Years of oil drips and tire marks don't just wash off an old garage slab. Flake flooring covers that history instead of fighting it. Drexel Heights Epoxy Pros broadcasts color chips into a pigmented base coat, then seals it under a clear topcoat, turning a stained gray slab into a textured, speckled finish that actually hides what's underneath.
It's not just cosmetic. The flake layer adds a bit of texture underfoot, which helps on garage floors that get wet from monsoon tracking or hose-down cleaning.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Decorative Flake Flooring
Multi-Color Flake Chips
A blend of colored chips creates a decorative, speckled appearance that does the heavy lifting on older Drexel Heights garage slabs with years of staining.
Pigmented Base Epoxy
A tinted base coat provides the background color beneath the flake pattern.
Clear Polyurethane Topcoat
A clear finish adds gloss and protects the flake layer from scuffing.
Metallic Flake Accent
Metallic flakes add shimmer and depth for homeowners wanting more than a flat finish.
Matte Finish Sealer
A matte sealer option offers a non-reflective look for homeowners who find gloss too busy.
Anti-Slip Grit Blend
A grit additive mixed into the topcoat improves traction, useful where monsoon moisture tracks in from outside.

Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs
Can epoxy go over an old oil-stained garage slab for a flake finish?
As long as the slab is degreased and ground first. Flake actually hides residual staining better than a solid color finish would.
What is typically included in flake flooring?
Surface prep, a pigmented base coat, flake broadcast, and a clear protective topcoat. Metallic accents and anti-slip additives are optional.
How much does decorative flake flooring cost?
Most garage and patio jobs run $5 to $10 per square foot depending on flake density and prep needs.
Does flake flooring need a different prep process than solid color epoxy?
The grinding and degreasing steps are the same. The difference is in the broadcast and scrape steps once the base coat goes down.
Is DIY flake flooring a good idea?
Bagged flake kits rarely achieve an even broadcast or proper scrape-and-seal finish, which is where most DIY attempts fall short on appearance.
