Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Aberdeen, BC
The most popular finish we install. Durable, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain.
Full-broadcast vinyl flake is the most installed system we do — a 100% solids epoxy base coat with decorative vinyl flake chips broadcast at full coverage while the base coat is still wet, knocked down and vacuumed once cured, then sealed with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. The flake layer adds colour variation, hides imperfections between cleaning sessions, and the texture of the knocked-down flake provides natural traction. It's a practical, durable, great-looking finish that works in residential garages, basements, commercial spaces, and anywhere that sees regular traffic.
Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems in Aberdeen: what you need to know
Flake chip systems are popular in Aberdeen garages alongside metallic epoxy — homeowners here choose one or the other depending on how the garage functions. Flake for a working garage, metallic for a showpiece. Both look great on Aberdeen's newer slabs.
Properties and context in Aberdeen
Newer suburban development on the hillside southwest of downtown Kamloops with mainly single-family homes on established lots. Attached double-car garages are standard in most of the neighbourhood's builds. A mix of young families and established professionals who invest in their homes.
Aberdeen has grown significantly since the 2000s and has a reputation for well-kept properties and homeowners who take their finishes seriously. Metallic epoxy and premium flake systems consistently sell well here.
Concrete conditions in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is predominantly newer construction — most homes have been built in the last 25 years, with clean, well-cured slabs that bond extremely well with epoxy primer. It's some of the best starting-point concrete we encounter in Kamloops. The exposed hillside setting means UV resistance matters: any system without an aliphatic topcoat will chalk and yellow faster than you'd expect.
Climate and floor performance in Aberdeen
Aberdeen sees exposed hillside with strong UV load, hot dry summers, moderate winters, good drainage. We spec epoxy and polyaspartic systems for this area with the local conditions in mind — UV stability, thermal flexibility, and moisture management are all part of our system selection process, not afterthoughts. A coating system that performs well in a temperate climate and a properly spec'd system for the BC Interior are not the same product, even if they look similar on the day of install.

How a Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems install works in Aberdeen
Colour selection
We bring samples to your quote. Flake blends come in many colour combinations — from subtle grey and white to vibrant custom blends. The flake size also affects the final look.
Prep and base coat
Diamond grinding, crack repair, moisture testing. Then the epoxy base coat goes down as the bonding layer and carrier for the flake broadcast.
Flake broadcast
Vinyl flake is broadcast at full coverage while the base coat is wet. Once cured, excess flake is scraped and vacuumed to create the even, flat surface that the topcoat needs.
Polyaspartic topcoat
UV-stable polyaspartic seals and hardens the system. Most flake installs are vehicle-ready within 24 hours of topcoat application.
