Flake and Chip Systems in Florence, Alabama
Decorative chip systems that add texture and color to your concrete. Great for garages, patios and commercial spaces.
The most-requested garage finish in Florence is flake — the broadcast chip system that adds texture, hides slab flaws, and still wipes clean. Drive through East Florence on a Saturday and you'll spot the speckled sheen through open garage doors all over town.
Florence's mixed housing ages make flake systems the practical default: on a 1990s slab with patched cracks, the multi-color broadcast camouflages what solid color would spotlight. Popular local blends run grey-black and tan-brown, and the textured surface adds traction — a real consideration on humid mornings when concrete sweats. Systems run $4-$9 per square foot.

Flake and Chip Systems in Florence — questions we hear
What colors are popular for Florence garages?
Grey-black is the regional workhorse, tan-brown suits warmer garage paint schemes, and blue-silver gives a brighter custom look. Blends can be mixed to sample before the full broadcast.
Is a flake floor hard to clean?
No — sweep and mop like any epoxy floor. The flake texture actually hides dust and light scuffing between cleanings, which is why busy households choose it over smooth solid-color systems.
What are flake epoxy floors?
Flake systems use vinyl color flakes scattered into wet epoxy base coat, then sealed with a clear topcoat. They create a textured, speckled look that's both decorative and functional.
