Epoxy Flake Floor Installation Atlanta

Most installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the space size and condition. Day one involves surface prep—grinding or shot blasting the concrete and repairing any damage. Day two is application—base coat, flake broadcasting, and initial cure. Day three is sealing and final topcoat. You can usually walk on it after 24-48 hours, but wait 5-7 days before heavy traffic or moving equipment back. Schools and retail stores often schedule installations over weekends to minimize disruption.

Coverage determines appearance and functionality. Partial broadcast (30-50%) creates a speckled look where your base coat color shows through—works well for cleaner aesthetics in offices or showrooms. Medium broadcast (50-80%) balances coverage and texture—the most versatile option for garages and retail. Full broadcast (90-100%) gives maximum texture, slip resistance, and noise reduction—best for warehouses and manufacturing where performance matters more than aesthetics. More flakes mean more texture and grip but also higher material costs.

Yes, and that’s one of the main reasons people choose it. The flakes create a textured surface that provides grip even when wet—much better than smooth epoxy or polished concrete. The more flakes you broadcast, the more texture and traction you get. This makes it popular for commercial kitchens, garages, and anywhere moisture is a concern. It won’t feel rough underfoot like some anti-slip coatings—just enough texture to prevent slipping without being uncomfortable to walk on.

Absolutely. Flakes come in an extensive color range—earth tones, bright colors, metallics, you name it. You can mix multiple colors for a custom blend or stick with a single color. For retail spaces and commercial buildings wanting to match brand colors, we’ll work with you to find the right combination. The base coat color also influences the overall look, so we consider that along with the flake colors. Bring color samples or brand guidelines and we’ll create something that fits your vision.

They handle it well. The seamless, non-porous surface doesn’t trap moisture or allow mold and mildew growth—important in our climate. The low-VOC formulations we use cure properly even in humid conditions, though timing matters during installation. We monitor weather and adjust our schedule when needed to ensure proper curing. Once installed, humidity doesn’t affect performance. The sealed surface resists moisture penetration, making these floors suitable for basements and ground-level commercial spaces where moisture can be an issue.

Minimal. Sweep or dust regularly to remove dirt and grit—that prevents scratches from being ground into the topcoat. Mop with pH-neutral cleaner when needed. The seamless surface means no grout lines where dirt accumulates. Most commercial spaces just sweep daily and mop weekly. Residential garages need even less—sweep after parking, occasional mop for oil drips or dirt. The topcoat protects the flakes and epoxy underneath, so you’re not scrubbing the actual floor material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the sealer over time.
