Flake Floors
Flake Floor Coatings in Central Indiana
Full-broadcast decorative flake that hides imperfections, handles hot tires and road salt, and looks better than the concrete ever did. Installed by the owner, most floors finished in two days.
A flake floor is decorative vinyl chip broadcast into a pigmented epoxy base coat, then sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat. The result is one seamless, textured surface bonded to your slab.
The Problem
Bare concrete is a surface that fights you.
Bare concrete is a surface that fights you. It's porous, so it drinks up oil, brake fluid, and road salt and holds onto all of it. It sheds dust onto everything stored on it. And once Indiana's freeze-thaw cycle finds a weak spot, the pitting spreads a little further every winter.
The usual answer is a roll-on epoxy kit from a big-box store. Those fail for one reason: they're rolled onto concrete that was never opened up. Acid etching doesn't create a real bonding profile, so the coating sits on top of the slab instead of locking into it, and the first hot tire that parks on it in August takes a patch of it back up.
Our Solution
A flake floor is a broadcast system, not a paint.
A pigmented base coat goes down, then decorative vinyl flake is broadcast into it until the surface won't take any more — that's what "full broadcast" means. The excess gets scraped and vacuumed the next day, and a clear topcoat locks everything in.
The flake does more than look good. It acts as reinforcement inside the coating, which is part of why a broadcast floor takes impact better than a solid color. It also adds natural texture underfoot and hides the imperfections in the slab underneath, which matters on an older garage that's seen twenty winters.
We grind every floor mechanically before anything goes down. Diamond grinding opens the concrete's pores so the base coat bonds into the surface rather than resting on it. That's the whole difference between a floor that's still down in year ten and one that lifts in year three, and it's why our number won't be the lowest one you get.

Garage Floor Coatings — the most requested flake floor in Central Indiana. Hot tire resistant, salt resistant, and it turns the largest surface in your house into something you're glad to look at.
Basement Floor Coatings — interior work with controlled temperatures, so it runs year-round. A good project for the months when exterior work stops.
Flake floors also go down in workshops, home gyms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, kennels, and light commercial space.

Three Levels
Same Prep. Three Levels of Floor.
Every floor we install gets the same preparation — diamond ground, repaired, and cleaned before anything goes down. That part never changes, because it's the part that decides whether a floor lasts. What changes is the material on top of it, and there are three ways to go.
Certified Flake
Our top tier. Leggari® primer, full-broadcast flake, and a polyaspartic topcoat that won't yellow. The most durable floor we install and the one most people end up choosing. Three-year workmanship warranty.
Essential Flake
The same look for less. A commercial-grade base coat, partial flake broadcast, and a polyaspartic topcoat. You give up some coating thickness and some flake density — you keep the appearance and the durability that matters for a home garage. Two-year workmanship warranty.
Solid Shield
No flake, no decoration — a tough single color, sealed and easy to clean. The honest choice for a shop floor, a rental, a storage room, or anywhere you want the slab protected rather than transformed. One-year workmanship warranty.
If the number on your estimate is more than you wanted to spend, we'll show you the next tier down rather than thinning out the floor you asked for. The prep stays the same either way.
Options
Blend, Coverage, and Finish.
Flake blend — dozens of stock blends from subtle grays through heavy multi-color. Custom blends available.
Flake size — We install 1/4" chip on every residential floor. It's the size that reads right in a garage: enough texture to hide dust and hairline cracks, fine enough to stay smooth underfoot.
Coverage — full broadcast for maximum texture and durability, or partial broadcast for a lighter, more open look.
Finish — High gloss, satin, or matte. Satin is what most homeowners pick: enough sheen to look finished, forgiving enough to live with.
Add-ons — anti-slip aggregate in the topcoat, custom borders, logo inlays, coved base at the wall line.

Straight Answers
Questions About Flake Floors.
How long before I can park on it?
Light foot traffic the same evening in most cases. Vehicles typically two to three days depending on the system and the temperature. We give you the exact schedule at the walk-through.
Do I have to empty the garage?
Completely, before grinding starts. We can help with heavy items, but the floor has to be clear.
Will it be slippery when wet?
A coated floor is smoother than bare concrete, but full-broadcast flake has real texture from the chip itself. If anyone in the house is unsteady on their feet, we add anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat.
What about the coating that's already on there?
It gets ground off as part of prep. That adds time, so it's evaluated and quoted separately once we've seen it.
My floor has cracks. Is it too far gone?
Almost never. Cracks and spalling get repaired before coating — that's included in the process, not a reason to skip it. What actually rules a slab out is active structural movement, and we'll tell you straight if that's what we're looking at.
How is this different from a store kit?
Prep and material. A kit is a thin rolled coating over an acid-etched slab. This is a mechanically ground profile, a professional base coat, flake broadcast to rejection, and a commercial topcoat.
