What Exactly Is a Flake Flooring System?
Flake System Flooring: A true vinyl chip epoxy floor is a sophisticated, single, beautiful surface for strength and style. We don’t just roll on a single coat.
- Primer & Basecoat
After preparing your concrete, we apply a deep-wicking epoxy or polyurea basecoat. This layer penetrates the concrete pores for a bond that is three times stronger than the concrete itself.
- Flake Layer
While the base is wet, we broadcast your chosen blend of colored micro vinyl chips across the entire surface until it’s completely covered. This creates the signature color, texture, and pattern of the floor.
- Protective Topcoat
After the basecoat cures, we scrape the floor to create a smooth, consistent texture, then seal the entire system with a crystal-clear, industrial-grade polyaspartic topcoat.
Benefits of a Flake Flooring System
Flake System Flooring Benefits: Home and business owners in Rochester choose our flake flooring for its practical, long-term benefits.
- Incredible Visual
With dozens of pre-designed color blends and the ability to create a custom multi-color epoxy flake finish, the design possibilities are endless.
- Extreme Durability
This system is built to last. It easily handles heavy foot traffic, vehicle use, impacts from dropped tools, and is completely resistant to road salt, oil, and most chemicals.
- Safer Surface
The flakes create a natural textured flake surface that provides excellent grip underfoot. This makes for a non-slip epoxy flake coating that is far safer than dusty, smooth concrete, especially when wet.
- Maintenance & Hygiene
A flake floor is seamless and non-porous. This means there are no grout lines or seams to trap dirt, grime, or bacteria. Cleaning is as simple as sweeping or using a squeegee and a mild cleaner. Unlike commercial vinyl flooring, it never needs to be stripped or waxed.
