Flake floor systems have many benefits.
A resinous flake or chip floor system is a type of decorative, durable flooring made by embedding colored vinyl flakes or chips into a resin base coat—usually epoxy, polyaspartic, or polyurethane—and then sealing it with a clear top coat. This system is popular in both commercial and residential environments due to its visual appeal and performance benefits. For customers in Florida, our team at Floor Coating Source can install flake floor systems for a variety of facilities.

- Exam Rooms – In medical settings, flake floors offer a seamless, nonporous surface that helps maintain sterility. They resist stains, chemicals, and bodily fluids, making them a hygienic and low-maintenance choice for healthcare environments.
- Bar Seating Areas – Flake floors perform well in bar areas where spills and heavy foot traffic are common. The multi-colored flakes help camouflage wear, scratches, and debris, while the textured finish enhances traction for safety.
- Hotel Dining Areas – These floors add visual depth and warmth, complementing interior decor while offering durability and stain resistance against food and beverage spills. Their seamless surface ensures easy cleanup and long-term aesthetics.
- Employee Break Rooms – Flake floors create a welcoming, decorative look while being easy to maintain. They resist abrasion, stains, and daily foot traffic—perfect for high-use employee areas that need both comfort and appearance.
- Grocery Deli Area – In grocery delis, flake floors stand up to moisture, oils, and cleaning chemicals. Their slip-resistant finish ensures worker safety, and their seamless design eliminates crevices that can harbor bacteria. The slight resilience of the resin system also provides comfort underfoot—reducing fatigue for employees who stand for long hours during food preparation and service.
- Dog Kennels – Flake floors are a top choice for kennels because they resist scratches, urine, and harsh cleaners. The seamless surface prevents odor absorption and supports a sanitary environment that’s easy to clean and disinfect.
- Animal Daycare Centers – These floors handle active wear from paws, claws, and cleaning cycles. The decorative flakes help mask dirt and hair, while the resilient surface provides traction and comfort for pets and caretakers alike.
- Garages – Flake floors in garages offer strong chemical and abrasion resistance against oil, salt, and vehicle fluids. The decorative flake finish adds a clean, professional look while hiding dirt and tire marks.
- Hallways – In corridors and hallways, flake floors provide a durable, slip-resistant walking surface that maintains its appearance under constant traffic. The multi-color blend helps conceal scuffs and dirt for a consistently clean look.
