Flake Epoxy Flooring Questions

Light foot traffic is typically possible within 24 hours. Vehicle traffic usually requires 72 hours. The exact cure time depends on the topcoat formula and slab temperature, and it is listed in your written estimate before work starts.

Standard polyurethane topcoats can yellow under sustained UV exposure. For garages and any space with sun exposure, a UV-stable topcoat formula is specified instead. This is confirmed during the on-site assessment and written into the estimate.

Yes. Surface profiling removes surface contaminants and opens the slab for adhesion. Cracks are repaired before the base coat goes down. The chip layer then masks minor texture variations that a solid-color coat would leave visible.

Moisture vapor migrating through the slab creates pressure under the coating. Without a barrier where conditions require one, the epoxy can blister and delaminate within months. The on-site assessment checks slab moisture before the scope is written.

Yes. Flake size and color blend are selected before the written estimate is issued. The chosen blend is documented in the estimate so there is no ambiguity on installation day.

The broadcast chip layer adds light texture that improves traction compared to a smooth solid-color coat. For areas that stay wet regularly, the topcoat can be specified with an additional anti-slip additive, confirm this during your on-site assessment.
