An epoxy flake floor is a resinous coating for outdoor surfaces like patios and pool decks that combines epoxy resin with decorative vinyl flakes for a durable, attractive, and slip-resistant finish. Outdoor-specific epoxy flake systems contain UV-resistant additives to prevent fading and yellowing from sun exposure. The installation involves applying a base epoxy coat, broadcasting (hand-tossing) colored flakes onto the wet surface, and then applying a protective, clear polyaspartic or UV-resistant topcoat to seal the system and enhance its resistance to moisture and temperature changes
