How to Estimate Decorative Flake Coverage with Torginol's Coverage Rate Calculator

One of the most common questions I hear from homeowners and contractors installing resinous garage floors is, "How much decorative flake do I need?"

Ordering the right amount of flake is one of the most important parts of planning your project. Order too little and you may not achieve full coverage. Order too much and you've spent money on material you didn't need.

Fortunately, Torginol has made the process incredibly simple with their Coverage Rate Calculator available on their website.

Where to Find the Coverage Rate Calculator

Start by visiting Torginol.com.

At the top of the page, click on Resources, then select Coverage Rate Calculator from the dropdown menu.

The calculator is free to use and only takes a minute to complete.

Step 1: Select Your Decorative Flake

The first step is choosing the decorative flake blend you're planning to install. Torginol offers a wide variety of flake sizes and color blends, and the calculator is designed specifically for their products.

Once you've selected your flake, you'll move on to the coverage settings.

Step 2: Enter Your Floor Size

Measure the length and width of your garage or floor area and calculate the total square footage.

For example:

• 20' × 20' garage = 400 square feet

• 24' × 24' garage = 576 square feet

Enter the total square footage into the calculator.

Step 3: Choose Your Broadcast Rate

The next step is selecting the amount of decorative flake coverage you want.

Whether you're applying a light broadcast, medium broadcast, or a full broadcast system, the calculator adjusts the required amount of flake accordingly.

For garage floors, I almost always recommend a full broadcast. A full broadcast creates complete flake coverage, provides a more uniform appearance, improves slip resistance, and produces the durable finish most homeowners expect from a professional resinous floor.

Step 4: View Your Results

Once you've entered your information, the calculator instantly provides the amount of decorative flake you'll need for your project.

Instead of guessing, you'll know exactly how many pounds or boxes to order before you begin.

This helps you:

• Avoid running out of flake during installation.

• Prevent unnecessary material costs.

• Create more accurate estimates for customers.

• Plan your project with confidence.

Why Accurate Estimating Matters

Decorative flake isn't just for appearance—it also affects the performance and overall look of your floor.

If you're applying a full broadcast system and don't have enough flake, you'll end up with inconsistent coverage and visible resin showing through the surface. Having the proper amount of material ensures a professional finish from wall to wall.

For contractors, accurate estimating also means more accurate bids, fewer change orders, and better profit margins.
