Keep reading to learn more about flaked epoxy flooring and its properties.
- Composition – The first thing you should know about flaked epoxy flooring is how it is made. This type of flooring consists of a base of resin (epoxy) with small chips or flakes of colored vinyl applied on top. The end result is a distinct dappled appearance. Our team offers a wide range of epoxy and flake colors to let you achieve just about any combination you have in mind.
- Application – The process of installing flaked epoxy flooring starts with preparing the substrate. Our team will smooth out the base floor, then apply a primer to get it ready to receive the epoxy. Next the epoxy itself is applied, and then the colored flakes on top of that, and finally a sealant to lock everything in.
- Safety – A third thing you should know about flaked epoxy flooring is that it is highly slip-resistant. The flakes used to create its characteristic dappled look also give the floor a raised texture that improves traction and helps prevent slip accidents. This makes it a great choice for use in garages and other areas where spills are frequent.
