What's a Flake Floor?

Coloured Vinyl Flake
Broadcast Into Resin

A flake floor is a multi-layer system: pigmented epoxy or polyurea basecoat goes down first, then we broadcast coloured vinyl flakes into it to rejection. A clear polyaspartic topcoat seals everything in. The flakes hide minor concrete imperfections, add slip-resistant texture, and give the finished floor its distinctive multi-tone look.

The same flake blends below work with both epoxy and polyurea-polyaspartic systems — so pick the colour you want first, then we'll match the right resin system to how you'll use the floor.

How to Pick

Choosing the Right Flake Blend

The same blend can read totally different in two rooms. Here's what we tell every customer to think about before settling on a colour.

Match the room's lighting

North-facing basements look colder, so warm earth tones (Outback, Wombat, Bambi) balance them out. Sunny garages handle cooler blues and greys (Tidalwave, Shoreline, Pumice) without feeling washed out.

Hide what you don't want to see

Darker blends with more colour movement (Domino, Carbon, Blacktop) hide tire marks, dust and spills better than light solids. Light blends (Bambi, Pumice, Coldwater Canyon) make a basement feel bigger but show every footprint.

Coordinate with the room

The floor doesn't have to match the cabinets — but it should agree with them. Bring a paint chip, a cabinet door, or a photo of the wall colour to the estimate so we can compare with the physical sample boards.

Standard blends install fastest

The 16 standard blends are kept in stock — typical scheduling lead time is 1–2 weeks. Custom or pigment-matched blends add a week or two for sourcing. Same install quality either way.

Same blend, two systems

The flake itself is identical between epoxy and polyurea systems. Pick the colour you love first, then we'll match it to the right resin (epoxy for budget indoor floors, polyurea for 1–2 day installs and outdoor exposure).

See it in your space

Photos online never look the same as flake under your actual lighting. We bring physical sample boards to every free estimate so you can hold the swatch up to your wall, your cabinets, your existing decor — and know what you're getting.

We recently had our laundry room floor done with epoxy, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the company was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. They took the time to properly prepare the surface, which really shows in the final outcome. The finish is smooth, durable, and looks absolutely amazing.

Really happy with the job Concrete Shield Coatings did on my garage floor. The guys showed up on time, worked quickly, and made the whole process easy. Price was fair and the floor turned out even better than I expected — looks awesome! Definitely recommend them.

Our Process

Our 5-Step Flake Floor Installation

Same five steps on every flake job — diamond grind, repair, basecoat, broadcast flake to rejection, polyaspartic topcoat.

1

Garage assessment & written estimate

We inspect your concrete, look for cracks, moisture and previous coatings, and talk through how you use the garage. You get a clear written estimate and timeline before any work starts.

2

Mechanical surface preparation

We diamond-grind the concrete to open the pores and remove weak or contaminated material. Proper grinding is the most important step — it's what lets the coating bond tightly and last for years in Chicago's climate.

3

Repairs & crack filling

Pits, cracks and spalls are repaired so the finished floor looks smooth and consistent instead of highlighting existing damage.

4

Multi-layer coating system

Based on the system you chose, we apply a primer or basecoat, broadcast decorative flakes if selected, scrape and vacuum, then finish with a durable polyaspartic topcoat.

5

Final walkthrough & care instructions

We review the finished floor with you, explain cure times for Chicago temperatures, and share simple cleaning and maintenance tips so your coating keeps looking great.
