Durable and Stylish Flake Flooring for Every Space
Decorative Flake Flooring: Stylish & Durable Epoxy Solutions
Flake flooring is not only first in class for durability, but its unlimited palette creates a very stylish look. How do epoxy flake flooring systems perform in demanding environments? These epoxy flake flooring systems are industrial-strength, handling heavy traffic and offering chemical resistance without wear.
What is flake flooring?
Flake flooring is an epoxy broadcast system where decorative flakes are applied to a resin‑based coating to create a seamless, non‑porous surface that combines durability with a terrazzo‑type aesthetic. This epoxy floor system is one of our most popular options due to its elegant appearance without sacrificing durability

Key Benefits of Flake Flooring
What are the key benefits of flake flooring?
The key benefits include high durability, chemical resistance, low maintenance (no wax required — simply sweeping and mopping), slip resistance, and design flexibility thanks to unlimited color blends and custom flake sizes.
How long does the installation take, and when can traffic return?
The timeline depends on substrate condition and the system selected. With fast‑curing resins, we have completed installations in as little as two days, making the area ready for service quickly.
How much maintenance does flake flooring require?
Flake flooring requires minimal maintenance — there is no need for waxing; regular sweeping and mopping are sufficient to keep the system in good condition. Why is flake flooring resistant to stains and spills? Its chemical resistance is outstanding, avoiding the pitfalls of staining or spills.
We encourage you to take advantage of our free consultation. We will share our insights and design an epoxy floor that will exceed your expectations.
Full Flake Epoxy Flooring vs. Polyaspartic Flake Flooring: Which is Better?
What is the difference between full‑flake flooring and polyaspartic flake flooring?
Full‑flake epoxy systems and polyaspartic flake systems have similar appearance, but polyaspartic offers faster curing, better UV stability, and slightly higher chemical resistance—at a somewhat higher cost.
Can flake flooring be applied over existing surfaces, such as tile?
Yes — provided the existing surface is well‑bonded and properly prepared (mechanical abrasion, profile creation, removal of old coving, and applying primer). The substrate must meet the manufacturer’s adhesion requirements.
In short, they both perform exceedingly well in most environments, but polyaspartic does provide an even higher level of chemical resistance, UV protection, and accelerates curing time, making service return less of a concern. There is a slight upcharge for the polyaspartic, where we think the benefits bring value to our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flake Flooring
What exactly is flake flooring?
Flake flooring is an epoxy broadcast system where decorative flakes are applied to a resin-based coating. This creates a seamless, non-porous surface that combines industrial-strength durability with a “terrazzo-type” aesthetic.
How does flake flooring perform in demanding environments?
These systems are built for performance. They are “first in class” for durability, capable of handling heavy traffic and providing excellent chemical resistance. Because they are seamless, they avoid the pitfalls of staining or damage from spills that often affect other surfaces.
What is the difference between full-flake epoxy and polyaspartic systems?
While they look similar, polyaspartic flake systems offer faster curing times, better UV stability (preventing yellowing), and slightly higher chemical resistance. HPS Floors notes there is a slight upcharge for polyaspartic, but the benefits often provide significant value for specific client needs.
Can flake flooring be installed over existing tile?
Yes, provided the existing surface is well-bonded. The process requires proper mechanical preparation—including abrasion, creating a profile, removing old coving, and applying a primer—to ensure the substrate meets the manufacturer’s adhesion requirements.
What are the maintenance requirements for these floors?
One of the key benefits is low maintenance. No waxing is required; regular sweeping and mopping are sufficient to keep the floor in top condition. The flake flooring system is specifically designed to be stain-resistant and easy to sanitize.
