maintain its appearance.

UV Stable: Doesn't yellow or fade in sunlight when sealed with a UV-resistant topcoat—good for sunlit areas.

Ideal Applications

Flake flooring is not restricted to just one type of space. It’s versatile enough that it can be used in homes and businesses alike:

Garages: Protect your concrete while adding a clean, professional-looking finish to your garage.

Retail Shops: Provide an aesthetic element that holds to heavy foot traffic.

Workshops: These durable surfaces stand up to oils, chemicals, and dropped tools.

Commercial Kitchens: The no-slip surface and easy clean up makes this a great choice.

Showrooms and Lobbies: Present a refined, luxury look for customers.

The Installation Process

The steps for professional installation of flake flooring typically include:

Surface Preparation: Cleaning, Grinding, and Repair of Concrete Surface.

Primer/Base Coat: apply epoxy or polyaspartic resin.

Flake Broadcast: Colored flakes are uniformly distributed in the wet base.

Cured: At this stage any loose flakes are removed and surface is smoothed.

Topcoat: A protective, clear topcoat sealant for the system.

The number of days required to conduct the process usually ranges from 1–3 days and will be based on the dimensions of the area and the system utilized.

Final Thoughts

Flake flooring is a great choice for anyone who needs a hard-wearing, attractive, and low-maintenance surface. The customizable design, durability, and easy installation make it a perfect fit for nearly all environments.

So, whether you're renewing a garage or designing a modern commercial space, flake flooring will deliver long-term performance on beautiful equipment. Not just a protective layer, but a flooring upgrade with max deliver.
