Case Study

Full-Broadcast Flake Garage

Residential · Flake Epoxy System · 4-Day Installation

Project Overview

This homeowner came to us with a bare concrete garage floor that was stained, cracking, and collecting dust. They wanted a durable, clean surface that could handle hot tires, daily wear, and humidity — without sacrificing aesthetics.

We recommended our full-broadcast decorative flake epoxy system: a proven solution that combines maximum durability with a professional showroom finish. The entire project — from surface prep to final topcoat — was completed in 4 working days.

The Process

How We Built This Floor

01

Moisture Testing & Inspection

We tested the concrete slab per ASTM F2170 and inspected for cracks, contaminants, and previous coatings. The slab passed moisture testing, allowing us to proceed without a moisture mitigation system.

02

Diamond Grinding

Using industrial diamond grinders, we profiled the entire surface to CSP 2-3. This creates the mechanical bond that prevents peeling — the #1 reason cheap coatings fail. We never acid etch.

03

Epoxy Base Coat + Flake Broadcast

We applied 100% solids epoxy (not the water-based big-box store kind) and broadcast vinyl flake chips into the wet surface at full coverage. The flakes create texture, hide imperfections, and provide slip resistance.

04

Scrape, Clean & Topcoat

After curing, we scraped excess flake for a smooth surface, cleaned thoroughly, and applied a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. This protects against hot-tire pickup, chemicals, and UV exposure.

“Fast, clean, and the floor is incredible. Neighbors keep asking who did it. Flake floor done in four days — drove on it the next morning.”
