Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Chase, 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 Chase: what you need to know
Full-broadcast flake is what most Chase homeowners choose for their garages — it's durable, looks great, and is easy to maintain. Combined with our moisture testing step, a flake system in Chase holds up well through the lakeside humidity and seasonal temperature changes.
Properties and context in Chase
Chase property stock is dominated by older 1960s–1980s homes with aging single-car garage slabs, plus a significant number of vacation properties and lakeside cabins around Little Shuswap Lake that often have neglected or uncoated concrete. Some newer retirement housing and a modest commercial strip round out the mix.
Chase is a small lakeside town that values community, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace of life. Many residents are retirees, some are seasonal vacation home owners, and a core of families have deep roots going back multiple generations. They want trades they can trust.
Concrete conditions in Chase
Chase sits beside Little Shuswap Lake and the South Thompson River — ambient humidity is measurably higher than on the Kamloops benchlands. Every job in Chase gets a moisture vapor test before we specify a system. Older homes near the river can have basement slabs with significant moisture vapor emission that requires moisture-mitigating primer before any topcoat. Skipping this step in Chase leads to delamination.
Climate and floor performance in Chase
Chase sees mild lakeside climate with higher ambient humidity than Kamloops, cold winters, moderate summers with lake effect. 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 Chase
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.
