Concrete doesn’t have to be dull. If you're upgrading your garage, patio, or walkway with epoxy or polyaspartic floor coatings, one of the most exciting decisions you’ll make is choosing the flake color blend. Flakes don’t just add style—they improve traction, hide imperfections, and bring your space to life.

In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular and creative flake color ideas for DFW homeowners, along with tips for choosing the right blend for your concrete project.

What Are Decorative Flakes?

Flakes are small vinyl chips that are broadcast over a base coat in epoxy or polyaspartic floor coating systems. Once sealed with a clear topcoat, they create a textured, high-performance surface that’s durable, slip-resistant, and visually stunning.

🎯 Flakes aren’t just for looks—they add grip and help conceal dirt, dust, and minor surface flaws.

How to Choose the Right Flake Color for Your Space

• Match Your Home Exterior: For patios and walkways, pick tones that complement your brick, stone, or siding.
• Think Function: Darker flakes hide oil stains in garages; lighter tones keep patios cool in the sun.
• Coordinate with Fixtures: Match your cabinetry, trim, or landscaping for a cohesive design.
• Consider Lighting: Well-lit spaces can handle bold or dark flakes, while shaded areas benefit from brighter blends.
• Test a Sample: Ask your installer for physical samples to see how flakes look in real lighting and context.

Flake Sizes Matter, Too

Flakes come in various sizes—from fine (1/16") to bold (1/4" or larger). Smaller flakes give a smooth, speckled look, while larger flakes create bold, terrazzo-style visuals. You can even mix sizes for texture variety.

🧠 Pro Tip: Fine flake blends hide dust better in outdoor areas, while larger flakes make a bold statement indoors.
