About Flake Epoxy Floors

Flake epoxy is the most popular garage floor finish in Melbourne — a high-build epoxy base broadcast with coloured vinyl flake and sealed under a UV-stable polyaspartic top coat. The result is a hard-wearing, slip-rated floor that hides minor imperfections, resists hot tyres and looks fantastic for decades.

  • You want a finish that hides minor concrete imperfections
  • You park hot tyres straight off a Melbourne summer drive
  • You need a slip-resistant surface for kids, pets or workshop use

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a flake epoxy floor take?

Most Melbourne single and double garages are completed in 2 days — grind and prep day one, coatings day two. Foot traffic next day, drive-on after 72 hours.

Is flake epoxy slip resistant?

Yes — the flake itself creates a textured surface, and we can specify additional non-slip additives for steeper driveways or wet areas.

Will hot tyres lift the coating?

No. Our flake systems are finished with a polyaspartic top coat specifically rated for hot-tyre pickup, even in Melbourne summer conditions.

Can you match a colour to my home?

Yes. We bring sample boards on the quote visit so you can choose a flake blend that complements your home's exterior and Colorbond colours.

Does flake epoxy hide concrete imperfections?

Flake is the best finish for hiding minor cracks, repairs and slab imperfections — much more forgiving than solid colour or metallic finishes.

How do I clean it?

Sweep or blow regularly, mop with warm water and a mild detergent. No waxing or sealing required.
