Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Juniper Ridge, 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 Juniper Ridge: what you need to know
Full-broadcast flake is the most requested finish in Juniper Ridge — the community's active lifestyle (bikes, skis, tools) means the garage gets heavy use and the flake system's textured surface handles it well. UV-stable topcoat is essential on the open benchland location.
Properties and context in Juniper Ridge
Newer residential development on the northeast benchlands with single-family homes, most with attached double or triple-car garages. Properties tend to have larger lots than central Kamloops, and the community has a strong outdoor recreation culture — trails and parks are a defining feature.
Juniper Ridge is a family neighbourhood with a strong community identity and a lot of homeowner pride. Active lifestyle, well-maintained properties, and a demographic that expects quality from the trades they hire.
Concrete conditions in Juniper Ridge
Juniper Ridge was primarily developed in the 2000s–2010s, so slabs are generally newer and in good condition. The open benchland setting creates above-average UV exposure and wind, which accelerates thermal cycling on exposed concrete surfaces. Any coating installed here without a UV-stable aliphatic topcoat will yellow and degrade faster than in a sheltered urban location.
Climate and floor performance in Juniper Ridge
Juniper Ridge sees open benchland exposure, high UV, warm summers, cold winters, wind from the northeast. 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 Juniper Ridge
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.
