Multi-color vinyl-flake epoxy systems with slip resistance.
Flake (or chip) systems combine a pigmented epoxy basecoat with a full broadcast of colored vinyl flakes and a clear topcoat. The texture hides slab imperfections, adds slip resistance, and comes in dozens of stock color blends — plus fully custom blends for a specific brand or paint chip. Flake systems are the workhorse of the residential coating market: cost-effective, durable, and infinitely customizable.
Colored vinyl chips — commonly called flakes or chips — are broadcast to refusal into a wet pigmented epoxy basecoat, then scraped flush and locked in with one or two coats of clear polyaspartic or polyurethane. Flakes come in sizes from 1/16" up to a full 1" and are sold as pre-blended color mixes (charcoal-and-gray, earth-tone, coastal blue, custom brand blends) or as single colors mixed on site. A full broadcast completely hides the basecoat and creates a subtle terrazzo-like texture that masks slab imperfections, adds inherent slip resistance, and hides dust, pet hair, and everyday scuffs between cleanings. Because the flake layer is thick, the finished system is more forgiving of impact and abrasion than a smooth solid-color coating, and repairs blend more easily into the surrounding pattern.
Full-broadcast flake systems typically run $5–$10 per square foot installed.
Yes — the sealed topcoat wipes clean with a damp mop, and the flake texture hides dust and pet hair between cleanings.
Common sizes are 1/16", 1/4", and 1". Larger flakes read as a bolder terrazzo look; smaller flakes look more uniform.
Yes — installers can mix single-color flakes on site to match a home's siding, a brand palette, or an interior design scheme. Custom blends carry a small upcharge over stock mixes.
No. After the scrape and topcoat, the surface is smooth to the touch — the flake edges are locked down flush. It feels similar to polished concrete.
Flake hides imperfections better, adds slip resistance, and is more forgiving over the life of the floor. Solid color reads cleaner and is easier to keep visibly spotless, but shows every scratch and tire mark.
