Flake epoxy floor installation uses colored vinyl flakes broadcast into an epoxy base coat, followed by a clear or pigmented topcoat. The process builds in stages starting with moisture testing and diamond grinding to achieve a CSP-3 profile for proper adhesion. The finished result is a seamless, slip-resistant, and highly durable surface with decorative multi-color options for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Every flake epoxy floor installed by USA Epoxy Floors begins with a thorough assessment of the concrete substrate. This includes moisture testing, examining previous coatings or repairs, and identifying cracks or joint damage. Concrete is then mechanically diamond ground to open the correct profile (typically CSP-3), ensuring the base coat bonds properly and remains stable under use. Installation continues with priming the substrate, applying a high-build epoxy base coat, and broadcasting colored vinyl flakes while the epoxy remains wet. Flakes are added to full refusal or specified broadcast density, depending on the system design. Once the base layer cures, excess flakes are scraped and vacuumed, and the floor is cleaned before a protective polyaspartic or urethane topcoat is applied for wear and chemical resistance. The customer receives a seamless floor system built for real-world durability, with the visual effect tailored through custom flake blends and finish options like satin or gloss. George Tsinias, owner of USA Epoxy Floors, walks through the completed space with the owner, confirming adhesion, consistency of flake coverage, and that the floor meets the requirements for appearance and performance before signoff.
The success of a flake epoxy system depends on correct surface preparation. USA Epoxy Floors uses concrete grinders with diamond tooling to achieve the CSP-3 surface profile required for flake broadcast systems. This step maximizes coating adhesion and reduces the risk of future peeling or delamination, which are common failures when prep is skipped or done with acid etch.
Moisture vapor rising through concrete can cause blistering and loss of bond in epoxy and flake systems. USA Epoxy Floors always moisture tests slabs before installation. If readings show vapor risk, George specifies a moisture mitigation primer to protect the new coating. This step is vital in garages, basements, and commercial spaces built on grade.
Flake epoxy floors are installed with options for custom flake blends, full or partial broadcast, texture, and slip resistance. George works directly with clients to select a blend and topcoat suited for the environment: garage, shop, basement, locker room, or retail space. The multilayer build uses high-wear topcoats fit for traffic, chemicals, and regular cleaning.

More About Us
Yes. Flake Epoxy Floor Installation is part of the regular service range across Dutchess and Dutchess County. USA Epoxy Floors is based in Fishkill, family operated and veteran owned, and travels throughout the area for this work.
A floor that was properly profiled and correctly specified stands up to vehicle traffic, hot tires, impact, and routine chemical contact for years. What shortens service life is almost always inadequate preparation or a system that did not match the conditions. Maintenance is sweeping and periodic wet cleaning.
It gets identified before anything is applied. Moisture vapor moving upward will lift a coating that was not built for it. Where testing shows elevated readings, a moisture-mitigating primer or vapor barrier system is specified rather than a standard build.
The floor area needs to be clear for grinding and application. Vehicles, shelving, and stored items come out ahead of the crew. On larger commercial floors the work can often be sectioned so part of the space stays operational.
Solid color, decorative flake broadcast, quartz, and metallic systems. Flake adds texture underfoot and conceals minor slab imperfections. Industrial floors often run solid color for visibility and cleaning. Samples are reviewed on site during the walkthrough.

“4 other contractors showed up, did their pitch, and then had to "go back to the office to prepare a quote" - 2 of them never responded and the other two estimates seemed high - George on the other hand showed up, gave me my options and provided a written quote right on the spot that was about 15% less than the other quotes and went on to do a superb job on my garage floor. I would recommend him highly!”
“We are so happy to have discovered George Tsinias. He is an old school artisan and gentleman who takes pride in his work, takes every issue seriously, answers every question, and is a meticulous workman. The garage floor he did for us is stunning. He is humble, fun, courteous, friendly, extremely knowledgeable about adjacent trades and competent in several of them. I am delighted to give him the highest recommendation and look forward to referring him to friends and to using him again.”

Polyaspartic floor installation involves applying a resinous coating system designed for demanding environments where fast return to service and chemical resistance are required. The process includes diamond grinding or shot blasting to achieve the CSP profile the system needs, followed by a moisture test to confirm slab readiness before primer and polyaspartic coats are applied. Customers receive a finished floor that can be put back into use within hours, with uniform color, gloss, and durability in high-traffic and commercial spaces.

Metallic epoxy floor installation creates custom, visually dynamic surfaces using pigmented epoxy and metallic powders. The process involves diamond grinding the concrete for a CSP-3 profile, applying a pigmented base coat, then adding, manipulating, and sealing metallic epoxy layers for depth. The result is a one-of-a-kind, high-gloss floor with unique pattern movement and durable protection.
