Flake floor systems by Simiron
Flake floor systems are one of the most durable and practical concrete coating options available. They combine strength, slip resistance, and a clean finished look that works in garages, basements, commercial spaces, and outdoor areas.
We install flake floor systems using professional-grade materials from Simiron because they hold up long term and perform well in real-use environments.
Why we use Simiron flake systems
Not all flake floors are built the same. The difference is in the materials and the installation process.
Simiron flake systems offer:
-
- Strong adhesion to properly prepared concrete
- Consistent flake blends and coverage
- Compatibility with moisture mitigation systems
- High-performance clear topcoats for durability and UV stability
This allows us to build a coating system around how the space is used, not just how it looks.
How a flake floor system is installed
A flake floor is a multi-step system, not a single coating.
The process includes:
-
- Mechanical surface preparation using diamond grinding
- Crack repair and surface correction
- Moisture evaluation and treatment when needed
- Application of a base coat
- Decorative flake broadcast
- Flake recovery and surface refinement
- Protective clear topcoat application
Each step plays a role in adhesion, durability, and appearance.
Full broadcast vs partial broadcast flake floors
There are two common flake application styles.
Full broadcast systems:
-
- Completely cover the base coat
- Create a denser, more textured surface
- Offer maximum durability and slip resistance
- Hide dirt and minor imperfections very well
Partial broadcast systems:
-
- Use fewer flakes for a lighter texture
- Allow more base color to show
- Work well in lighter-use spaces
- Offer a slightly smoother feel underfoot
We help you choose the right option based on usage and expectations.
Flake floor coating color and design options
Flake floors are available in a wide range of color blends.
Design choices include:
-
- Neutral tones that hide dirt and wear
- Decorative blends for a custom look
- Different flake sizes and densities
- Finishes tailored to lighting and space use
We help narrow options so you’re not overwhelmed.

Slip resistance and safety
Flake floors naturally improve traction compared to smooth epoxy or bare concrete.
Additional slip-resistant additives can be added for:
-
- Garages and workshops
- Patios and walkways
- Pool decks
- Commercial or wet environments
This makes flake systems a practical choice where safety matters.
Where flake floor systems work best
Flake floors perform well in a wide range of spaces.
Common applications include:
-
- Garage floor coatings
- Basement floor coatings
- Patio coatings
- Pool deck coatings
- Utility rooms and workshops
- Commercial and light industrial areas
Each space is evaluated to ensure the right system and finish are used.
Durability and maintenance for flake floor coatings
Simiron flake systems are designed to handle daily use.
They offer:
-
- Resistance to hot tire pickup
- Protection from chemicals and stains
- Strong abrasion resistance
- Long service life when properly installed
Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually all that’s needed.
Flake floors compared to other coatings
