Decorative flakes improve the safety and functionality of epoxy floors by creating a micro-profile that significantly increases grip underfoot. Unlike standard, smooth epoxy coatings that can become dangerously slick when wet, our full-broadcast flake systems provide consistent traction for employees, customers, and family members.
Key ways these flakes enhance your surface include:
- Physical Texture: The multi-layered application embeds thousands of vinyl chips into the epoxy, creating a raised, pebbled pattern that increases friction.
- Liquid Displacement: The textured profile helps channel moisture and spills away from direct foot contact, maintaining a safer walking surface in areas like commercial kitchens, entryways, and garages.
- Imperfection Masking: The random, multi-color distribution of flakes disguises minor cracks and blemishes in the underlying concrete, ensuring a flawless appearance while providing a safer, slip-resistant finish.
Our team is ready to design and install the decorative concrete surface that is right for you. Whether you manage a high-traffic retail space or a residential garage, these systems offer the flawless finishes your business deserves without compromising on safety. Request An Estimate today to see how we can transform your worn concrete into a resilient, decorative showpiece.

How do Moisture Vapor Barriers Prevent Epoxy Floor Failure?
Read More »Moisture vapor barriers prevent epoxy floor failure by forming a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks water vapor from rising through the naturally porous concrete slab. Because concrete acts like a wick, drawing moisture from the ground, untreated slabs allow vapor to migrate upward and condense directly beneath the epoxy film. Without a barrier, this trapped […]

Why is Moisture Testing Important before Applying Epoxy?
Read More »Moisture testing is a critical first step because concrete is naturally porous, acting like a wick that draws moisture up from the ground. If this moisture is trapped under an impermeable coating without being properly addressed, it creates pressure that can cause the epoxy to blister, peel, and delaminate, leading to a total floor failure. […]

Why is a Uv Stable Topcoat Necessary for Outdoor Epoxy Projects?
Read More »A UV-stable topcoat is essential for outdoor epoxy projects because standard epoxy coatings are inherently vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) degradation. When exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods, traditional epoxy undergoes a photochemical reaction that causes visible damage, including chalking (the development of a powdery residue on the surface) and yellowing or amber discoloration. To […]

How does Polyaspartic Compare to Epoxy for Sun Exposure?
Read More »Polyaspartic coatings are significantly more UV-stable than standard epoxy. While standard epoxy is prone to rapid UV degradation when exposed to the intense sun found in Alberta, polyaspartic formulations use aliphatic chemistry that resists yellowing and chalking at the molecular level. When comparing the two for sun exposure, we have found that polyaspartic topcoats offer […]
