Flake Floors

An epoxy flake floor coating can give your new or old concrete an impressive granite-like finish, that is durable and extremely easy to keep clean. Epoxy coatings provide an impressive finish that will last for many years and can be applied to existing concrete floors, as well as to new surfaces.

The epoxy flake floor is suitable for high traffic areas such as garages, driveways and outdoor areas in the residential environment and warehouses, workshops, showrooms, storage areas, bathrooms and safety areas in the commercial/industrial environment. Epoxy Flake can be used as both an internal and external finish. Due to it being a surface coating, Epoxy Flake can be installed over a new or existing slab of concrete.

Epoxy Flake floors are made up of dry paint flakes and combined with a coloured base coat to create a textured multi-colour finish. Like other concrete floors, Epoxy Flake has a large range of benefiting characteristics.

This concrete surface coating is extremely durable and hard wearing and because of the textured finish, this floor type has a high level of impact resistance. This means that dropping your tools on the ground in the garage or shed will no longer chip or damage your floor. Furthermore an Epoxy Flake floor is non-slip, hygienic, easy to clean, allergen and germ free and affordable, not to mention the quick installation period. Expect 2-3 days drying time before you can walk on it and up to 5 days before you can drive a car over it.

These systems have a scattering of decorative flakes sandwiched between a base coat and finishing coat. The flakes are either polymer (plastic) or reflective metallic. The flakes, also known as chips, come in a wide range of colours and sizes. You can choose the density and pattern that is applied to the floor. This called the broadcast level. This allows you to create an individual and unique look for your internal flooring. Designs and options are only limited by your imagination.
