Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Sahali, 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 Sahali: what you need to know
Flake chip epoxy is consistently popular in Sahali garages — the textured surface provides traction, hides the inevitable oil spots between cleaning sessions, and holds up through the south-side UV exposure when we use our UV-stable topcoat. Most Sahali homeowners go with a full-broadcast flake for the garage and metallic or smooth solid for any interior spaces.
Properties and context in Sahali
Established neighbourhood of single-family homes ranging from 1950s bungalows to newer 2000s–2010s builds climbing the south slopes above the city. Attached garages, basement suites, and small commercial properties along the main corridors. Homeowners here tend to invest seriously in their properties.
Sahali is one of Kamloops' most sought-after addresses — close to downtown, strong views of the Thompson River valley, and a mix of long-term residents and newer buyers who want an established neighbourhood. The investment mindset shows in how people maintain their homes.
Concrete conditions in Sahali
Sahali slabs span a wide age range — from 1950s slab-on-grade in the older homes near the city centre to clean, well-cured pours on the upper slopes built in the 2000s. The south-facing hillside creates significant thermal cycling: concrete expands hard in summer and contracts in cold snaps. Surface carbonation and old oil staining are common in the older stock. We diamond-grind and assess every slab on-site before specifying anything.
Climate and floor performance in Sahali
Sahali sees strong south-facing UV exposure, hot dry summers, moderate winters with freeze-thaw cycling. 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 Sahali
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.
