Flakes for epoxy flooring are used to enhance the appearance and texture qualities of high performance flooring systems and other surfaces.
Recommended steps
1) Apply your initial epoxy resin base coat.
2) Right after you do the base coat, cover the whole floor with our high quality flakes.
3) After 8-12 hours, remove the extra flakes that did not adhere to the initial epoxy coating.
4) Apply a top coat of our Polyaspartic for an optimal resistance to UV, chemical spills and scratches.
Coverage
10lbs of flakes cover about 65 sq.ft. as a full broadcast. It will cover much more as a partial broadcast
20lbs of flakes cover about 125 sq.ft. as a full broadcast. It will cover much more as a partial broadcast
40lbs of flakes cover about 250 sq.ft. as a full broadcast. It will cover much more as a partial broadcast
Use significantly less if all you need is a sparse / partial broadcast.
Base coat color recommendation
Choose a color pigment that complements the predominant hue of your flakes. For example:
Gravel: Light Grey solid color pigment base coat
Domino: Light Grey solid color pigment base coat
Carbon Black: Black solid pigment base coat
Night Blue: Light Grey solid color pigment base coat
Sandstorm: Tan solid color pigment base coat
Night Red: Light Grey solid color pigment base coat
* You might notice that some flakes at the bottom became powderish, that is normal due to shipping and movement. We make sure to add a bit more flakes to compensate for this small loss.
