"Epoxy floors are more than durable—they’re customizable works of art. Explore the endless decorative flake options with Floor Kings."

Epoxy floors have revolutionized modern spaces with their durability, low maintenance, and sleek aesthetics. But what truly sets them apart is the ability to incorporate decorative flakes, turning a simple floor into a statement piece. These flakes add texture, visual interest, and even improved functionality, such as slip resistance.

At Floor Kings, we specialize in crafting flake epoxy floors that suit your unique vision. From natural tones to bold, contemporary blends, let’s explore the many options available.


1. What Are Decorative Flakes in Epoxy Floors?

Decorative flakes are small chips made from materials like vinyl or mica, broadcast over a wet epoxy base to create a stunning finish. Once sealed, these flakes provide a seamless, textured surface that enhances both aesthetics and performance.

Benefits of Decorative Flakes:

  • Customization: Available in countless colors, textures, and sizes for personalized designs.

  • Slip Resistance: Adds traction, making floors safer for high-traffic areas.

  • Durability: Reinforces the epoxy layer, extending its lifespan.

  • Versatility: Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.


2. Types of Decorative Flakes

Decorative flakes come in a variety of styles to match any taste or functional need. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular options:

1. Solid Color Flakes

  • Simple, clean designs with a uniform color.

  • Ideal for minimalist spaces, workshops, and garages.

2. Multi-Color Flakes

  • Blend various hues for dynamic, eye-catching patterns.

  • Perfect for showrooms, retail spaces, and recreational areas.

3. Metallic Flakes

  • Add shimmer and elegance to epoxy floors.

4. Mica Flakes

6. Carbon Flakes

Flake size can dramatically impact the final look of your epoxy floor. Here are the common options:

  • Micro Flakes (1/32"): Subtle texture for a smooth, understated appearance.

  • Small Flakes (1/16"): Balanced texture with a clean finish.

  • Medium Flakes (1/8"): The most popular size, offering both texture and coverage.

  • Large Flakes (1/4" or larger): Create bold, dramatic patterns with high visual impact.

Choosing the right size depends on the desired aesthetic and the space’s functional requirements. At Floor Kings, we guide you through these choices to ensure the perfect result.
