Flaked epoxy — also called chip epoxy or broadcast epoxy — is one of the most popular flooring systems we install at ACE Luxury Epoxy Floors. Vinyl flake chips are broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat, then sealed under a protective topcoat, creating a surface that is durable, slip-resistant, and visually striking. We serve homeowners, business owners, and industrial clients across Metro Atlanta, Gainesville, Oakwood, Buford, and throughout North Georgia.
Flaked epoxy flooring is a multi-layer system where decorative vinyl flake chips are scattered into a wet epoxy base coat and then sealed under a clear or tinted topcoat. The flakes add color, depth, and texture to the surface while also improving traction. The finished floor is seamless, easy to clean, and resistant to stains, chemicals, and heavy traffic.
Flaked epoxy is one of the best flooring options available for Georgia garages. It handles the heat, humidity, and occasional cold snaps that come with North Georgia's climate without cracking or peeling. It resists automotive fluids, road salt, and tire marks. The textured chip surface also provides traction that bare concrete or smooth epoxy cannot match — important for wet Georgia mornings.
No — flaked epoxy is significantly less slippery than smooth epoxy or polished concrete. The chip texture creates natural grip underfoot. We also apply a non-slip additive to the topcoat on all garage floors and outdoor-adjacent surfaces as a standard practice. This makes it safe for kids, pets, and vehicles while keeping the finished look sharp and clean.
A professionally installed flaked epoxy floor typically lasts 10 to 15 years in residential settings and 5 to 10 years in heavy commercial or industrial environments. Longevity depends heavily on surface preparation and topcoat quality. Every installation by ACE Luxury Epoxy Floors includes proper grinding, moisture testing, and a commercial-grade topcoat — the steps that most budget installers skip and that determine how long your floor actually performs.
Flaked epoxy uses vinyl chip flakes broadcast into the base coat to create a textured, multi-toned surface — it's the classic garage floor look. Metallic epoxy uses metallic pigments manipulated during application to create a smooth, swirling, liquid-metal effect. Flaked epoxy is generally more slip-resistant and better suited for high-traffic practical spaces. Metallic epoxy is more visually dramatic and popular in showrooms, luxury garages, and interior spaces where aesthetics are the priority.
Yes — and this is one of the most enjoyable parts of the process. Flake chips come in dozens of colors and we can blend multiple colors to create a custom mix that matches your space, your vehicle, or your brand. During your free consultation we bring samples and walk you through the options. Common choices in the Metro Atlanta area include black and gray blends, earth tones, and high-contrast custom mixes.
Flaked epoxy floors are among the easiest to maintain of any flooring type. Sweep or blow out debris regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a mop with a pH-neutral cleaner and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners that can break down the topcoat. For garage floors, clean up automotive fluid spills promptly. With basic care your floor will look great for years without needing refinishing.
Most flaked epoxy garage floor installations in the Gainesville and Metro Atlanta area are completed in 2 days. Day one covers surface preparation — grinding, crack repair, and primer. Day two covers the base coat, chip broadcast, and topcoat. Foot traffic is safe after 24 hours; vehicles should wait 72 hours. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine.
Absolutely love the quality of their epoxy coating work! Beautiful craftsmanship, great communication, and fast turnaround. Highly recommend supporting this amazing small business!
Andy and his team did great work for a great price. I would absolutely recommend. Our outdoor living space is much nicer and significantly easier to keep clean.
From the first consultation to the final coat, Andy delivered nothing but excellence. His knowledge about materials, prep work, and application techniques is seriously impressive — he explained everything clearly and made the whole process completely stress-free. The finished floor is beyond beautiful: smooth, flawless, and built to withstand heavy use. It completely transformed the space, giving it a fresh, high-end look that's also super durable. You can tell Andy takes real pride in his work — every detail was perfect.
