Flake and Chip Systems in Sheffield, Alabama
Decorative chip systems that add texture and color to your concrete. Great for garages, patios and commercial spaces.
For Sheffield's older river-town garages, flake systems are the great equalizer — decades of staining, patching, and wear disappear under a full-chip broadcast that finishes like a new floor.
Seventy-year-old concrete brings character and baggage: old repairs, uneven patches, oil darkening. A full-flake system covers all of it with a uniform decorative surface while the heavier build of the epoxy base adds a protective layer over concrete that has already proven it lasts. Slip-resistant texture is a quiet bonus for garages that double as workshops.

Flake and Chip Systems in Sheffield — questions we hear
Can flake go over patched and uneven concrete?
Yes — after grinding and leveling of any raised patch edges, the base coat levels minor variation and the broadcast hides the rest. Deep spalls get repaired first so the finished surface stays sound.
Is flake more expensive than plain epoxy?
Modestly — flake systems run $4-$9 per square foot versus $3-$8 for solid color. On older Sheffield slabs the difference buys a finish that doesn't advertise every repair.
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.
