Help your floors stand the test of time
We at New Finish pride ourselves on delivering a service that stands out from the crowd. Unlike common flooring solutions, our flake epoxy application is tailored to meet the specific needs and stylistic preferences of each client. This personal approach allows us to not only guarantee the quality and efficiency of our work but also to infuse each project with a personal touch that reflects your unique style. Moreover, we stay ahead of industry trends and use cutting-edge techniques to provide a flooring solution that is not only durable and safe but also environmentally friendly, leveraging low-VOC epoxy resins.
The Application Process
The application of flake epoxy flooring is a detailed and structured process, designed to ensure durability, aesthetic appeal, and longevity. At New Finish, our approach involves several critical steps that guarantee the superior quality of the finished floor. This process not only secures the flooring’s functional attributes but also enhances its visual appearance, making it suitable for both residential and commercial settings.
Surface Preparation
The first step in the application process is surface preparation, which is crucial for ensuring that the epoxy adheres properly. This includes thoroughly cleaning the floor to remove any dirt, grease, or existing coatings. We also repair any cracks or damages in the concrete to create a smooth and even surface. This might involve grinding or sanding the floor to achieve the optimal texture for epoxy application.
Primer Application
Once the floor is prepared, we apply a primer layer. This layer acts as a bonding agent between the concrete and the epoxy, improving the adhesion and creating a better foundation for subsequent layers. The primer also helps to seal any pores in the concrete, preventing air bubbles and ensuring a smooth finish.
Base Coat Application
After the primer has set, we apply the base coat of epoxy resin. This layer is typically thicker and acts as the main protective barrier, offering strength and durability. The base coat is also where we begin the customization process, as the color of this layer will influence the overall look of the floor.
Flake Broadcast
While the base coat is still wet, we broadcast the colored flakes across the surface by hand or with a hopper gun. The amount of flakes used and the method of application depend on the desired coverage and appearance. These flakes are available in various colors, sizes, and blends, allowing for extensive customization. The flakes not only add color and texture but also help to hide imperfections and provide an additional layer of protection.
Sealing with Topcoat
The final step involves applying a clear topcoat over the flaked layer. This topcoat seals the flakes, protecting them from wear and tear and making the floor easier to clean. It also adds a glossy or matte finish, enhancing the floor’s aesthetic appeal. The topcoat is crucial for creating a non-porous, water-resistant surface that is durable and slip-resistant.
Benefits of Flake Epoxy Flooring
Flake epoxy flooring is a versatile and durable solution favored by many for both commercial and residential settings. At New Finish, we appreciate the unique combination of functional benefits and aesthetic flexibility that flake epoxy offers, making it an excellent choice for a variety of environments. Here are the key benefits that make flake epoxy flooring a standout option:
Durability and Resilience
One of the primary advantages of flake epoxy flooring is its exceptional durability. Epoxy coatings are known for their strength and resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. The inclusion of flakes adds an additional layer of durability, as they help to distribute the weight and impact across the surface, reducing the risk of scratches and other damage.
Safety Features
Safety is a paramount concern in any setting, and flake epoxy flooring contributes positively in this area. The textured surface provided by the flakes offers enhanced slip resistance, which is crucial in places prone to wet conditions, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and industrial areas. This makes flake epoxy flooring a safer option, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Aesthetic Appeal
Flake epoxy flooring is not only functional but also highly customizable in terms of aesthetics. The flakes can be chosen in various colors, sizes, and blends, allowing for a multitude of design options. Whether clients prefer a subtle look that mimics natural stone or a vibrant, colorful pattern that makes a bold statement, flake epoxy can be tailored to meet diverse design preferences.
Low Maintenance
Another significant benefit of flake epoxy flooring is its ease of maintenance. The seamless nature of epoxy coatings means there are no joints or grout lines where dirt and bacteria can accumulate. Cleaning is straightforward—usually requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild cleaners. The non-porous surface also resists stains and spills, which can be easily wiped away without leaving a mark.
Cost-Effectiveness
Considering its durability and longevity, flake epoxy flooring is a cost-effective solution. While the initial investment might be higher than some other flooring options, the long-term savings are substantial. Its ability to withstand heavy use without significant wear means fewer repairs and replacements, reducing overall maintenance costs over the floor’s lifespan.
By choosing flake epoxy flooring, clients at New Finish can enjoy a blend of durability, safety, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness. This flooring option not only meets the practical demands of various settings but also provides an opportunity to enhance spaces with personalized, stylish designs that are both impressive and functional.
