Partial Flake Epoxy Floor Kits

A partial flake epoxy floor is a decorative epoxy system that combines a solid color epoxy base coat with a controlled broadcast of vinyl flakes. Unlike full flake floors, partial flake systems leave portions of the base color visible, creating a balanced appearance that adds visual interest without fully covering the surface.

One Stop Epoxy Partial Flake Epoxy Floor Kits are built using professional grade, 100 percent solids epoxy, installed at thick commercial coverage rates, and very generous flake quantities. We provide 1 pound of flakes for every 50 square feet. Compare that with 1 pound for every 400 square feet, which is an industry standard partial or decorative flake floor application rate. Also included is your choice of a Gloss or Satin urethane seal coat to protect your beautiful floor for many years to come. These kits are designed for customers who want more than a plain solid color floor but do not want the heavier texture, full coverage appearance, or cost of a full broadcast flake system.

Partial flake floors are one of the most versatile epoxy flooring options available and are commonly used in both residential and commercial environments.

What Is a Partial Flake Epoxy Floor?

A partial flake epoxy floor is created by broadcasting vinyl flakes into a wet epoxy base coat at a light to medium density, rather than to full rejection. The flakes bond into the epoxy surface while still allowing the base color to remain visible.

The Final Appearance Is Determined By

• Flake size and blend
• Broadcast density
• Base coat color
• Application technique

Because the flake coverage is controlled, partial flake floors offer a cleaner, less textured finish compared to full flake systems while still improving traction and hiding minor surface imperfections better than a solid color floor, making this a perfect fit for less experienced or new installers.

Partial Flake vs Full Flake Epoxy Floors

Understanding the difference between partial and full flake systems is important when choosing the right floor.

A Partial Flake Floor

• Leaves the base color visible
• Uses less flake material
• Has a smoother feel underfoot
• Is easier to clean than full flake
• Offers a balanced decorative look
• Costs less than a Full Flake Epoxy Floor

A Full Flake Floor

• Covers the epoxy base completely
• Has heavier texture
• Provides maximum visual concealment of concrete
• Requires more material and labor

Partial flake systems are often selected when customers want a clean, decorative floor that still feels refined rather than heavily textured.

Where Partial Flake Epoxy Floors Are Commonly Used

Partial Flake Epoxy Floors are extremely versatile and commonly installed in:

• Residential garages
• Workshops and hobby spaces
• Home gyms
• Utility rooms
• Commercial garages
• Light commercial interiors
• Storage areas
• Retail back of house spaces

Because they offer improved traction without heavy texture, partial flake floors work well in spaces that see regular foot traffic and light vehicle use.

What’s Included in Our Partial Flake Epoxy Floor Kits

Each Partial Flake Epoxy Floor Kit includes the core materials needed to install a proper partial broadcast flake system. Kits are sized based on square footage to ensure correct coverage and working time. For every 400 to 450 square feet of your flooring project, you will receive:

1. Self leveling 100 percent solids industrial grade epoxy. The foundation of the system is this self leveling epoxy base coat. This epoxy provides the color, thickness, and bond strength needed to support the flake broadcast and long term performance. This epoxy comes in a short fill kit, meaning you mix the full kit right in its own container so there is no need to purchase multiple buckets from a big box store. Pre pigmented epoxy and short fill buckets save you money.
2. Pounds of decorative vinyl epoxy flakes for every 50 square feet. Compare that to our competitors that give you 1 pound for every 400 square feet. Available in 28 standard color options at no added cost to you.
3. Urethane WB epoxy topcoat in Gloss or Satin. One gallon for every 400 to 500 square feet.

You will have everything you need to build a strong and beautiful partially flaked epoxy floor. You will also find easy to use point and click pre calculated epoxy primer and moisture vapor barrier options, and even an upgrade to a polyaspartic seal coat if you want or need one.

Why Partial Flake Floors Are a Popular Choice

Partial flake epoxy floors strike a balance between appearance, performance, and ease of maintenance. This is a user friendly, moderate skill level DIY epoxy flooring kit. Compared to solid color epoxy floors, they are much easier to install than full flake epoxy floors and they:

• Hide minor surface imperfections better
• Provide additional traction
• Offer more visual interest

Compared To Full Flake Systems, They

• Cost less
• Feel smoother underfoot
• Are easier to install
• Use less material
• Have a more subtle appearance

This balance makes partial flake floors one of the most commonly installed epoxy systems.

Coverage and Material Planning

Coverage is based on true square footage and proper epoxy thickness. Partial flake systems should not be stretched thin to save material. Adequate epoxy is required to allow proper flake adhesion and even distribution.

If your project falls between kit sizes, sizing up is recommended.

DIY Friendly With Realistic Expectations

Partial flake epoxy floors are more forgiving than metallic systems and easier to install than full flake floors. Capable DIYers can achieve good results when:

• Concrete is properly prepared
• Instructions are followed
• Correct tools are used
• Adequate cure time is allowed

For customers unsure about surface preparation, broadcast density, or topcoat selection, One Stop Epoxy offers technical support during business hours to help guide the process.

Why Buy a Partial Flake Epoxy Floor Kit From One Stop Epoxy?

Many epoxy kits on the market cut corners on material quality or coverage. One Stop Epoxy kits are built differently because:

• Epoxy is professional grade and 100 percent solids
• Coverage rates are realistic and not stretched. We give you the best quality and the most quantity for the least amount of money
• Flake quantities are generously calculated, providing you with up to eight times the amount of flakes that is customary for a decorative or partial flake floor
• Kits are designed the same way professionals build floors, often providing you with better quality and more quantity than the typical garage floor installation company will offer

These are commercial grade epoxy flooring systems. This is not the enamel paint garage floor kits sold at big box stores that selectively use the word epoxy to make you believe it is an epoxy floor kit.
