A textured, practical finish that hides wear and adds slip resistance — Tucson’s most popular garage floor option.
Flake epoxy embeds colored vinyl or quartz flakes into a base coat, creating a speckled, textured surface that’s as practical as it is good-looking. It’s the middle-ground choice between basic epoxy and metallic systems — and the option most Tucson homeowners land on.
What is Flake Epoxy?
Flake epoxy flooring broadcasts decorative flakes into a wet epoxy base coat, then seals everything under a protective topcoat. The result is a textured, slip-resistant surface available in dozens of color blends.
Benefits:
- Hides dirt, dust, and tire marks better than solid colors
- Added texture improves slip resistance
- Wide range of custom color blends
- Excellent for garages, patios, and basements
- More budget-friendly than metallic systems
Our Process:
- Free on-site quote — including flake color selection

- Cure time — typically 3–5 days
Why it Works in Tucson’s Climate
The added texture of a flake floor doesn’t just look good — it improves grip when monsoon rain gets tracked into a garage, and our topcoats are built to handle Tucson’s summer heat and hot-tire pickup without softening or lifting. Garages with south-facing doors or long daily sun exposure near the entrance also benefit from the same UV-stable topcoat we use on outdoor coatings, so color stays consistent even in the areas that see the most direct light.
Pricing
