Flake System Details

What Is a Flake System Floor Coating?

A flake system — also called a vinyl flake or chip floor coating — is a multi-layer concrete coating system designed to create a durable, decorative, and easy-to-clean finished floor.

A typical full-broadcast flake system consists of:

Base Coat
A 100% solids epoxy or polyurea coating bonds the system to the mechanically prepared concrete.

Decorative Vinyl Flake
Vinyl flakes are broadcast across the wet base coat to full rejection, completely covering the surface and adding color, texture, and visual variation.

Polyaspartic Clear Topcoat
A UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat seals the flake system and provides resistance to abrasion, chemicals, staining, and UV exposure. Traction aggregate can be added for additional slip resistance.

Where Flake Floor Systems Work Best

Full-broadcast flake systems are a versatile option for concrete floors where durability, appearance, cleanability, and traction all matter.

Residential Garages
A durable, decorative alternative to bare concrete that stands up to vehicle traffic, road salt, spills, dirt, and everyday garage use.

Automotive & Showroom Spaces
Decorative flooring for service areas, automotive facilities, commercial garages, detailing spaces, and showrooms where both appearance and durability matter.

Retail & General Commercial Spaces
A practical option for customer-facing and back-of-house areas that need a durable, easy-to-maintain finished floor.

Utility Spaces
A seamless finished surface that is easier to clean and maintain than unfinished concrete while adding color and texture to the space.

Why Choose a Full-Broadcast Flake System?

Durable Surface
Built to handle vehicle traffic, foot traffic, abrasion, and everyday wear.

Decorative Finish
Vinyl flake blends create color, texture, and visual depth while helping disguise minor surface variation.

Easy to Clean
The seamless finished surface is easier to sweep, mop, and maintain than bare concrete.

UV-Stable Topcoat
Our flake systems are finished with a UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat for improved color and appearance retention.

Added Traction
The textured flake surface and traction aggregate provide additional slip resistance underfoot.

Multiple Color Options
Choose from a range of flake blends designed to complement garages, interiors, commercial spaces, and surrounding finishes.

Our Flake System Process

Surface Preparation

01

We inspect the concrete for moisture, damage, and surface conditions, then mechanically prepare the floor with industrial diamond grinding. This removes contaminants and creates the proper concrete surface profile for a strong, long-lasting bond.

Concrete Repair & Moisture Protection

02

Cracks, spalling, and pitted concrete are repaired as needed before coating. When moisture conditions require it, we apply a moisture-mitigating primer to help protect the coating system from moisture vapor transmission.

Base Coat & Full Flake Broadcast

03

We apply a 100% solids epoxy or polyurea base coat, depending on the system, job conditions and your preference. Decorative vinyl flakes are then broadcast to full rejection, completely covering the base coat and creating a durable, textured surface.

Polyaspartic Topcoat

04

After the excess flake is removed and the surface is scraped and detailed, we apply a UV-stable polyaspartic clear topcoat. The topcoat seals the system and provides resistance to abrasion, chemicals, staining, and UV exposure, with traction aggregate added for additional slip resistance.
