Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Valleyview, 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 Valleyview: what you need to know
Flake chip is consistently the most requested finish in Valleyview — practical homeowners who want a floor that works, looks good, and doesn't require fussing. It's a sensible choice for the neighbourhood's mix of working garages and residential spaces.
Properties and context in Valleyview
West Kamloops neighbourhood with a mix of 1970s–90s homes and some newer builds and infill development. Smaller lots than Westsyde or Aberdeen, with a mix of attached and detached garages. Some light commercial properties along the main corridors. A practical, family-oriented community.
A long-established neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Homeowners here are practical buyers who want good value — a quality floor at a fair price, done on time and without hassle.
Concrete conditions in Valleyview
Valleyview has a genuine mix of older and newer construction. Older properties in the area — particularly 1970s and early 80s builds — can have concrete with a carbonated surface layer that resists coating adhesion unless properly ground away. Newer infill and updated properties have clean slabs that coat well. We assess every slab on its own merits rather than applying assumptions.
Climate and floor performance in Valleyview
Valleyview sees sheltered valley location, moderate winters compared to the benchlands, hot summers, some river valley humidity. 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 Valleyview
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.
