Aqua Blue & Emerald Green Glow Flakes (PhotoLuminescent Glow in Dark) For Floor Coating Systems | Indoor | Outdoor

Do glow-in-the-dark epoxy floors really work?

Yes. Glow-in-the-dark flakes are photoluminescent decorative flakes that absorb light lighting and release it in darkness. When broadcast into epoxy, polyaspartic, or urethane floor coatings and sealed with a clear topcoat, they create a visible glow effect in low-light conditions.

How bright are glow flakes in epoxy flooring?

Glow brightness depends on several factors including:

• Amount of flakes used

• Light exposure before darkness

• Type of lighting used to charge them

• Darkness of the surrounding area

The glow is brightest immediately after lights go out and gradually softens over time.

Can you add glow flakes to an existing epoxy floor?

Glow flakes are normally installed during the coating application by broadcasting them into a wet basecoat and sealing them under a clear finish.
If an existing floor is being recoated, glow flakes may be added during the new coating layer provided proper surface preparation is completed.

What is the best base color for glow epoxy floors?

Glow flakes can be used over many base colors, but lighter base coats often provide stronger visual contrast for maximum glow visibility. Darker base colors can still be used when the goal is a subtle or decorative glow effect rather than maximum brightness.

Can glow flakes be mixed with standard vinyl flake blends?

Yes. Glow flakes are often mixed into standard decorative flake blends to create accent glow effects while maintaining the desired daytime color appearance.

Most glow flakes appear light-colored or slightly tinted in daylight and only glow in darkness. They can be blended into existing flake systems without dramatically changing daytime appearance.

Do glow flakes change the color of my floor during the day?

Most glow flakes appear light-colored in daylight and only glow in darkness. They can be blended into existing flake systems without dramatically changing daytime appearance.

Are glow flakes professional-grade or DIY friendly?

They can be used by both:

• Professional installers

• Experienced DIY users

Will the glow fade over time?

Photoluminescent flakes generally maintain their glow capability for many years when protected under a clear coating.

The surface coating durability will typically determine system lifespan rather than the glow material itself.

Are glow flakes slip-resistant?

Glow flakes themselves do not create slip resistance. Consider using Anti-Slip Glow Sand instead for a glow option that can be used outdoors.

Slip resistance comes from:

• Broadcast texture

• Anti-slip additives

• Aggregate systems

Can glow flakes be used outdoors?

Yes our Glow flakes work well  outdoors. For an anti-slip surface outdoors, consider using Anti-Slip Glow Sand.

Usage depends on effect desired:

• Light accent → small percentage mixed into blend

• Medium glow → moderate broadcast

• Full glow → heavy broadcast
