Question 1

Can epoxy flooring be customized?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose from solid colors, decorative vinyl flake (partial or full broadcast), colored quartz, and metallic systems for unique visual effects.

Question 2

What is a decorative vinyl flake floor?

Accepted Answer

Colored vinyl chips are broadcast into a wet basecoat, then sealed with clear topcoats, creating a granite‑like, textured, and highly practical finish.

Question 3

Should I choose partial flake or full flake?

Accepted Answer

Full flake better hides concrete imperfections and daily dust/scratches, looks consistent, and provides texture. Partial flake shows more of the base color.

Question 4

Why are flake floors so popular in garages?

Accepted Answer

They’re attractive, forgiving to install, hide dirt and minor flaws, and the flakes are UV‑stable—helping the floor look clean and consistent over time.

Question 5

What is a metallic epoxy floor?

Accepted Answer

A clear epoxy with metallic pigments that self‑level into flowing, pearlescent patterns—highly unique and artistic, best installed by experienced pros.

Question 6

Are metallic floors harder to do?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They demand skill, timing, and artistry to control pigment movement—recommended only with experienced installers.

Question 7

What is a quartz floor?

Accepted Answer

Colored quartz sand is broadcast into epoxy for a durable, slip‑resistant, and subtly textured surface—great for high‑wear or wet areas.

Question 8

What about a “river rock” look?

Accepted Answer

Small pebbles can be sealed in clear binders to create a natural, outdoor‑inspired appearance where appropriate.

Question 9

How can I add slip resistance without changing the look much?

Accepted Answer

A fine, clear aggregate can be added to the final topcoat to increase traction while keeping a clean, low‑profile appearance.

Question 10

Will solid color show imperfections more?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smooth, high‑gloss solid colors highlight substrate flaws and dust. Flake and quartz systems are more forgiving and look clean longer.

Question 11

What gloss levels are available?

Accepted Answer

From high‑gloss to satin/matte depending on the topcoat. Matte can reduce glare and make imperfections less visible.

Question 12

Will sunlight affect the color?

Accepted Answer

Use UV‑stable topcoats and UV‑stable flakes in sun‑exposed areas to maintain color and gloss.

Question 13

Can I change the texture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Texture is controlled by broadcast type (flake/quartz) and aggregate size in the topcoat. More texture = more traction.

Question 14

What colors are available?

Accepted Answer

Nearly unlimited. Popular choices mimic stone or neutral palettes in garages; bold metallics suit showrooms and feature spaces.

Question 15

Will a full‑flake floor look busy?

Accepted Answer

It depends on flake size and blend. Finer or more muted blends read cleaner; installers can show samples to match your preference.

Question 16

How do I pick a design that hides dirt?

Accepted Answer

Multi‑tone full‑flake and quartz blends are most forgiving; solid colors show dust and marks more readily.

Question 17

Is there a best system for garages?

Accepted Answer

Full‑flake with a UV‑stable polyaspartic topcoat is a balanced choice for beauty, durability, traction, and maintenance.

Question 18

What’s best for showrooms or salons?

Accepted Answer

Metallic epoxy for dramatic visuals, with a durable topcoat; include slip‑resistant additive as needed for safety.

Question 19

Can I update the look later?

Accepted Answer

Many systems can be re‑top‑coated or refreshed; consult your installer on timing and prep for future updates.
