Commercial Flake Floor Systems
A commercial flake floor system offers the perfect balance of rugged durability and premium aesthetics. By broadcasting colorful epoxy floor chips into a high-build resinous base, RS Surface Coatings creates a seamless, highly textured surface that hides imperfections, resists chemicals, and meaningfully improves facility safety. From industrial warehouses to retail showrooms, our multi-layer systems use top-tier epoxy flooring flakes to deliver a cost-effective, terrazzo-like finish built for long-term performance.
High-Performance Decorative Chip Flooring
While solid-color floors are great for certain applications, many commercial environments require enhanced traction, impact resistance, and elevated visual appeal. A broadcast flake system perfectly bridges that gap. By incorporating specialized vinyl chips into the coating process, we build a robust, multi-layer defense for your concrete slab. These chips not only provide a high-end look but also add durable build and texture to the floor, allowing it to withstand heavy foot traffic, dropped tools, and rolling equipment without showing signs of wear.

Core Advantages of Epoxy Flooring Flakes
When you upgrade your concrete with a custom flake system, you are directly investing in the safety, sanitation, and daily efficiency of your facility.
Cost-Effective Transformation
Decorative chip systems offer a cost-effective way to enhance the look of your concrete surfaces. These systems provide a stunning decorative finish that won’t break the bank.
Customization Galore
A key advantage of flake systems is customization. We have several options available and can even customize your system to match your needs. This includes matching your business's brand colors. Our coatings go beyond the standard garage floor look to fit your space perfectly.
Easy Maintenance
Maintaining concrete surfaces can be a hassle, but decorative chip systems make it easier. Thanks to their random shapes, these chips naturally hide imperfections in the concrete, making minor wear and tear less noticeable. Moreover, the decorative chips help conceal dirt and debris, reducing the need for cleaning.
Abstract Terrazzo Appearance
An appealing aspect of decorative chip systems is their ability to create an abstract, terrazzo-like appearance. This finish adds character and depth to concrete floors, making them stand out in any space. Whether it’s in a residential living room or a commercial showroom, the abstract terrazzo look is stylish and eye-catching.
Safety First
Decorative chip systems aren’t just about aesthetics; they also prioritize safety. Many options come with slip-resistant and non-skid textures, providing an added layer of protection against accidents. This is especially beneficial in spaces that are prone to moisture or where slip hazards are a concern.
Durability and Resistance
An outdoor floor must be assessed for sunlight, water exposure, drainage and the condition of the concrete. The selected assembly needs documented suitability for that setting. Ask RS Surface Coatings about the actual finish, texture and care requirements; the MVB base alone does not establish outdoor performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flake Floor Systems
What Exactly Is a Flake Floor System?
In most cases, epoxy shouldn’t be applied directly over a painted basement floor. Paint creates a weak bonding layer, and epoxy relies on strong adhesion to bare, properly prepared concrete. For any coating system to perform correctly, the concrete typically needs to be mechanically prepared to remove paint, sealers and contaminants.
MVB Epoxy coatings are designed to bond more aggressively to properly prepared concrete and are better suited for below-grade spaces where moisture conditions can vary. This is one reason professional basement floor coatings often use MVB epoxy-based systems rather than traditional epoxy.
Where Are Epoxy Floor Chips Typically Used in Commercial Settings?
Because they are highly customizable and exceptionally durable, these coatings are ideal for demanding, high-traffic environments. Common applications include locker rooms, automotive service bays, industrial warehouses, retail showrooms, public restrooms, and office spaces.
Are Flake Floors Difficult to Clean?
No. In fact, they are among the easiest surfaces to maintain. The clear topcoat creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that helps prevent moisture and chemical spills from penetrating the concrete. The textured surface hides daily dirt, and standard pH-neutral floor cleaners are all you need to keep the finish looking new.
