Full Flake Epoxy Flooring: Benefits and Installation
Full flake epoxy flooring is a multi-layer coating system that consists of a base coat of epoxy, a broadcast of decorative vinyl flakes, and a clear topcoat. The flakes are broadcast onto the wet epoxy, creating a textured, multi-colored finish that is both beautiful and functional. The decorative flakes are made from vinyl and come in a wide range of colors and sizes. When broadcast onto the wet epoxy, they create a unique, one-of-a-kind finish that is both eye-catching and practical. The textured surface of the flakes provides excellent slip resistance, making it a safe choice for garages, basements, and other high-traffic areas.
The Benefits of Full Flake Epoxy Flooring
There are many reasons why homeowners choose full flake epoxy flooring for their garages, basements, and other spaces.

What is Full Flake Epoxy Flooring?
At GatorGuard, we take pride in our meticulous installation process, which ensures a flawless and long-lasting finish.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
We begin by thoroughly cleaning and preparing the existing concrete surface. This involves removing any dirt, grime, or previous coatings, and repairing any cracks or damage.
Step 2: Primer Application
Next, we apply a high-quality primer to the concrete to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy coating.
Step 3: Epoxy Coating and Flake Broadcast
After the primer is applied, the main epoxy coating is then applied in multiple layers. The decorative flakes are then broadcast onto the wet epoxy, creating a textured, multi-colored finish.
Step 4: Topcoat Application
The final step is the application of a clear topcoat, which protects the epoxy coating from UV rays and other environmental factors, enhancing its longevity and appearance.
