hiukaspäällystykset

Hiukaspäällystykset, also known as flake coatings or chip coatings, are decorative and functional surface treatments applied to floors, walls, and other substrates. They are created by broadcasting small, colored flakes into a wet coating material, typically a resin-based binder like epoxy or polyurethane. Once the binder cures, the flakes become embedded and are often sealed with a clear topcoat for enhanced durability and a smooth finish.

The primary purpose of hiukaspäällystykset is to provide an aesthetically pleasing and resilient surface. The flakes come in a wide array of colors and sizes, allowing for a vast range of decorative patterns and custom designs. This makes them suitable for various applications, including residential garages, commercial spaces, retail environments, and even industrial settings where a visually appealing yet robust floor is desired. Beyond aesthetics, the embedded flakes can contribute to increased slip resistance, especially when combined with specific aggregate additives in the topcoat.

The application process involves preparing the substrate, applying the base coat of binder, broadcasting the flakes while the binder is still wet, and then applying a clear topcoat. The choice of binder and topcoat depends on the expected wear, chemical exposure, and desired performance characteristics of the finished surface. Hiukaspäällystykset offer a durable, low-maintenance solution that combines decorative appeal with practical functionality.
