Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Batchelor Heights, 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.

Concrete conditions in Batchelor Heights
Batchelor Heights sits on the upper northeast benchlands and is consistently colder than the valley floor in winter — garage slabs here see real thermal cycling that tests coating systems. We always specify polyaspartic topcoats rated to −40°C brittleness point for any Batchelor Heights install. The newer construction in the area means slabs are generally in good condition as a starting point.
Climate and floor performance in Batchelor Heights
Batchelor Heights sees elevated position with colder winters than the valley floor, significant wind exposure, strong UV on open slopes. 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 Batchelor Heights
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.
