A flake epoxy floor pairs an epoxy base coat with a broadcast of color flakes and a polyaspartic top coat, which is why it has become the signature build for homes and businesses across Knoxville, TN, and nearby areas. The flakes add texture, traction, and a granite-like look that hides minor imperfections, while the polyaspartic top coat seals everything in with gloss and durability.
It is a favorite for garages, basements, patios, and commercial floors that need to look great and take daily wear. The team at 865 Coatings and Concrete Restoration installs every floor over commercial-grade base products and backs garage floors with a lifetime adhesion warranty. We are family-owned, licensed, bonded, and insured, with more than 60 years of combined experience. Call (865) 388-2489 to start your floor.
Flake epoxy, sometimes called a chip system, is a layered floor built for both looks and toughness. Vinyl color flakes are broadcast into a freshly applied epoxy base coat, then locked under a clear polyaspartic top coat. The result is a seamless, multi-tone surface with subtle texture that reads like natural stone.
Because the flakes come in many colors and sizes, you can dial in anything from a subtle, neutral blend to a bold, high-contrast look. The build is the same either way: a strong base, decorative flake, and a protective top coat that does the heavy lifting on wear and gloss.
This build earns its popularity by solving several problems at once.
You choose how much flake goes down. A full broadcast covers the base coat completely for maximum texture and a rich, stone-like finish. A partial broadcast scatters flake more lightly for a subtler look that still shows some base color. Either way, the choice comes down to the look you want and how the space is used.
Browse the color chart to explore flake blends and colors, and the project gallery to see finished flake floors in real Knoxville spaces. If you want a glassy, marbled look instead of texture, compare it with our metallic epoxy, or see how it stacks up against a solid finish on the epoxy flooring page. You can review every option on our coating systems page.
The same build adapts to a wide range of spaces.
A flake floor only performs if the prep and layering are done right, so we follow a deliberate process.
Consultation and quote. We look at how you use the space and the condition of your concrete, then recommend the right flake blend and provide a written quote.
Surface preparation. We mechanically grind the concrete and repair cracks and joints so the coating bonds properly.
Base coat and flake broadcast. We apply the epoxy base coat and broadcast your chosen flake blend, full or partial, across the floor.
Scrape and top coat. Once cured, we scrape back loose flake for a smooth feel, then seal everything under a clear polyaspartic top coat.
Cure and walkthrough. The floor cures fully, then we review the result and care steps with you.
The flake is what you see, but the prep and the polyaspartic top coat are what make the floor last.
Flake floors are installed over more than one day, since the base coat needs to cure before the flake can be scraped and the top coat applied. That sequence is exactly what gives you a smooth, durable, long-lasting finish. Garage installations carry our lifetime adhesion warranty, and other flake applications carry our 1-year warranty, with details on the warranty information page.
The flake texture adds traction, which makes it a strong choice for garages, basements, and wet areas. We can add extra slip resistance on request.
Yes. You pick from a wide range of flake blends and colors, and decide between a full or partial broadcast for the look you want.
Garages, basements, patios, porches, and commercial floors are all good candidates. We also coat surfaces many contractors avoid, so ask us about your space.
It runs over more than one day, since the base coat must cure before the flake is scraped and the top coat goes on. We will give you a clear timeline with your quote.
