Decorative flake & quartz flooring for hardworking spaces.
Resinous flooring that combines practical surface performance with color, texture and a more finished appearance for commercial and industrial facilities.
Decorative flooring designed for real-world use.
Decorative flake and quartz floors use aggregates within a resinous flooring system to create a distinctive finish. The materials, broadcast method, texture and protective topcoat can be selected around the space's traffic, cleaning routines and desired appearance.
New England Floor & Wall has documented decorative flooring installations in Massachusetts, including projects at Hilliard's Chocolates in North Easton and Harriman & West Airport in North Adams.
Flake and quartz: two distinctive finishes
Decorative flake
Vinyl color flakes can create a multi-tonal finish that helps visually soften everyday marks and offers a wide range of color combinations.
Decorative quartz
Colored quartz aggregates can provide a textured appearance in a resinous system, with the degree of texture tailored to the application.
Seamless details
Depending on project requirements, these systems can incorporate cove bases, transitions and finish details that support cleaning and continuity.
Choose the finish around the facility.
Color matters, but decorative resinous flooring still needs to be specified for the conditions on site. We evaluate the existing concrete, anticipated traffic, exposure, cleaning procedures and installation schedule.
Substrate condition
Moisture, previous coatings, cracks and surface profile help determine the preparation and installation plan.
Traction & cleaning
Surface texture should balance the facility's slip-resistance needs with the practical demands of cleaning and maintenance.
Color & finish
Aggregate blends, coverage, topcoat and finish details influence both the appearance and the final surface characteristics.
Decorative floors in commercial facilities.
Our published success stories show how decorative resinous flooring can be adapted to different spaces, from the Hilliard's Chocolates project to a decorative quartz installation at Harriman & West Airport.
These examples illustrate finished work. Each new project still requires an evaluation of its substrate and operating conditions.

What is the difference between epoxy flake and quartz flooring?
Flake systems use decorative chips, while quartz systems use colored mineral aggregates. Both can be incorporated into resinous flooring, but their texture, appearance and performance depend on the complete system specification.
Is decorative epoxy flooring suitable for commercial spaces?
It can be, provided the system is matched to traffic, exposure, cleaning requirements and the existing substrate. Commercial spaces vary significantly in their flooring needs.
Are flake and quartz floors slip-resistant?
Texture and traction depend on aggregate selection, broadcast coverage, topcoat and site conditions. No floor is slip-proof; the finish should be evaluated for expected use and maintenance.
Can decorative flooring be installed over existing concrete?
Often, after inspecting and preparing the slab. Moisture, contamination, cracks and existing coatings may affect the installation approach.
How do you clean decorative flake or quartz floors?
Maintenance depends on the selected resinous system and topcoat. A suitable cleaning program should consider the finish texture, facility contaminants and manufacturer's guidance.
