What is Flake Flooring?

Flake flooring is a decorative and durable type of epoxy floor coating that can be used to protect and decorate new – or breathe life into old – concrete surfaces. 

Benefits of Flake Flooring

Many companies chose flake flooring for its ease and strength. Our DecoFlake flooring is the perfect solution for floors that must withstand extreme temperatures, foot and machine traffic, chemicals, oil, and other fluids without peeling or corroding over years of constant use. Food processing, electronics, pharmaceutical, meat and poultry, distilleries, dairy, industrial, and manufacturing facilities are just some of the industries for which flake flooring is the perfect solution. 

Seamless, easily cleanable surface

Because epoxy is poured, there aren’t seams, joints, or ridges like with tile or other types of flooring. This makes flake flooring a more sanitary flooring option, eliminating cracks and crevices for dirt and bacteria to hide during cleanings. An anti-microbial additive can take the sanitation to another level for food plants or healthcare facilities. Also, its smooth surface makes it easier for hospital gurneys or forklifts to roll over without jostling or resistance from floor seam bumps. 

Resistant to stains and water

Flake flooring holds up well against stains and water. Unlike wood, laminate, or other types of flooring, epoxy it does not warp or water stain as a result of water damage. When inevitable spills happen, clean up is very easy and stains are rare. 

Durability

When it comes to flooring, our DecoFlake flooring is the toughest! The chemical compounds create an impact resistant floor that is perfect to handle shock, heat, heavy machinery, and more without worrying about cracks and wear and tear. The flooring is also durable enough to withstand chemical spills for use in chemical plants. 

Appearance

With a smooth, shiny, and seamless appearance, flake flooring is an attractive option for many different buildings. Our DecoFlake flooring options offers many beautiful colors, perfect for hotel lobbies or athletic complexes. 

Cost effectiveness

Another benefit of flake flooring is it’s extremely cost effective. The cost per square foot is significantly lower than other types of flooring. The real deal comes in knowing that the flooring will not have to be replaced for many years and requires low maintenance. 

Strength

When rating the flexural strength, most flake floors are more than 3x’s stronger than concrete, which is usually under 3,000 psi. Flake flooring is created to withstand heavy machinery, high traffic, and extreme temperatures such as those found in food processing. There is nothing stronger!

Safety

The number one priority of any company should be safety. An anti-slip coating can be installed so there is no need to worry about slips and accidents with flake floors. This is a great safety measure for areas with high foot or machinery traffic. Flake floors are also highly visible, without any hidden cracks or bumps that would cause accidents.

Eco-friendly

There is no danger in flake flooring eroding or flaking to pollute the environment. Additionally, installation leaves behind less waste than other types of flooring. Because it isn’t porous, harsh cleaning chemicals aren’t needed. These factors all make our DecoFlake flooring an eco-friendly option.

Easy maintenance 

Our DecoFlake flooring is one of the easiest types of floors to maintain. It doesn’t chip or crack and is nonporous and it will last years.
