Poly Flake Floors

WHY CHOOSE POLY FLAKE FLOORING?

Perfect for any garage, patio, kitchen, or basement floor, Poly Flake floors add a clean beautiful look to all of your high traffic areas. These floors are made using a custom blend of vinyl flakes that can give your floor the look of granite or terrazzo. With most floors installed in as little as 24 hours, you can be back to using your space in no time!

Fluid applied flooring solutions offer the advantage of being almost seamless, which eliminates the majority of cracks and creases where dust, mildew, and bacteria tend to collect. Because of the monolithic surface of resinous flooring, it is easy to clean, with a hose if necessary, and is also robust enough to survive the application of many harsh chemical  cleaners.

 

BENEFITS OF POLY FLAKE FLOORING

Features are functional and fully customizable

Decorative flake systems can be tailored to better meet the functional demands of a specific location, with applications in a variety of sectors. Flake systems offer the flexibility to pick from a variety of textures to prevent slip and fall accidents, or coatings that can survive extreme temperature fluctuations while also inhibiting microbe development, and other unique formulas as well!

Cleaning is very easy

Fluid applied flooring solutions offer the advantage of being almost seamless, which eliminates the majority of cracks and creases where dust, mildew and bacteria tend to collect and thrive. Because of the monolithic surface of resinous flooring, it is easy to clean with a hose if necessary, and is also robust enough to survive the application of many harsh chemical cleaners.

Proven to be durable and strong

Floor coatings provide a strong barrier over the concrete substrate they are applied to, resulting in increased scratch resistance, improved load bearing capabilities, and ultimately a longer lifespan for your concrete floor.

Epoxy Flake

Exactly as it sounds! We use an industrial 100% solids epoxy base for your primer and binder.

Benefits

  • Can do a high build for added protection.
  • Great flake adhesion and look, can be more cost effective on larger projects (2000sqft +).
  • Hard surface for impact resistance.
 

Limitations

  • Not UV stable.
  • Continues to harden over time.
  • Not as flexible.
  • Longer curing time.

Poly Flake

This system uses a Polyurea base coat as your primer and binder for your decorative flake.

Benefits

  • Flexible.
  • Fast dry time.
  • Chemical bond with concrete.
 

Limits

  • Limited to interior or medium UV exposure areas (Base will fade or turn amber over time).
  • Not stable for high build systems.
  • Low-mid moisture resistance (8-10 psi).

 

Flex flake system

Uses the latest technology in flexible urethane as a base layer.

Benefits

  • Can be used for high build systems.
  • High flexibility, can be used as a water membrane.
  • UV stable base means no fading or changing color.
  • With a primer, it has great moisture resistance (up to 25 psi with prime coat).
  • Adjustable cure rates.
 

Limitations 

  • Slower cure rate (adds 1/2 to 1 day for install)
  • High solvent (Not suitable for some indoor projects due to smell or volatile organic compounds).

POLY FLAKE Color Options

Featured here are our 11 standard color options. Custom colors can be created if these aren’t quite what you’re looking for.

The samples are our standard flake size of 1/4″ but other flake sizes are also offered at 1/8″.

STONE SERIES Color Options

The Stone Series provides the texture and appearance of natural stones under your feet. This product line is just as durable and water resistant as our Poly Flake option, but provides a more natural look.

COMMON QUESTIONS

On average, most floors are installed within 24 hours (1.5 days). Some factors that may change how long an install can take would be the condition of the floor (existing damage, concrete hardness, internal moisture, etc.), the type of coating system chosen, weather, and temperature.

We believe in building your floor to outlast traditional flooring and coating systems. With regular maintenance, you should expect your floor to last up to 15+ years with daily use. It is recommended that you inspect your floor twice a year and have your floor professionally inspected every five years to make sure that the coating is performing up to the standards of its intended use.

Most coating systems will be ready for use within 48 hours and will fully cure within seven days from final coat. Most coating systems will reach an 80-95% cure after 48 hours and full cure after 30 days. In the case of a traditional epoxy system, they will continue to cure and harden over the lifetime of the floor. Make sure to check with your coatings professional on their recommendations for your individual system.

Most spaces are ready within 48 hours! Including your vehicles! There are some factors that may change how soon you can move in. These would again include the type of coating system chosen, weather, temperature, or the size and scope of your project.

Yes! Over time you may find that your floor is starting to lose its sheen, or you may find that you want to change the color. For most floors this is as simple as having Paveman Coatings clean, prep, and apply another clear coat.

Epoxy flooring is not UV stable (not recommended for high UV exposure areas or exterior concrete), continues to cure and harden over its lifetime (when properly installed 10-15+ years), meaning it gets less flexible and is more susceptible to cracking, and it takes a longer time to cure after installation.

We had a grind and seal done on our indoor basement floor. The team was kind and professional, there was no dust/clean up after and the finished produce turned out great! Justin came to check on the project after completion and fix any imperfections himself. Highly recommend!
