At Epoxy Garage Floors Montgomery, we specialize in transforming ordinary concrete into extraordinary spaces with high-performance coatings. One of the most popular and visually striking options we offer is full flake epoxy flooring. Whether you’re upgrading your garage, commercial space, showroom, or patio, full flake systems provide the perfect blend of durability, safety, and style.
In this article, we’ll break down exactly what full flake epoxy flooring is, the benefits it brings, how it compares to other finishes, and why it’s the ultimate way to make your space stand out.
What Is Full Flake Epoxy Flooring?
Full flake epoxy flooring—sometimes called broadcast flake or decorative flake epoxy—is a multi-layered floor coating system that involves broadcasting vinyl flakes (or chips) across the entire surface of a freshly applied epoxy base coat. The flakes are then locked in place with a clear topcoat to create a durable, textured finish.
These flakes come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and combinations, offering nearly unlimited design options. You can go for a natural granite look, bold color contrasts, or subtle earth tones, depending on your space and style preferences.

Key Benefits of Full Flake Epoxy Flooring
1. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Full flake epoxy flooring delivers a high-end, visually dynamic look that elevates any room. The flakes add depth, texture, and vibrant color, transforming plain concrete into a designer surface. It’s an excellent way to finish your space with style and personality.
2. Exceptional Durability
Our full flake epoxy systems are engineered to withstand heavy traffic, abrasion, dropped tools, chemical spills, and even automotive fluids. The multi-layered system protects your floors from wear and tear for years to come.
3. Slip Resistance
The textured surface created by the flakes improves traction, making your floors safer to walk on—even when wet. This makes full flake epoxy ideal for garages, workshops, driveways, and commercial spaces where safety is a top priority.
4. Low Maintenance
Once installed, full flake epoxy floors are incredibly easy to clean. Dirt, dust, and spills sit on the surface rather than penetrating the concrete, so you can easily sweep or mop as needed. There’s no need for waxing or polishing.
5. UV and Chemical Resistance
Our topcoat options include UV-resistant and chemical-resistant finishes, protecting the color and structure of your floors even in direct sunlight or harsh working conditions.
6. Seamless and Hygienic
Unlike tile or concrete joints, epoxy flooring has no seams or grout lines, which means no hiding places for bacteria, mold, or allergens. That makes it perfect for clean environments such as garages, medical facilities, and food prep areas.
Why Full Flake Epoxy Is a Great Finishing Touch
Adding full flake epoxy to your floor isn’t just about function—it’s about making a bold design statement. The flakes allow you to customize the look and feel of your space, giving it a polished, professional appearance that instantly sets it apart from typical concrete or painted surfaces.
Whether you’re renovating your garage into a showroom for your car collection or giving your outdoor patio a durable upgrade, a full flake epoxy floor brings cohesion, color, and character to any environment.
It’s also an excellent finishing touch for:
-
Retail stores – where visual appeal draws customers
-
Restaurants and cafes – where easy-to-clean floors are essential
-
Industrial warehouses – where durability and safety matter
-
Residential garages and basements – where you want long-lasting value and beauty
How the Full Flake Epoxy Installation Process Works
Here at Epoxy Garage Floors Montgomery, we follow a detailed, professional installation process that ensures optimal performance and appearance:
1. Concrete Preparation
We mechanically grind the surface to open up the pores of the concrete. This step is critical for proper adhesion and long-term success.
2. Crack and Imperfection Repair
We patch cracks and fill voids to ensure a smooth, even base. This ensures your flakes and epoxy topcoats apply uniformly.
3. Base Coat Application
A colored epoxy base coat is applied, customized to match the look you want for your finished floor.
4. Full Broadcast of Flakes
While the base coat is still wet, we broadcast flakes across the entire surface, ensuring 100% coverage. This is what gives the floor its signature textured and speckled look.
5. Excess Flake Removal and Scraping
After curing, we remove any loose flakes and scrape the surface to create an even texture.
6. Clear Topcoat Application
We finish the system with a clear, UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat that locks in the flakes and protects your floor from wear and tear.
Design Options: Express Yourself with Flake Colors
One of the most exciting aspects of full flake epoxy flooring is the ability to customize your floor with a variety of flake blends and finishes. Whether you want a classic gray granite look, something bright and modern, or a custom blend that matches your company branding or favorite sports team, we’ve got you covered.
We offer a diverse catalog of color flakes, and our team can help you pick the best combination based on your space, lighting, and use-case.
