Flake Epoxy Flooring in Denver Metro
The ultimate combination of durability and style. Flake epoxy systems create a textured, slip-resistant surface that hides imperfections and handles heavy use. Perfect for garages, basements, commercial spaces, and anywhere you need a floor that works as hard as it looks.
The Basics
What is Flake Epoxy?
Flake epoxy flooring, also known as chip or broadcast epoxy, is one of the most popular and practical floor coating systems available. The system consists of a durable epoxy base coat, decorative vinyl flakes broadcast into the wet coating, and a clear protective topcoat that seals everything together. The result is a beautiful, textured surface that provides superior traction and hides minor imperfections.
The vinyl flakes come in countless color combinations, from subtle granite-like blends to bold multi-color designs. Each flake is made from colored vinyl material that resists chemicals, UV light, and abrasion. When broadcast at full coverage, the flakes create a seamless, decorative surface that looks professional and performs exceptionally well under demanding conditions.
At Elevated Epoxy Co., we’ve installed flake epoxy systems throughout the Denver Metro area for over a decade. From residential garages in Castle Rock to commercial showrooms in Littleton, our flake floors stand up to Colorado’s harsh conditions year after year. We use only commercial-grade materials that exceed industry standards for adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
Flake epoxy is particularly popular for garages because it handles everything from hot tire pickup to chemical spills without showing wear. The textured surface provides excellent grip even when wet from rain or snow tracked in from outside. And the multi-color flake pattern effectively conceals dust, tire marks, and minor scuffs between cleanings.
Why Choose Us
Benefits of Flake Epoxy Flooring
Discover why flake epoxy is the go-to choice for garages, basements, and commercial floors across Colorado.
Built-In Slip Resistance
The textured flake surface provides natural traction without additional additives. This makes flake epoxy ideal for areas that may get wet — garages, entryways, laundry rooms, and commercial kitchens.
Hides Imperfections
The multi-color flake pattern effectively conceals minor concrete cracks, patches, and surface variations. Dust, footprints, and small debris blend into the pattern between cleanings.
Hot Tire Resistant
Our commercial-grade flake systems are specifically formulated to resist hot tire pickup. You can park your vehicle immediately after driving without worrying about the coating peeling up.
Chemical Resistant
Oil, gasoline, antifreeze, brake fluid, and cleaning chemicals wipe away without staining or damaging the coating. The seamless surface has nowhere for spills to penetrate.
Custom Color Options
Choose from dozens of pre-designed flake blends or create a custom combination to match your space. From subtle earth tones to bold team colors, we can create any look you want.
Lifetime Warranty

Flake Coverage Options
The amount of flake broadcast affects both appearance and performance. We offer three coverage levels to match your aesthetic preferences and functional needs:
Light Broadcast (25%)
Flakes are scattered sparingly, allowing the colored base coat to show through. Creates a subtle decorative accent while maintaining a smooth surface feel.
Medium Broadcast (50-75%)
Balanced coverage creates a decorative pattern with some base coat visible. Popular for residential applications where aesthetics and budget both matter.
Full Broadcast (100%)
Complete flake coverage creates maximum texture and completely hides the base coat. The most durable option with the best slip resistance. Recommended for garages and commercial use.

How We Work
Our Flake Epoxy Installation Process
Professional installation is critical for flake epoxy performance. Here’s how we deliver floors that last.
Free Consultation
We assess your concrete condition, discuss color options, and explain coverage levels. You’ll receive a detailed quote with no hidden fees or surprises.
Surface Preparation
We diamond-grind your concrete to create the ideal surface profile for adhesion. All cracks are repaired, and the floor is thoroughly cleaned of oils and contaminants.
Primer Application
A penetrating epoxy primer seals the concrete and creates a chemical bond with the base coat. This step is essential for long-term adhesion in Colorado’s climate.
Base Coat & Flake Broadcast
We apply the colored epoxy base coat in sections, immediately broadcasting flakes into the wet coating. Even distribution ensures consistent coverage and appearance.
Excess Flake Removal
Once cured, we scrape and vacuum loose flakes from the surface. This creates a level base for the topcoat and ensures proper adhesion.
Polyaspartic Topcoat
A clear UV-stable topcoat seals the flakes and provides chemical resistance. This final layer determines the sheen level — from satin to high-gloss.

Commercial Showrooms: Auto dealerships, equipment showrooms, and retail spaces use flake epoxy for its professional appearance and easy maintenance. The slip-resistant texture is safe for high foot traffic.
Warehouses & Workshops: Industrial environments benefit from flake epoxy’s chemical resistance and durability. The textured surface stands up to forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy equipment traffic.
Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens: Food-safe flake epoxy provides a slip-resistant, easy-to-clean surface for commercial food preparation areas. The seamless coating meets health department requirements.
