Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Sun Rivers, 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 Sun Rivers: what you need to know
Full-broadcast flake is popular in Sun Rivers garages alongside metallic — homeowners who want the look of a finished garage without going full metallic often choose a premium colour flake blend. The UV exposure from the desert microclimate makes our UV-stable topcoat essential.
Properties and context in Sun Rivers
Master-planned golf course community with a mix of townhomes, single-family homes, and resort-style properties. Premium builds with high interior and exterior finish standards. Homeowners in Sun Rivers take presentation seriously.
Sun Rivers is one of Kamloops' premium residential communities, developed around the Tobiano golf course on the south slopes above the Thompson River. Residents expect a high level of craft and professionalism from every trade.
Concrete conditions in Sun Rivers
Sun Rivers properties typically have well-engineered slabs from the community's careful development standards. The desert microclimate creates extreme UV exposure — any coating without an aliphatic UV-stable topcoat will chalk and yellow visibly within a season in this location. We always spec UV-stable systems here and never cut corners on the topcoat.
Climate and floor performance in Sun Rivers
Sun Rivers sees semi-arid desert microclimate, intense UV, very hot dry summers, cold winters with less snow than north Kamloops. 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 Sun Rivers
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.
