Flake epoxy floor,Rock Hill,NC

Have you ever seen garage floors or outdoor stairs with granite-like finishes? It probably was epoxy flake flooring. It is created by a base coat of epoxy, an intermediate layer of multicolored vinyl flakes, and then a top coat of polyaspartic. In addition to having all the advantages of a regular epoxy flooring, the version with flakes has a pattern that makes dirt much harder to see. This allows you to wash the floor less often, which is perfect for dirtier areas such as exterior surfaces and the garage.  

Easy of maintenance

If you have untreated concrete floors in your house or on your property, you already know how difficult this material is to clean. Its surface is rough and porous, allowing dust to adhere and accumulate. Also, stains are difficult to remove and are easily visible. An epoxy floor with flakes has a smooth, non-porous surface, which makes cleaning much easier. Simply vacuum or wash the floor with water, soap and a mop. 

The surface is resistant to various products and will not stain easily. In addition, dirt is virtually invisible on the pattern created by the flakes, allowing you to wash the floor less often. This makes it an ideal covering for exterior surfaces such as stairs, patio, balcony, terrace, pool surround and garage. Elements and substances such as water, snow, dirt, little rocks, mud, gasoline, oil, chemicals or sawdust will be easier to manage than on a rough concrete surface.  ​

Harmony with the decor

As previously mentioned, an epoxy flake coating is reminiscent of the appearance of granite. This is an interesting feature if you want the covered exterior surfaces to harmonize well with other elements of your property, such as the driveway or natural stones. This visual continuity can also be created between the interior of the garage and the exterior driveway when the door is open. ​

Choice of style

Epoxy flooring with flakes allows several style choices. Vinyl flakes come in many colors and sizes, you can choose between partial or total covering of the base layer with the flakes, and you can choose the color of the base layer. We will be able to help you make a decision, including by showing you samples of different possible combinations. We are sure that we can create a coating that blends well with your decor. ​

How is an epoxy flake flooring made?

As with all types of epoxy flooring, the first step before the application is to carefully evaluate the base surface to be covered, in order to detect the presence of impurities and irregularities, among other things. The second step is to remove traces of grease, previous coatings or other products, as well as to level the surface, using a diamond polishing wheel. We pass the wheel several times, with discs of different grits, until the concrete has the desired texture. The third step is the application of a coat of epoxy in the color of your choice. While the epoxy is still wet, the fourth step is to gently toss the vinyl flakes over the surface, so that they fall back in a fairly uniform manner. Once the epoxy is dry, we proceed to the fifth step, which is to scrape the surface to even it out and remove the excess flakes. The sixth and last step is to apply a coat of polyaspartic, a very resistant product.
