Frequently Asked Questions
What are epoxy flake floors and how do they work?
Epoxy flake floors combine a high-performance epoxy base coat with decorative vinyl flakes broadcast into the wet epoxy, then sealed with a clear topcoat. This creates a durable, slip-resistant, and attractive floor that hides dirt and imperfections while providing excellent chemical resistance.
How long do epoxy flake floors last?
With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy flake floors typically last 15-20 years in residential applications and 10-15 years in commercial settings. The multi-layer system provides exceptional durability and can be recoated to extend life even further.
Are epoxy flake floors slippery when wet?
No, the broadcast flakes create natural texture and slip resistance. We can adjust the flake coverage and add additional slip-resistant additives to meet specific safety requirements, making them suitable for wet environments.
What flake colors and sizes are available?
We offer over 20 color combinations including earth tones, metallics, and custom blends. Flake sizes range from 1/4" to 1" chips. Popular options include granite blend, terrazzo mix, and solid color schemes to match your design preferences.
Can epoxy flake floors be installed over existing coatings?
In most cases, existing coatings must be removed through diamond grinding or shot blasting to ensure proper adhesion. However, some compatible existing epoxy coatings can be abraded and overcoated after proper testing and evaluation.
How do I maintain my epoxy flake floor?
Maintenance is simple - regular sweeping and damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. The flake pattern naturally hides dirt and scratches, making maintenance easier than solid color coatings.
