Understanding Flake Epoxy Flooring
Flake epoxy flooring is a modern flooring solution made from polymer resins combined with hardening agents. This material serves as a plastic coating applied to concrete surfaces, improving durability and offering an attractive, contemporary appearance that far surpasses traditional garage floor paints or plain concrete.
Epoxy flooring is frequently applied in basements, garages, home gyms, and work areas due to its robust strength and outstanding durability in environments with heavy foot traffic. Beyond residential settings, epoxy flake flooring is also ideal for hospital floors, retail outlets, commercial kitchens, showrooms, warehouses, machine shops, factories, and other high-traffic locations.
Advantages Of Using Flake Epoxy Flooring
Flake epoxy is popular for its look, durability, easy maintenance, and stain resistance. Upgrade your space with flake epoxy flooring and enjoy its many benefits.
Durability
The strength of flake epoxy flooring makes it perfectly suited for high-traffic areas. Its robust polymer resins form a resilient surface that resists stains, scratches, cracks, and fading. Whether considering flake epoxy for your home garage, busy office, or crowded retail environment, this flooring solution offers the toughness required to withstand heavy use.
Easy Upkeep
Maintaining and cleaning flake epoxy floors is effortless. The smooth surface allows for easy sweeping or mopping, and spills can be quickly wiped away. Additionally, the textured finish helps conceal dirt and debris between cleanings—truly a practical advantage.

Whether you prefer a traditional gray flake or vibrant color combinations like red or blue, there is a flake epoxy flooring solution that matches your aesthetic while improving the overall look of your space.
Chemical Resistant
Flake epoxy flooring is ideal for commercial or industrial settings vulnerable to spills, thanks to its chemical and stain-resistant features. Additionally, it offers exceptional resistance to fading and oxidation.

The Process of Installing Flake Epoxy Floors
At Northwest Epoxy, our flake epoxy flooring installation process involves precise steps for a perfect finished project. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it all comes together:
Prepping the Floor
The process starts by grinding 1/32 of an inch from the floor. This step guarantees proper adhesion of the epoxy to the concrete surface while eliminating any imperfections or existing coatings. Etching should be avoided when preparing the concrete, as it can leave residue that compromises epoxy adhesion.
Crack Repair
Prior to the application of the epoxy primer, we address any cracks or defects in the concrete by using an epoxy-based crack repair compound that guarantees a smooth, even surface.
Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier
To prepare the concrete, we apply an Epoxy Water Vapor Barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating and compromising the epoxy coating. Additionally, it serves as an adhesive layer between the concrete and the epoxy.
Add Flakes
Next, we incorporate the paint flakes into the epoxy primer. These flakes serve not only as a decorative feature but also enhance the surface's texture and grip, conceal imperfections, and deliver a smooth, seamless finish.
Top Coat
In the final stage, we apply the top coat, usually composed of premium Polyaspartics. This coating offers superior durability and safeguards against stains, chemicals, and UV exposure. It guarantees that the flake epoxy flooring remains attractive and durable for many years.
