By Your garage is more than just a place to park your car. For many Ontario homeowners, it’s a workshop, a home gym, a man cave, or an extension of their storage space. But even if it’s just a garage, it shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. One of the easiest ways to elevate both the look and functionality of your garage is by investing in a Garage Flake Epoxy Floor — and that’s exactly what Nexus Epoxy specializes in.
We don’t just coat floors — we transform spaces. Our garage flake jobs give you a durable, slip-resistant, and low-maintenance surface that looks as good as it performs. Whether you’re dealing with cracked concrete, dust buildup, or a dull, stained surface, our flake system provides a seamless, stylish, and long-lasting solution.
What Is a Garage Flake Job?
A garage flake job is a decorative and protective floor coating system that combines:
- A base coat of epoxy or polyurea resin,
- A broadcast of colored vinyl flakes (also called chips),
- And a clear, UV-stable topcoat for durability and protection.
This three-layer system creates a textured, multi-dimensional surface that mimics granite or terrazzo — but at a fraction of the cost and with far less maintenance.
The result? A garage floor that’s not only aesthetically impressive, but also resistant to wear, chemicals, stains, and moisture.
Nexus Epoxy’s Garage Flake Job Process
At Nexus Epoxy, our team follows a meticulous installation process to ensure your new garage floor performs for the long haul.
-
Surface Preparation
The foundation of a flawless epoxy flake floor starts with thorough prep. We use diamond grinding machines to profile the concrete and remove any existing coatings, dirt, or imperfections. We also fill joints and cracks to create a smooth and even surface.
Proper surface preparation is crucial to ensure the epoxy adheres permanently — no peeling, bubbling, or lifting.
-
Base Coat Application
Next, we apply a high-performance epoxy or polyurea base coat. This forms the adhesive layer that binds the flakes to the concrete. Our base coats are chosen for their durability and moisture resistance, making them ideal for Ontario’s changing seasons.
-
Flake Broadcast
While the base coat is still wet, we broadcast vinyl flakes evenly across the surface. You can choose from a wide variety of flake colors and sizes to match your style — from classic greys and blacks to bold blues, reds, and earth tones.
The flakes not only create a beautiful finish but also provide texture for slip resistance, making your garage safer.
-
Excess Flake Removal
Once the base coat has cured, we return to scrape off any loose or excess flakes, ensuring a smooth, consistent texture that’s ready for sealing.
-
Clear Topcoat Application
Finally, we apply a UV-stable clear topcoat to lock everything in. This topcoat protects your floor from:
- Tire marks and hot tire pickup
- Oil and chemical spills
- Salt and de-icing agents
- UV discoloration
- Everyday wear and tear
The result is a low-maintenance, easy-to-clean surface that can handle whatever life (or your vehicle) throws at it.
The Benefits of a Flake Epoxy Garage Floor
Garage flake systems from Nexus Epoxy aren’t just about looks — they offer practical, long-term value for homeowners across Ontario.
✔️ Durability
Epoxy flake floors can last 15–20 years with proper care. They’re resistant to abrasion, stains, and impact — ideal for tool-heavy garages, workshops, or high-traffic areas.
✔️ Safety
The textured flake finish adds slip resistance, reducing the risk of accidents, especially when floors are wet.
✔️ Customizable Design
With hundreds of flake combinations available, you can personalize your garage floor to suit your aesthetic — whether you want a showroom-style finish or a rugged utility look.
✔️ Easy Maintenance
Say goodbye to dusty concrete and oil-stained floors. Epoxy flake systems are sealed and non-porous, so you can clean up with just a mop or garden hose.
✔️ Increased Property Value
A clean, modern, and professional-looking garage floor can increase curb appeal and boost resale value, especially for homebuyers who value functional living space.
