What Are Epoxy Flakes and How Do They Work?
Epoxy flake flooring is created by broadcasting small vinyl or acrylic chips — called flakes or chips — into a freshly applied wet epoxy base coat. The chips stick to the surface and are then sealed under one or two clear epoxy or polyurethane topcoats. The finished floor has a decorative, slightly textured appearance that resembles terrazzo or speckled stone.
The vinyl flakes serve several purposes beyond aesthetics. They add a degree of texture to the surface, which increases grip underfoot. They also hide minor surface imperfections in the concrete below and add an extra layer of depth and dimension to the finished floor that solid-color epoxy simply cannot achieve.
Types of Epoxy Flake Flooring Systems
We offer multiple epoxy flake systems, each designed for specific environments and design preferences:
Standard Broadcast Flake System
Flakes are tossed uniformly onto the wet base coat until a consistent coverage is achieved. The topcoat seals everything flat. Best for garages, utility rooms, and workshops.
Full-Broadcast (Solid Flake) System
Flakes are applied heavily and completely cover the base coat, creating a dense, almost mosaic-like surface. More decorative and great for showrooms and commercial lobbies.
Partial-Broadcast Flake System
Fewer flakes are used, allowing the base coat color to show through. Creates a more subtle, artistic effect with visible contrast between the base and the chips.
Colored Base with Contrasting Flakes
Matching or contrasting base coats alongside specific flake blends create custom color stories. Ideal for branded commercial spaces.
Anti-Slip Flake System
Aluminum oxide grit is added to the topcoat over the flake system for enhanced traction in kitchens, ramps, and pool surrounds.
Flake Colors and Sizes Available
Our epoxy flake palette is extensive, allowing virtually unlimited customization to match any interior or branding requirement:
Flake Sizes
1mm, 3mm, 6mm, and 12mm chips. Smaller chips suit finer patterns; larger chips create bolder effects.
Standard Blends
Granite Grey, Desert Sand, Ocean Blue, Classic Marble, Onyx Black, Pearl White, and many more.
Custom Blends
We mix flake colors to match your brand colors, interior design scheme, or specific design brief.
Metallic Flake Options
Silver, gold, and copper metallic flakes combined with standard vinyl chips for added sparkle and dimensionality.
Single-Color Flakes
For a cleaner, modern look — single-color flakes over a contrasting base create a sharp, contemporary aesthetic.
Where Epoxy Flake Flooring Is Used in Dubai
Residential Garages
The most popular application in Dubai. Flake floors resist motor oil, fuel, and tire marks while keeping the garage looking immaculate.
Home Gyms and Fitness Studios
The textured surface provides grip for exercise equipment and reduces fatigue during workouts.
Commercial Gyms and CrossFit Boxes
Full-broadcast flake systems handle dropped weights and heavy foot traffic. They can be mopped clean in minutes after a tough session.
Retail Showrooms
A speckled epoxy floor creates a premium visual backdrop without the fragility of natural marble or the high cost of stone.
Restaurants and Cafes
Anti-slip flake systems in kitchen and service areas meet safety standards and stay hygienic with daily cleaning.
Medical Clinics and Pharmacies
Light-colored flake systems are easy to inspect for cleanliness and resistant to common disinfectant chemicals.
School Corridors and Canteens
Durable, colorful, and easy to maintain. Flake patterns also help disguise the inevitable scuffs and marks from heavy student use.
Basements and Utility Rooms
Protects concrete, resists moisture, and brightens otherwise dark underground spaces.
Epoxy Flake Flooring Installation Process
Our installation process is carefully planned to ensure maximum adhesion, durability, and a flawless decorative finish every time.
Surface Preparation
Diamond grinding or shot blasting to achieve the correct concrete surface profile. Cracks, joints, and divots are repaired with epoxy mortar.
Moisture and pH Testing
We test concrete moisture levels before priming. Excessive moisture can cause adhesion failure. If required, a moisture-tolerant primer is used.
Primer Application
A penetrating epoxy primer is applied to seal the concrete and ensure the base coat bonds firmly to the substrate.
Base Coat Application
The colored epoxy base coat is applied evenly across the floor. Timing here is critical — the flakes must be broadcast while the coat is still wet.
Flake Broadcasting
Flakes are scattered over the wet surface either by hand or with a broadcast spreader. For full-broadcast systems, excess flakes are removed after curing with a rigid blade or floor grinder.
Grout Coat (Full Broadcast Only)
A thin epoxy grout coat is applied over the cured full-broadcast surface to fill gaps between chips and create a flat surface before the topcoat.
Clear Topcoat
One or two coats of a UV-stable polyurethane topcoat seal and protect the flake layer, providing the final gloss level and long-term durability.
Curing and Handover
Light foot traffic is possible within 24 hours. Full cure in 5 to 7 days. We walk you through care and maintenance at handover.
Epoxy Flakes Flooring Cost in Dubai
The cost of epoxy flake flooring in Dubai typically ranges based on the system chosen, area size, flake blend, number of topcoat layers, and any additional requirements such as anti-slip additives. Larger areas benefit from economies of scale — a 500 sqm warehouse floor will be priced more favorably per sqm than a 30 sqm garage.
