How Our Decorative Flake Flooring Process Works
Step 1Design Consultation
Color and flake pattern options are reviewed to match the desired look.

The concrete is ground and cleaned to ensure proper coating adhesion.
Step 3Base Coat Application
A pigmented base coat is applied as the foundation for the flake layer.
Step 4Flake Broadcast

Step 5Scrape & Smooth
Excess flakes are scraped away to create a smooth, even surface texture.
Step 6Clear Topcoat Seal
A clear protective topcoat locks in the flakes and adds durability.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Decorative Flake Flooring
Custom homes in this area tend to have larger garages and bonus rooms built with a finished look in mind, which is where this system earns its keep.
Multi-Color Flake Chips
A blend of colored chips creates a decorative, speckled flooring appearance suited to showcase garages in higher-end foothills homes.
Pigmented Base Epoxy
A tinted base coat provides the background color for the flake design.
Clear Polyurethane Topcoat
A clear finish adds gloss and protects the decorative flake layer from UV fade near sunlit garage doors.
Metallic Flake Accent
Metallic flakes add shimmer and depth, a frequent upgrade request for great room floors.
Matte Finish Sealer
A matte sealer option offers a non-reflective, understated finish for homeowners who want texture without high gloss.
Anti-Slip Grit Blend
A grit additive mixed into the topcoat improves floor traction in workshop or multi-use garages.

Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs
Is metallic epoxy worth the extra cost for a garage or great room floor?
For homeowners wanting a distinctive look rather than plain gray, yes. Metallic finishes cost more in labor and material but hold up the same as standard epoxy underneath.
Why do Catalina Foothills homes lean toward metallic and flake finishes?
Custom and higher-end homes in this area tend to treat the garage or bonus room as finished living space, so the floor gets the same design attention as the rest of the house.
How durable is flake flooring compared to plain epoxy?
Just as durable. The flake and topcoat layer adds texture and color but doesn't reduce the coating's resistance to traffic or spills.
Does HOA approval apply to interior decorative flooring?
Typically no, HOA review usually applies to exterior-visible changes like patios, not interior garage or room floors.
