Texture and Durability in One Coating

Epoxy flake flooring systems for garages and commercial spaces in Plano, Texas

When you want a floor in Plano that looks finished while adding grip and hiding minor imperfections, epoxy flake systems deliver both. These coatings use colored vinyl chips broadcast into wet epoxy to create a textured, uniform surface that works in garages, showrooms, and light industrial settings. Cloud 9 Coatings installs flake systems across Plano and surrounding areas, using multi-layer processes that hold up under foot traffic and wheeled loads.

The process begins with grinding the concrete to remove contaminants and open the surface for bonding. A pigmented epoxy base coat is applied, and decorative flakes are broadcast across the wet surface until coverage reaches your desired density. After curing, the floor is scraped to remove loose flakes, and a clear topcoat is applied to seal the system and add abrasion resistance. The result is a floor that hides cracks, resists slipping, and cleans easily.

What the flake system adds beyond solid epoxy

Your floor in Plano gets prepped with diamond grinding to remove oils and weak concrete. The base coat is rolled on evenly, and flakes are scattered by hand or blower until the surface is covered. After the epoxy cures, loose flakes are scraped off, and the topcoat is applied to lock everything in place. Cloud 9 Coatings offers a wide range of color blends to match your space or brand.

Once installed, you will notice a floor with visible texture that provides better traction than smooth epoxy, especially in areas exposed to moisture or dust. The flakes help mask small cracks and surface variations, creating a more uniform appearance. The topcoat protects the flakes from wear and makes the floor easier to clean, with spills and dirt wiping up without staining the base layer.

The system works well on slabs that are structurally sound but cosmetically imperfect. It does not eliminate deep cracks or repair damaged concrete, but it does cover minor flaws that would show through a solid color coating. Cloud 9 Coatings uses full-broadcast or partial-broadcast methods depending on your needs and budget.

Common questions about flake flooring systems

These are the questions Cloud 9 Coatings hears most often from property owners in Plano who are considering flake systems, covering everything from installation time to long-term performance.

What is the difference between full and partial broadcast?
Full broadcast covers the base coat completely with flakes, creating a uniform texture and hiding the base color. Partial broadcast leaves some base coat visible, reducing material cost while still adding texture and visual interest.
How long does a flake system take to install?
Most installations in Plano take two to three days, including prep, coating, and topcoat. You can walk on the floor within 24 hours, but full curing for heavy use takes about 5 days.
Why do flake floors resist slipping better than smooth epoxy?
The flakes create a textured surface that provides better grip underfoot, especially when wet or dusty. The topcoat seals the flakes without eliminating the texture, so the floor stays slip-resistant over time.
What happens if a flake comes loose?
Loose flakes are scraped off before the topcoat is applied, so any that were not fully embedded in the base coat are removed. Once topcoated, the remaining flakes are locked in place and will not come loose under normal use.
How do you choose a color blend?
Cloud 9 Coatings offers sample chips and photos of completed floors to help you pick a blend that matches your space. You can choose high-contrast blends for visual impact or neutral tones for a subtle, professional look.
