What is a Flake Epoxy System?
A Flake epoxy system (also called chip flooring) consists of colored decorative flakes broadcast onto a wet epoxy base coat, then sealed with a clear Polyaspartic topcoat. The flakes create a multi-dimensional, textured finish that's both beautiful and functional.
We use premium Torginol flakes—the industry leader in quality decorative epoxy flakes. With hundreds of color combinations available, you can customize your floor to match any style.

Maximum texture and slip resistance. Completely covers the base coat. Our recommendation for most residential garages.
Medium Flake
50-75% flake coverage
Balanced look between base color and flakes. Moderate texture and decorative appeal. Same system — medium broadcast.

Our Professional Installation Process Naples FL
Proper preparation is 90% of a successful epoxy floor. Here's how we ensure your flake floor lasts 15+ years in Florida's demanding climate.
Diamond Grinding (CSP 2-3)
We use industrial diamond grinders to create a CSP 2-3 profile—the optimal texture for epoxy adhesion. This is far superior to acid etching and ensures permanent bonding.
Crack & Surface Repair
All cracks, spalls, and divots are filled with epoxy crack filler and ground smooth. This creates a seamless canvas and prevents future cracking.
100% Solids MVB Epoxy Base
One engineered layer does both jobs: a 100% solids Moisture Vapor Barrier epoxy that blocks up to 25 lbs of moisture transmission AND anchors the whole system — critical for Florida slabs, not a big-box water-based product.
Torginol Flake Broadcast
Premium Torginol decorative flakes are broadcast onto the wet epoxy to full rejection. 200+ color blends available to match your style.
Polyaspartic Clear Coat
Final seal with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat—resists hot tire pickup, yellowing, and abrasion. This is what makes our floors last 15-20 years.
AOX-50 When Applicable
For exterior or high-slip-risk areas we add AOX-50 aluminum oxide to the topcoat — extra traction and wear resistance where Florida sun and rain demand it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flake epoxy floors in Naples, FL
How long does a flake epoxy floor last in Naples, FL?
With proper installation using 100% solids epoxy and polyaspartic topcoat, flake floors last 15-20+ years in Naples. Our UV-stable topcoat prevents yellowing from Florida sun exposure.
Will my garage floor coating peel from hot tires?
No. We use polyaspartic topcoat specifically designed to resist hot tire pickup. Unlike DIY kits, our commercial-grade system handles the heat from hot tires without peeling or discoloring.
How do you prepare the concrete before coating?
We diamond grind the concrete to CSP 2-3 profile (not acid etch) for maximum adhesion. Then we repair all cracks and apply a single 100% solids Moisture Vapor Barrier epoxy base—one layer that blocks moisture AND anchors the system, critical for Florida's humidity.
Can you coat a garage floor with moisture issues?
Yes. Our 100% solids MVB epoxy base blocks up to 25 lbs of moisture vapor transmission in a single engineered layer, making it ideal for Florida slabs. We test moisture levels before installation on every job.
How long until I can park on my new garage floor?
Light foot traffic in 24 hours. You can park vehicles on the floor after 48-72 hours. Full cure takes 7 days, but normal use can begin within 3 days.
What's the difference between flake and metallic epoxy?
Flake epoxy uses colored chips for texture and slip resistance—ideal for garages and pool decks. Metallic creates smooth, 3D swirled effects for a luxury look—better for interior living spaces and showrooms.
