Flake & Chip Epoxy Systems
in Westsyde, 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 Westsyde: what you need to know
Full-broadcast flake is the most common finish we install in Westsyde — practical, tough, and visually consistent across larger sq ft. When you have a 900 sq ft garage and a workshop floor, flake chip is the right call for durability and ease of maintenance.
Properties and context in Westsyde
Mix of newer suburban subdivisions and established acreage properties stretching along the North Thompson River valley. Large lots are the standard. Homeowners here keep boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and workshop tools — garages and shops are used hard, not just for parking.
Westsyde is a growing community that attracts families who want space, a quieter pace, and easy access to recreation. The valley setting and acreage lifestyle shapes what people need from their floors.
Concrete conditions in Westsyde
Westsyde properties often have larger-than-average garage slabs — double and triple-car setups are the norm on the bigger lots, and attached workshops are common. Newer subdivision slabs in the area are generally well-poured and in good condition. Older and rural properties on the outskirts can have thinner, less-reinforced slabs that need more attention during the assessment.
Climate and floor performance in Westsyde
Westsyde sees colder valley microclimate than central Kamloops, significant snowfall, strong freeze-thaw, cooler springs. 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 Westsyde
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.
