How to Choose the Right Epoxy Flake Finish for Your Concrete
There are a few different elements to consider when choosing your epoxy flake finish, and the first one to consider is the base color. Many of these finishes are made up of a base color and a few different flakes of varying color and texture. A floor can be finished entirely with flake, but if you want a base color, choose it first.
Choosing a somewhat neutral base color is a common place to start, but sometimes it just fits your style to go crazy and pick bright red, and more power to you! Some of the best looking finished are bold!
Once you’ve chosen your base, it’s time to move on to the flakes. Usually, people choose another somewhat neutral color for the primary flake color to offset the base color. From there, you can throw in one or two accent colors to give the “pop” you are looking for. It helps if the accent colors are related in tone.

How Long Does Epoxy Concrete Finish Last?
This is a good question and one that has an interesting answer. Because epoxy concrete finished are so often applied in high-traffic areas like garages, they are often quoted as lasting about 15-25 years. But epoxy finishes that are applied in settings that aren’t as punishing as a garage can last for up to 30 years!
