Vinyl flake epoxy flooring: what we're actually talking about
In our trade, vinyl flake flooring isn't a vinyl plank or tile that gets glued down or floated over a subfloor. It's an epoxy coating poured directly onto the concrete, into which decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast before sealing everything with a polyaspartic top coat. The result is a seamless floor with no planks and no risk of edges lifting, which is very different from traditional vinyl flooring.
This distinction matters because it completely changes how pricing works. A vinyl plank floor is often priced per square foot based on the product bought at the store. A vinyl flake epoxy floor, on the other hand, depends mainly on the prep work and application done on site by the team that comes to your home.
What really affects the price of your project
There's no fixed rate we can quote without seeing the surface first. Here are the factors that carry the most weight in a quote:
- The condition of the existing concrete: cracks, oil stains, residual moisture, or an old coating to remove all mean more prep work.
- The total surface area: a double garage, a full basement, or a warehouse floor don't have the same material or labour needs.
- The finish chosen: vinyl flakes, hand-applied metallic, and double-broadcast quartz each require different steps and product quantities.
- Access and site conditions: a commercial or industrial job with tight schedules or areas that need protecting also changes the scope of work.
- The desired flake density: a light coverage or a full coverage affects how much material gets applied.
Without this information, no price posted online would be honest. That's why we prefer to assess each surface before giving you a number.
Why prep work changes everything
Diamond grinding is the step we never skip. A floor that isn't properly ground and prepped is a floor that risks delaminating over time, no matter how good the epoxy on top is. All the prep work, from grinding to applying the top coat, is done by our own team, with no subcontracting. This step, often invisible once the floor is finished, is what affects labour time the most, and therefore the final price.
A floor that's had a previous coating, shows rising damp, or has active cracks needs more prep time than clean, new concrete. It's only fair that the price reflects this reality rather than a generic per-square-foot rate.
Vinyl flakes, metallic, or quartz: a choice that also affects your budget
The three finishes we offer don't share the same material cost or application complexity:
- The vinyl flake finish gives a textured, uniform look, often chosen for residential garages and workshops.
- The hand-applied metallic finish requires more artisanal work, with precise movements to create depth effects.
- The double-broadcast quartz finish is built for surfaces that need to withstand heavier commercial or industrial use.
Choosing a finish isn't just about looks, it directly affects your budget because each finish requires a different application method.
How to get an accurate price for your floor
The only reliable way to know the price of your vinyl flake epoxy floor is to have your surface assessed. We look at the condition of the concrete, the surface area, the intended use of the floor, and the finish you prefer. From there, we can give you a quote that truly matches your project, whether you're in Quebec City, Lévis, Saint-Georges, Beaupré, or Portneuf.

What your floor keeps once it's installed
No matter which finish you choose, every floor installed by our team comes with a 10-year warranty. This warranty reflects how we work: full diamond grinding prep, application done by the same team from start to finish, and a polyaspartic finish to protect it all. That's what sets a properly installed vinyl flake epoxy floor apart from a glued or floating vinyl floor, both in terms of durability and pricing logic.
