Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Brocklehurst, 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 Brocklehurst: what you need to know
Full-broadcast flake is the most practical finish for Brocklehurst working garages — it hides dirt and grime between cleaning sessions, provides traction when wet, and holds up through the north-shore freeze-thaw cycles. Most Brocklehurst homeowners choose flake for exactly these reasons.
Properties and context in Brocklehurst
Mix of post-war residential homes, 1970s–80s construction, and some newer infill development. Light commercial properties and small businesses are scattered through the neighbourhood. A lot of working garages in Brocklehurst — people park real vehicles and store real equipment here.
Brocklehurst is a practical, working-class community with deep roots on the north shore. Homeowners here want floors that hold up through years of hard use, not just floors that look good on the day of install.
Concrete conditions in Brocklehurst
North Shore slabs in Brocklehurst deal with more ambient moisture than south-side Kamloops — river proximity and shadier lots keep humidity higher. Older slabs in the area commonly show surface scaling from freeze-thaw cycles, trapped moisture, and old oil contamination in garages that have been used hard. Diamond grinding is always required here — acid etching won't cut it.
Climate and floor performance in Brocklehurst
Brocklehurst sees colder winters than the south side, river valley humidity, heavy freeze-thaw action, north-facing exposure. 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 Brocklehurst
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.
