Epoxy Flake Flooring in Kirkland, WA

Why flake fits an active household

Garages here hold a lot of outdoor gear: bikes after a muddy trail ride, paddleboards and kayaks back from the lake, ski boxes and strollers. All of that brings water, sand and grit onto the floor. A solid color floor shows every spot. A flake floor blends it in. The multicolored chips hide dust, footprints and water marks between cleanings, and the textured surface gives better footing when the floor is wet.

How it is built

After grinding and repairs, we roll a pigmented base coat and broadcast vinyl chips into it until the surface is covered. Once it cures, we scrape and vacuum loose chips and seal everything under a clear topcoat. The finished floor is thick, seamless and has a granite-like look.

Full or partial broadcast

A full broadcast covers the base completely for the most texture and durability. A partial broadcast scatters chips over a visible base color for a lighter, more modern look. Busy family garages and mudrooms usually do best with full broadcast.

Colors for contemporary homes

Gray and white blends suit modern exteriors and brighten garages. Charcoal and black blends look crisp and hide more dirt. Warmer blends of tan and brown match craftsman and mid-century homes. We bring sample boards so you can see them in your own light.

• Home gyms
• Laundry rooms and utility spaces
• Commercial restrooms, break rooms and back-of-house areas
• Condo storage rooms and bike rooms

Texture levels

We control texture through the topcoat. A thinner topcoat leaves more grip, which we recommend near doors and in wet areas. A thicker topcoat feels smoother, which some people prefer in gyms and hobby rooms.

Durability

Flake floors resist impact, abrasion, hot tires and common chemicals such as oil, coolant and cleaners. The clear topcoat protects the chips and resists staining. Spot repairs blend in easily.

Shared bike and storage rooms

Condo and apartment buildings often have shared bike rooms and storage areas with bare concrete that quickly looks grimy. A flake floor brightens the space, hides wear and is easy for building staff to clean. We work with property managers to schedule installs with minimal disruption to residents.

Process

1. Moisture testing and inspection.
2. Diamond grinding with dust collection.
3. Crack and pit repair.
4. Base coat and flake broadcast.
5. Scrape, vacuum and topcoat.

Cleaning

Sweep or blow out grit, hose and squeegee when needed and clean oil with a mild degreaser. A soft-bristle deck brush works well on the texture. No waxing or sealing is required.

Home gyms

Many garages now double as a workout space. Flake floors handle sweat, chalk and rolling equipment well. For heavy lifting areas, we recommend rubber tiles or mats over the coating to protect against dropped weights while keeping the rest of the floor easy to clean.

Pairing with polyaspartic

Our most popular system combines a flake broadcast with a polyaspartic topcoat. The polyaspartic stays clear in sunlight, resists hot tire pickup and cures fast, so many garages can be back in use the next day.
