What's the actual difference between a flake floor and a metallic floor, besides price?

Flake broadcasts colored chips into the base coat for texture and a speckled pattern that hides dirt well. Metallic uses pigment swirled through the resin for a fluid, custom look. Oro Valley Epoxy Pros installs both, and which one fits depends on the space and how upscale a finish you're after.

FAQs

Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs

What's the difference between flake epoxy and metallic epoxy floors?

Flake uses broadcast chips for texture and a speckled look that's forgiving of dirt and small imperfections. Metallic uses swirled pigment for a custom, fluid pattern, usually chosen for showcase spaces.

How much does a decorative flake or metallic floor cost?

Standard flake starts lower than metallic, since metallic pigment work takes more application skill and time. Square footage and color complexity both move the price.

Does my HOA need to approve the finish color?

Some Oro Valley HOA communities require aesthetic approval on exterior-visible garage or patio finishes. Check your community rules before finalizing a color.

How long does the decorative topcoat take to fully cure?

Expect a bit more cure time than a solid-color job since the clear topcoat needs to set evenly over the flake or metallic layer, typically a few extra hours to a day.
