Epoxy Flake Flooring — Queen Creek, AZ
What Is Epoxy Flake Flooring?
Epoxy flake flooring — also called a chip system or broadcast flake system — is a multi-layer garage floor coating where decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast into wet epoxy and then sealed with a clear topcoat. The result is a textured, slip-resistant, visually striking floor that hides dirt, tire marks, and imperfections far better than solid-color floors.
It's the most popular epoxy flooring system in Queen Creek for a reason: it looks great, it's durable, it's practical, and it comes in dozens of color combinations to match any garage or home aesthetic.
Why homeowners choose flake over solid color: The multi-color flake pattern hides dust, dirt, and light scratches between cleanings — making it much more practical for daily garage use than a solid-color floor where every scuff shows.
How the Epoxy Flake System Works
Diamond Grind the Concrete
Professional diamond grinding opens the concrete pores for maximum adhesion. No etching, no acid wash — mechanical prep only.
Repair All Cracks & Defects
Polyurea crack filler is used to repair all surface defects before any coating begins.
Apply 100% Solids Epoxy Base
A thick epoxy base coat is applied and allowed to become tacky — creating the adhesion surface for the flakes.
Full-Broadcast Flake Application
Vinyl flakes are thrown into the wet epoxy at approximately 1 lb per square foot until the floor is completely covered.
Scrape & Knockdown
After the epoxy cures, we scrape the floor flat and vacuum all loose chips — creating the smooth, even surface beneath the topcoat.
UV-Stable Polyaspartic Topcoat
One or two clear polyaspartic topcoats seal the flakes permanently, creating a UV-stable, chemical-resistant, high-gloss finish.
