1/4" Epoxy Floor Flakes - 20 lb Box for Decorative Garage & Floor Coatings
Add texture, hide imperfections, and create a durable, professional flake floor finish for garages, workshops, basements, and more.
Why Use Our Flakes
- Hides the Ugly Stuff: Concrete is rarely perfect. A full flake broadcast instantly camouflages patch marks, spider cracks, and weird discolorations in the slab.
- Builds Serious Thickness: Flakes aren't just for looks. They actually build the mil-thickness of your floor, giving you a much impact-resistant system.
- Crucial Slip Resistance: A bare epoxy floor is an ice rink when wet. Flakes create a subtle, orange-peel texture under your topcoat so you don't break your neck when it rains.
- System Agnostic: We engineered these chips to bite perfectly into 100% solids epoxy, polyaspartic, or polyurea base coats.
- UV Stable: They won't fade, bleed, or turn brittle when locked down under a premium clear coat.

Coverage Guide (20 lb Box)
"How many boxes do I need?" The honest answer is that it completely depends on how heavy you throw them. If you want a "Full Broadcast"-which means throwing flakes until the floor is completely covered and no base coat is visible-you will burn through material much faster than a light sprinkle.
| Broadcast Density | Coverage (Per 20 lb Box) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Light Sprinkle | Up to 400 sq. ft. | A sparse look showing mostly your base coat. Good for utility rooms on a budget. |
| Medium Broadcast | Approx. 200 - 250 sq. ft. | A balanced, speckled look. Takes a bit of practice to throw evenly. |
| Full Broadcast (To Rejection) | Approx. 100 - 150 sq. ft. | The gold standard for garages. You throw flakes until the floor won't hold anymore. It guarantees a perfectly even look and max durability. |
How to Apply a Flake Floor System Like a Pro
Flakes aren't meant to sit on top of the floor; they need to be permanently sandwiched between your colored base coat and your clear topcoat. Here is exactly how we do it in the field:
- Grind and Vacuum: Mechanically grind the concrete. Sweep and vacuum every speck of dust. If you skip this, nothing sticks.
- Roll the Base Coat: Lay down your pigmented epoxy or polyurea base coat. Work in manageable sections so it doesn't cure before you flake.
- Throw 'Em High: While the base coat is still wet, toss the flakes upward toward the ceiling so they rain down evenly like snow. Don't throw them directly at the ground, or you'll get ugly clumps.
- Scrape & Vacuum: Once the base coat cures, take a floor scraper and vigorously scrape the floor in multiple directions to knock down any sharp, standing flakes. Vacuum it obsessively.
- Lock It Down: Apply a clear polyaspartic or epoxy topcoat to seal the system and give it that washable, showroom shine.
Complete Your Floor System Like a Pro
Flakes are just one layer of the sandwich. A bulletproof garage floor requires a complete, chemically compatible system. Don't mix and match cheap hardware store products. Start with a real primer, roll a solid base coat, broadcast your flakes to rejection, and lock it all down with an industrial clear coat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these flakes with polyaspartic floor coatings?
Yes. These 1/4" epoxy floor flakes are compatible with epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurethane, and polyurea floor coating systems. Broadcast them into the wet base coat, then seal them with a clear topcoat.
What is the best broadcast method for an even flake floor?
For the most even finish, throw the flakes upward into the air and let them fall naturally onto the wet base coat. Do not throw them directly at the floor, because that can create clumps and uneven spots.
What does full broadcast to rejection mean?
Full broadcast to rejection means applying flakes until the wet base coat cannot hold any more material and the base color is completely covered. This creates the most professional, durable, and uniform flake floor finish.
Do flakes make an epoxy floor less slippery?
Yes, flakes help create a subtle texture under the clear topcoat, which improves traction compared with a smooth bare epoxy floor. For areas that may get wet, a full flake system with a proper clear coat is a better choice than a slick solid-color floor.
When should I apply the flakes?
Apply the flakes while the base coat is still wet. If the base coat starts curing before the flakes are broadcast, the chips may not bond properly and can come loose after scraping or topcoating.
