A full-rejection flake broadcast sealed under a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat — texture, grip and a one-day install.
Flake is the workhorse of Los Angeles garage floors for a simple reason: the blended chips camouflage the dust, tire scuff and daily grit that a plain floor broadcasts to the whole room, while the texture they leave in the topcoat keeps the surface grippy even wet. It reads as finished stone from the curb and sweeps out like glass.
Underneath the looks is the same chemistry we bring to every install. The slab is opened by diamond grinding to a true bonding profile, cracks are repaired rigid, and a moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat goes down wet to receive the broadcast. We then throw flake to full rejection — the floor takes chips until it cannot hold another — before sealing everything beneath a clear UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Open the garage door to full sun every day for years; the color stays put and hot-tire pickup stays a stranger.

The texture that grips bare feet, under a double topcoat built for sprinklers and sun.
Steps and landings coated to match the main floor, with grip exactly where falls happen.
Stores, lobbies, offices and showrooms that need a tough floor that cleans fast and looks good doing it.
Commercial floors →This is the schedule our crews run on a standard two-car garage — in at 7, topcoat down by evening.
Machines cut the bonding profile the coating needs. Acid etching never touches our floors.
Every pass is vacuumed until the slab is bare and dust-free.
Cracks and divots filled with rigid filler, then ground level with the slab.
Stem walls and steps get coated so the finish turns corners cleanly.
The moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat rolls on wet and keys into the profile.
Your chart blend is thrown into the wet basecoat to full rejection.
What didn't bond gets scraped and vacuumed away; what stayed is locked in.
The UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals the system for the long haul.
Every flake floor we install starts from the same engine — a pigmented moisture-barrier basecoat, a full-rejection flake broadcast, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. From there, the build scales up for smoother texture, a different sheen, or maximum moisture protection.
The one-day install most garages get — everything a flake floor needs, nothing it doesn't.
The standard build plus a second topcoat for a smoother hand and your choice of sheen.
The maximum build — a dedicated clear moisture vapor barrier under the color coat for slabs that need the most protection.
Flake installs at $6.50–$10 per square foot here, which puts a two-car garage up to 400 sq ft at $2,600–$4,000 — ground, repaired, coated and sealed in a single day. Projects start at $2,600.
Larger slabs, patios and pool decks are measured on site, free. If you're weighing flake against metallic or solid color, the LA epoxy guide walks through the trade-offs system by system.
It means we keep throwing flake into the wet basecoat until the surface physically cannot accept another chip — the floor rejects the excess. That saturation is what gives a professional flake floor its even, dense texture. Thin DIY sprinkles leave bald spots that show roller marks and wear through early.
Less than almost any other coated finish. The embedded chips leave a fine orange-peel texture in the topcoat that gives tires and shoes grip even with water on the floor, which is why flake is also our go-to for pool decks and laundry rooms. An additional anti-slip additive can be blended into the topcoat on request.
Flake runs $6.50 to $10 per square foot installed in Los Angeles. A two-car garage up to 400 sq ft lands between $2,600 and $4,000, finished in one day. Every project starts at $2,600, and the firm number comes from a free on-site measure.
Our color chart carries the full standard and marble flake collections — over two dozen in-stock blends from bright grays and tans to blue-accent and black-dominant mixes. Because we stock our own material, chart colors are available without special-order lead times.
You can walk on the floor the evening of the install, carry boxes back in the next morning, and park on it within 48 to 72 hours. The fast turnaround comes from the UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, which cures far quicker than old-style epoxy sealers.
Most flake garages are measured this week and coated the next. The estimate is free, on site, and comes back as one installed number.
