Decorative flake flooring layers color chips into a pigmented base coat, giving a garage or patio a textured, speckled finish that also hides minor surface imperfections better than a solid color coat. It's a popular upgrade in Tempe's condo and townhome communities where curb appeal and resale value matter as much as durability. Tempe Epoxy Pros offers a range of flake blends and clear topcoat finishes, from subtle neutral tones to bolder multi-color combinations.
Because the flake layer sits under a clear protective topcoat, the color doesn't wear away the way a painted floor eventually does, and the slightly textured surface adds traction underfoot.

How Our Decorative Flake Flooring Process Works
Step 1Design Consultation
Color and flake pattern options are reviewed to match the desired look.
Step 2Surface Preparation
The concrete is ground and cleaned to ensure proper coating adhesion.
Step 3Base Coat Application
A pigmented base coat is applied as the foundation for the flake layer.
Step 4Flake Broadcast
Decorative flakes are broadcast by hand or machine across the wet coating.
Step 5Scrape & Smooth
Excess flakes are scraped away to create a smooth, even surface texture.
Step 6Clear Topcoat Seal
A clear protective topcoat locks in the flakes and adds durability.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Decorative Flake Flooring
Multi-Color Flake Chips
A blend of colored chips creates a decorative, speckled flooring appearance suited to garages and patios.
Pigmented Base Epoxy
A tinted base coat provides the background color for the flake design.
Clear Polyurethane Topcoat
A clear finish adds gloss and protects the decorative flake layer from fading in direct sun.
Metallic Flake Accent
Metallic flakes add shimmer and depth for a more upgraded showroom-style look.
Matte Finish Sealer
A matte sealer option offers a non-reflective, understated finish for indoor-adjacent garage spaces.
Anti-Slip Grit Blend
A grit additive mixed into the topcoat improves traction, useful near a pool-adjacent patio or entry.

FAQs
Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs
How much does decorative flake flooring cost?
Most garage flake jobs run $2,800-$6,000 depending on flake density, color blend, and whether a metallic accent is added.
Does flake flooring hide cracks in the slab?
Minor imperfections are visually softened by the texture, but any real cracks still need to be repaired before coating, not hidden under it.
Is flake flooring slippery when wet?
The flake texture itself adds some traction, and an anti-slip grit additive in the topcoat is available for patios or pool-adjacent areas.
Can I choose a custom flake color blend?
There's a range of pre-blended colors and the option to combine chips for a custom look during the design consultation.
How long does the flake layer last?
A properly sealed flake floor with a clear topcoat typically holds its color and texture for many years under normal residential use.
Does flake flooring work on patios, not just garages?
It's a common upgrade for patios and pool decks when paired with a slip-resistant topcoat.
