A solid-color epoxy floor shows every scuff and speck of dust. Flake systems hide that same wear behind a textured, multi-color surface, which matters in a garage that sees tools, tires, and foot traffic every week.

Glendale Epoxy Pros installs flake systems with color palettes that fit Phoenix-area homes, from neutral earth tones to brighter blends for a more finished look.

A small accent area, like a workbench corner, can work with a patience and a kit.Flake has to go down while the base coat is still tacky, miss that window and the chips won't bond right.
Broadcasting flakes evenly by hand across a full garage floor is harder than it looks.Professional broadcast equipment gets even coverage across the whole slab in one pass.

FAQs

Flake Flooring FAQs

What's the cost difference between flake epoxy and solid color epoxy?

Flake systems typically run $1,000 to $2,000 more than solid color epoxy for the same square footage, mostly due to the extra broadcast and clear topcoat steps.

How long does flake flooring take to install?

A standard 2-car garage flake job runs about two to three days from prep through final cure, similar to a solid epoxy job with one extra step.

Does flake flooring hide dirt better than solid color?

Yes. The multi-color texture breaks up visual patterns that make dust and light scuffs stand out on a flat, single-color surface.
