Outdoor concrete takes a beating. Rain, foot traffic, freeze-thaw cycles - it all adds up fast. That's exactly why a bare concrete entryway on a high-traffic public building like a city hall isn't just an eyesore, it's a liability waiting to happen. We knew this job called for a system built to last.
We installed a full outdoor epoxy flake system at Cascade City Hall, finished with a polyaspartic top coat and a traction additive worked right into the surface. The color is loon - a clean mix of grey, white, and dark tones that works perfectly against the natural stone exterior of the building. It's sharp without being flashy.
The polyaspartic top coat is the workhorse here. It's UV stable, which matters a lot for an outdoor surface that gets direct sun exposure. It's also harder and faster-curing than standard epoxy alone, which makes it a smarter choice for a building that can't afford extended downtime. The traction additive gives the surface real grip - important for a public entry that sees heavy foot traffic in all kinds of weather.
The flake broadcast goes down during the base coat phase, and you get a lot of visual depth out of it once the top coat is applied and ground back smooth. It's one of those systems where the finished surface looks great and actually performs better because of the texture underneath. That's the kind of win you want on a commercial job.
This is a good example of what a flake floor system can do beyond the garage. Covered patios, building entrances, walkways - anywhere you need something that holds up outdoors and still looks professional. The loon color finish here ties the whole entry together cleanly.
