FAQs
What are epoxy flakes?
Epoxy flakes, also called epoxy chips, are small colored vinyl pieces added to epoxy coatings for texture and style. They come in different flake sizes and color options, making them perfect for customizing garage floors, commercial spaces, and more.
What are the benefits of epoxy flake flooring?
Epoxy flake flooring enhances durability, slip resistance, and aesthetics. The flakes help hide dirt and imperfections on a concrete surface while adding texture. With a clear coat on top, the floor becomes even more resistant to wear and stains, making it ideal for both homes and industrial floors.
When should I apply flakes to an epoxy floor?
For best results, apply flakes immediately after spreading the epoxy primer or base coat. A full broadcast ensures even coverage and a seamless finish. The flakes should be thrown evenly over the wet epoxy before it cures.
How long do epoxy flakes last?
With proper installation and a durable clear coat, epoxy flake flooring can last 10–20 years. In high-traffic areas like a commercial space or an industrial floor, longevity depends on maintenance and the quality of the epoxy coatings used.
