Decorative vinyl-chip flake systems that hide imperfections and add color, texture, and grip.
Vinyl color chips broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat give you almost unlimited color combinations, hide minor slab imperfections, and add a subtle texture that improves traction without feeling rough underfoot. Finished with two clear top coats, a flake floor is the perfect balance of durability, beauty, and value — and the most popular system we install in Montgomery.
Epoxy flake flooring is by far the most popular system we install in Montgomery, and for good reason: it's the perfect balance of beauty, durability, performance, and value. Vinyl color chips are broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat — typically to refusal, meaning we keep throwing flake until the floor literally cannot accept any more — then sealed under two UV-stable polyurethane clear coats.
The flake serves multiple purposes simultaneously. Visually, it adds depth, color complexity, and a finished look that pure solid colors can't match. Functionally, it hides minor slab imperfections (hairline cracks, small pits, color variation in the underlying concrete) and adds a subtle texture that improves traction without feeling rough underfoot. Structurally, the flake fills micro-voids in the epoxy and increases overall film thickness, which extends the system's lifespan.
We stock dozens of flake color blends, from our top-selling 'Eastern Blvd' neutral (warm gray, cream, beige, hints of black and copper) to bold solid-color blends, custom color matches to home accents, and even Auburn/Alabama school-color blends for the truly committed fan. Most homeowners pick a flake blend at consultation by holding physical sample boards next to their garage door or basement wall.
Pricing for flake systems on a standard 2-car Montgomery garage runs $2,400-$3,400 installed, including diamond grind, base coat, flake broadcast to refusal, scrape-and-sand, and two polyurethane clear coats. The system carries our 15-year written warranty.
Flake works equally well in garages, basements, mudrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, light commercial spaces, and outdoor patios (with UV-stable polyurethane or polyaspartic top coats). It's our recommended starting point for most residential customers — the resale-friendly choice that delivers the highest perceived value at the lowest practical cost.
Yes — dozens of standard blends plus custom blending for color-matching to home accents. We bring physical sample boards to every consultation.
No — the flake is fully encapsulated under two clear coats. Wear happens on the clear coats, not the flake; refresh the clear coats every 10+ years for a like-new finish.
Yes — minor surface cracks, color variation, and small pits are completely hidden under flake broadcast. Major structural cracks are filled with polyurea before the base coat regardless.
Subtle texture from the flake gives natural traction in dry conditions. For wet environments (basements, garages with pet water bowls, pool decks) we broadcast additional anti-slip into the clear coat.
Two to three days for standard epoxy systems; single day for polyaspartic with flake. You can walk on it 24 hours after final coat.
