Flakes – Maui Epoxy Solutions

Concrete or substrate: This is the base layer upon which the entire flooring system is built. Proper surface preparation is essential for a successful flake epoxy flooring installation. The concrete surface must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, grease, or existing coatings.
Pigmented basecoat: This is a colored layer of epoxy that’s applied over the concrete substrate. The basecoat provides a consistent background color for the entire flooring system.
Flakes: These are small, decorative chips or flakes made from vinyl or acrylic, that provide extra resistance to your flooring system, and are broadcast onto the wet pigmented basecoat. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and are used to create a speckled, textured effect on the surface.
Clear topcoat: This is a final layer of clear polyaspartic that’s applied over the flakes and pigmented basecoat. The topcoat provides a glossy, protective finish that seals and protects the surface from stains, abrasions, and UV rays.
