Flake epoxy floors provide a durable, attractive, and easy-to-clean surface for your home. Whether you want to improve your garage, patio, or driveway, decorative epoxy flooring adds both style and protection. Additionally, flake epoxy creates a customized appearance that complements your space.
At Southeast Epoxy, we install high-quality flake epoxy floors throughout Myrtle Beach, SC, and surrounding areas. Our team focuses on proper preparation, professional installation, and long-lasting results.
What Are Flake Epoxy Floors?
Flake epoxy floors feature decorative vinyl flakes that are broadcast into a base coat. These flakes create a textured, colorful appearance.
Next, a protective polyaspartic top coat seals the surface. This helps protect the flooring from stains, chemicals, and everyday wear.
Additionally, decorative flakes come in a variety of colors and combinations. At Southeast Epoxy, we offer over 30 flake color combinations and custom mixes.
As a result, homeowners can choose a floor that matches their style while enjoying the durability of a professionally installed coating.

Proper Preparation Makes a Difference
Long-lasting flake epoxy floors start with proper concrete preparation.
At Southeast Epoxy, we never skip this important step.
First, our crew evaluates the existing concrete. We inspect the surface for cracks and imperfections.
Next, we fill cracks and address areas that need attention. Then, we diamond grind the entire concrete surface.
Diamond grinding removes surface contaminants and creates the proper texture for adhesion.
Additionally, we clean the surface before applying the product.
By following these steps, we create a strong foundation for the coating.
Our Flake Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
At Southeast Epoxy, we follow a detailed installation process. Each step contributes to the finished product.
Step 1: Apply the Base Coat
Once the concrete is properly prepared, we apply the base coat.
Our crew carefully rolls the product across the surface. We focus on even coverage to create a consistent foundation.
Step 2: Broadcast Decorative Flakes
Next, we broadcast decorative flakes into the base coat.
These flakes add color, texture, and character to the surface.
Additionally, we offer over 30 flake color combinations and custom mixes. Therefore, homeowners can choose a design that fits their space.
Step 3: Apply the Polyaspartic Top Coat
Finally, we apply a protective polyaspartic top coat.
This layer helps resist stains, chemicals, abrasion, and everyday wear.
Furthermore, our UV-stable top coat helps prevent yellowing from sunlight exposure.
For outdoor installations, we also include a slip-resistant additive for added traction.
As a result, the finished floor combines durability, protection, and decorative appeal.
How Long Does It Take to Install Flake Epoxy Floors?
Many homeowners want to know how long the installation process takes.
At Southeast Epoxy, we complete most standard flake epoxy floors in just one day.
First, we prepare the concrete. Next, we apply the base coat and decorative flakes. Finally, we finish the surface with our polyaspartic top coat.
After installation, the product needs time to cure.
Homeowners typically wait approximately 24 hours before walking on the floor. Additionally, we recommend waiting approximately 72 hours before parking vehicles on the surface.
These curing times help protect the finished product.
How Do You Maintain Flake Epoxy Floors?
Flake epoxy floors are easy to clean and maintain.
Unlike bare concrete, the coated surface resists absorbing many common spills. Therefore, dirt, oil, and other messes are easier to remove.
For regular cleaning, sweep away dirt and debris. Next, use water and a suitable cleaner when necessary.
Additionally, clean spills promptly to help preserve the appearance of the floor.
With simple maintenance, your decorative flooring continues to look great.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Professional installation plays an important role in the durability of flake epoxy floors.
Some DIY products rely on minimal surface preparation. However, proper preparation helps the coating bond securely to concrete.
At Southeast Epoxy, we diamond grind the entire surface before applying our product.
We also fill cracks, apply the base coat, broadcast decorative flakes, and finish with a protective polyaspartic top coat.
Furthermore, we never skip steps during installation.
By following this process, we create a durable finish designed to resist peeling, chipping, and everyday wear.
