Flake epoxy floors bury a blend of coloured vinyl chips in the base coat, which leaves a speckled finish that disguises grit and gives boots more grip. Kingston garages ask for them more than any other look.
The chips also mask small flaws in older concrete, which helps in the garages and basements of settled areas like Kingscourt and Strathcona Park.
After grinding and crack repair, a tinted base coat is rolled out. While it is still tacky, we toss handfuls of chips over every inch until no base colour shows. When it hardens, the extra chips are scraped up and swept off.
A clear coat then seals the chips in place, usually a polyaspartic that stays clear in sunlight.
Chip blends come in greys, tans, blues, reds and mixed shades. In a Kingston garage, grey and tan blends hide salt residue best. Bolder blends look sharp in basements, gyms and workshops.
Sample boards come with us on the floor check, so you can judge the colour under your own lights.
The chips leave a light texture that helps wet boots and tires. For extra grip near the door, we add fine grit to the clear coat.
Flake epoxy floors in Kingston typically cost $6 to $10 a square foot, depending on the concrete and chip coverage.
Flake epoxy floors are not just for garages. In a basement, the speckles hide lint, pet hair and dust between cleanings. In a home gym, they hide the scuffs that weights and machines leave behind.
A rubber mat under the heaviest equipment keeps the floor looking new for longer.
Flakes come in small, medium and large sizes. Small flakes give a fine, granite-like look. Larger flakes give a bolder pattern that hides more wear. Full coverage, where no base colour shows, is the toughest option and the one we suggest for flake epoxy floors in a garage.
A partial broadcast, with flakes scattered over a solid colour, costs a little less and suits basements and laundry rooms.

Plenty of Kingston properties end up pairing two, like a coated garage with a finished lower level.
Garage floor coating keeps winter brine, motor oil and hot-tire marks on top of the slab, where a squeegee or mop deals with them. Each garage floor coating we put down is bonded to diamond-ground concrete and sealed under a clear coat that holds its colour.

Basement epoxy flooring gives a chilly, dusty lower level a bright, sealed surface that mops dry in minutes after a spill. We fit it to family rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, hobby workshops and student rental suites.

Concrete floor repair deals with the cracks, spalls, dips and peeling paint that would print through a fresh coating. We make the slab solid first, because a new floor is only as sound as the concrete it sits on.

Polyaspartic floor coating sets up within hours, keeps its clarity under sun through an open door, and goes down on cooler concrete than standard epoxy will accept.
