Flake Epoxy Flooring in Apex, NC

Decorative vinyl chips broadcast into the coating for texture, grip, and a finish that hides dust and small imperfections. The most popular, hardest-working garage floor finish in the Triangle.

Why flake is the go-to garage floor finish

Flake systems — sometimes called chip or broadcast systems — start with a base coat, into which colored vinyl flakes are scattered by hand until the floor is fully covered. Once cured, the excess is scraped back and a clear top coat locks everything in. The result is a subtly textured, speckled surface that looks clean and holds up hard.

That texture is the reason flake is so popular for garages and workspaces around Apex. It adds grip underfoot, and the multi-color speckle naturally disguises dust, tire marks, and the minor imperfections every concrete slab has. It's the finish that stays looking good with the least fuss.

What flake epoxy gives you

  • Slip resistance — the flake texture adds grip, with the option to build in more for wet areas.
  • Hides wear — the speckled pattern masks dust, dirt, and small marks between cleanings.
  • Color choice — blends are fully customizable, from subtle grays to bold accent colors.
  • Durability — over a ground slab with a quality top coat, it stands up to vehicles, tools, and traffic.

Built on proper prep

As with every coating we install, the flake finish is only as good as what's underneath. We diamond-grind the concrete, repair cracks and pits, then apply the base, broadcast the flake, and seal it. A polyaspartic top coat can get you back to using the space quickly — often the next day.

Flake systems generally fall within the typical $3–$7 per square foot range, with the exact figure depending on your slab's condition, the flake blend, and top coat. We'll give you a firm estimate after a quick look at the floor.

Common questions

Flake epoxy FAQs

Can I choose the flake color blend?

Yes. Flake blends are fully customizable — you can match a subtle neutral, coordinate with your home, or go bolder. We'll show you options during the estimate.

Is the texture uncomfortable to walk on?

No — a standard flake finish is subtly textured, comfortable underfoot, and easy to sweep and clean. We only add heavier grip where you want extra slip resistance.

How is flake different from a solid color?

A solid color is a smooth, uniform finish; flake adds decorative chips for texture and a speckled look that hides wear better. Many Apex homeowners prefer flake for exactly that reason.

How long does the whole job take?

Most residential garages are one to two days including prep. With a fast-curing top coat, you're often back to walking on it the next day.
