Flake flooring is both a look and a practical choice in Tucson, where dust tracks into garages and interior spaces no matter how often you sweep. The textured, multi-color surface hides minor dust, footprints, and small surface imperfections far better than a solid color coat.
Tucson Epoxy Elite installs flake systems for homeowners who want a showroom-style finish without the maintenance headache of a plain gloss floor. It works well over older slabs with some surface wear since the broadcast pattern camouflages minor flaws that would stand out under solid color epoxy.

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 that hides dust common in Tucson garages.
Pigmented Base Epoxy
A tinted base coat provides the background color for the flake design across garage or interior slabs.
Clear Polyurethane Topcoat
A clear finish adds gloss and protects the flake layer from fading under Tucson sun near garage doors or windows.
Metallic Flake Accent
Metallic flakes add shimmer and depth for homeowners wanting a higher-end finish.
Matte Finish Sealer
A matte sealer option offers a non-reflective look for interior rooms that get a lot of natural light.
Anti-Slip Grit Blend
A grit additive mixed into the topcoat improves traction, useful where sandy desert dust tracks indoors.

Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs
What's the difference between flake flooring and solid color epoxy?
Flake flooring adds texture and hides minor imperfections and dust, solid color epoxy gives a flatter, more uniform look. Flake tends to be more forgiving on older slabs.
How much does flake flooring cost per square foot?
Expect roughly $4 to $11 per square foot depending on flake density and topcoat upgrades, with slab condition also affecting the total.
Is DIY flake flooring a good idea?
Getting an even flake broadcast is harder than it looks, DIY jobs often end up patchy or inconsistent, which is the main reason to hire a pro for this finish.
How long does flake flooring take to install?
Most jobs take two to three days including prep, base coat, broadcast, and topcoat cure.
Do I need a permit for flake flooring?
Decorative flake coating is cosmetic work and typically doesn't require a permit in Tucson.
