Epoxy Flake Flooring in Saint Cloud, FL

A floor that hides the mess

Some floors look perfect only when they are perfectly clean. A flake floor is the opposite. Its speckled surface camouflages sand from boat trailers, dried lake water spots, dog hair and the dust that blows in every time the door opens. That makes it a favorite for busy households, anglers, golf cart owners and anyone who uses the garage as a workshop. The texture of the flakes also gives grip underfoot, which helps on wet days.

Building a flake system

After full grinding, crack repair and moisture testing, we roll a pigmented base coat that matches the overall color of the flakes. While it is still wet, we toss flakes across the floor by hand until no base color shows. Once the base cures, we scrape the entire surface with a long-handled blade to knock down sharp edges and loose chips, then vacuum. The final step is a clear topcoat that locks the flakes in and sets the texture.

Flake size and blend

Flakes come in different sizes. Quarter-inch flakes are the most common for garages. Smaller flakes give a finer, more granite-like look. Blends range from neutral grays to warm browns to bright, sporty colors. We bring physical samples so you can compare them against your cabinets, walls and vehicles.

Texture control

We can leave a little more texture for traction in boat bays or porches, or apply a heavier topcoat for a smoother, easier-to-mop floor in a laundry room or office.

Boat bays and trailers

Boat owners appreciate how flake floors handle wet trailers and gear. Water beads up and runs off, sand sweeps out easily and small fuel or oil drips wipe away instead of staining. Trailer jacks can be set on a small pad to avoid point loads. For extra protection, we can add a chemical-resistant topcoat in the bay where engines are flushed.

Porches and covered patios

Front porches on older cottages and covered patios on newer homes are good candidates for flake systems. We use UV-stable topcoats and slip-resistant additives, and we pay attention to drainage so water does not pool.

Long-term value

A full flake floor is thick and durable. If something heavy drops and chips the surface, the spot can be patched and blended. After years of use, the topcoat can be lightly sanded and recoated to restore its shine without starting over.

Cleaning

Blow or sweep sand away regularly. Mop or scrub with a mild cleaner when needed. Avoid strong solvents and acidic cleaners that can dull the finish.

Questions

Can flakes go on stairs and steps?

Yes. We coat steps into the house and porch stairs to match.

Is flake more expensive than solid color?

Slightly, because of the flake material and extra labor, but most people find it worth it.

How quickly can I use the garage?

Polyaspartic flake systems can often be walked on the same day and driven on within a day or two.

Flake floors for workshops and boat storage

Plenty of garages here double as boat storage, tackle rooms or small workshops. Flake floors hold up well to trailer jacks, dropped tools and wet hulls coming back from the lake. We recommend a slightly heavier texture in those spaces for better footing when the floor is wet. Pads under trailer jacks spread the load and protect the finish. If your garage has a workbench area, we can run the flake right up to the wall and seal the edges so sawdust and spills wipe up easily.
