Epoxy Flake Floors have become a staple of Palm Beach. Not only are they durable but they allow you the ability to customize your floors to make them fit exactly the look and feel you are looking for. At Palm Beach Epoxy Pros, we handle thousands of flake floors per year and have custom chips and available inventory for every style and color.
There are a lot of options for concrete floor systems but epoxy flooring has become the choice of most commercial establishments, industrial spaces, and homeowners.
Some clients are only concerned with the hardcore benefits epoxy flooring can give such as durability, ease in cleaning and maintenance, and resistance to wear and tear factors (abrasion, impact, moisture, grease, oil hot tire mark etc.). An epoxy floor already comes with a high gloss finish, so the aesthetic value is already built-in.
Most commercial and residential garages have epoxy floors. The main reason for this is that garage floor epoxy coatings are resistant to liquid. Thus, chemical, grease, and oil spills as well as snow and rain on an epoxy floor seldom cause any major stain or damage. Business and home interiors have also made epoxy floors one of their top choices.
While epoxy floors in commercial and residential garages have an aesthetic appeal, it is the floor’s resistance to liquid, tire marks, and the impact that is of main concern.
However, when epoxy flooring is installed in the interiors of a business or home, an aesthetic appeal takes center stage. This is where Epoxy Flake Floors come.
Epoxy flakes, colored chips, colored flaxes, whatever they are called, are color explosions that will certainly turn a dull floor into an interesting and appealing one.
Vinyl color flakes are thin flakes (about 4 mm thick) which are a mixture of vinyl resins and acrylic. They are available in various colors – single or in a combination of blended colors. Custom blends are also available to suit different preferences. Shapes are irregular and are often in 1 inch diameters. Some are 1/32 inch. For garages, ¼ inch flakes are commonly used.
When choosing a flake color, the color of the base floor should always be considered. The epoxy flakes should match the base floor color. However if the entire floor is to be covered with epoxy flakes, there is no need for the base floor and the epoxy flakes to match. Floors can also have, light, medium and heavy epoxy flake coverage.
Garages can also benefit from Epoxy Flake Floors. Wouldn’t you like a garage floor that is not only practical but extremely beautiful, too? Let’s check out what epoxy flake floors have to offer.
An epoxy floor with flakes or chips is often chosen for this reason. They simply just look gorgeous! Garages are often regarded as one of the most important areas in a home where the entire family gathers to work and play. It is therefore often the goal of homeowners to make garage floors look as fancy and gorgeous as they can get.
An epoxy flake floor can do just that – make your garage floor look aesthetically beautiful. This is not only true for garages and home interiors. Commercial areas are intended to be practical and aesthetically appealing, too.
Imperfections in the floors are not entirely hidden by an epoxy flooring. Epoxy flakes can conceal imperfections both in the concrete and also in the epoxy floor coat itself. Epoxy flakes attract so much attention that the imperfections on the floor will hardly be noticed.
With a lot of creativity, you can have a unique epoxy flake floor for your garage that could last for long years. It is a simple process.
First, take a look at the theme of your home. Choose a flake design that will compliment it in terms of color and design. If you have high foot traffic in your garage, opt for dark-colored flakes. Decide on the size of the flakes and how much of the floor area you want to be covered. You can also choose to add anti-slip protection on the epoxy flake floors.
Epoxy Flake floors are generally about 2 dollars more per square ft than an average epoxy floor coating. The price increase takes into account labor, material for the flakes as well as the top coat which needs to be applied after the flake broadcast takes place.
There are atleast 5 different types of flakes including vinyl chips which are standard for garages, quartz, pebbles, sand and many more which all have different levels of cost and varying durability.
The difference between regular epoxy floors and flake epoxy floors is the vinyl chips that are mixed into epoxy. Flake epoxy flooring ads durability because it is another layer on top of the epoxy which adheres to the concrete. After applying flakes there is yet another layer of epoxy placed on top of it. Old and dull concrete can be transformed into a brand new-looking floor by applying an epoxy coat mixed with flakes. There are also different types of flakes, not just vinyl. Some of the different flakes include quartz, metal and even sand to make the epoxy into a mortar-like substance. If you want your floor to have a more appealing and customized look, epoxy flakes can do the trick.
