Flake Flooring Perth
Flake flooring is a versatile, visually appealing, and highly durable solution suitable for both residential and commercial properties in Perth. Also known as epoxy flake flooring or decorative flake floors, this system uses coloured vinyl flakes broadcast onto a resin base, which is then sealed with a clear topcoat. The result is a seamless, non-porous surface that mimics the appearance of granite or terrazzo while offering enhanced performance.
This type of flooring is ideal for garages, retail spaces, workshops, commercial kitchens, driveways, and patios. The resin base provides outstanding strength and adhesion, while the flakes add texture, colour, and visual interest. UV-resistant topcoats can be applied for outdoor applications, making flake flooring just as practical in Perth’s sunny conditions.
Beyond its good looks, flake flooring offers chemical resistance, anti-slip properties, easy maintenance, and resistance to wear and tear, making it a long-lasting flooring solution for high-traffic or high-use areas. It’s a popular upgrade for tired concrete slabs, offering an efficient and mess-free way to rejuvenate old surfaces without demolition.
Customisation Options for Flake Floors
Flake flooring is one of the most customisable concrete coating systems available. You can tailor it to your design preferences and the specific demands of your space:
Flake Colours and Blends: Choose from a wide range of flake colours and sizes to suit the look you want, from natural stone tones like charcoal and tan to bold blues or custom mixes to match your brand.
Resin Type: Select from epoxy, polyurethane, or polyaspartic resins depending on whether the floor is indoors or outdoors, and the level of chemical or UV exposure expected.
Topcoat Finish: Options range from high-gloss to satin or matte, with the possibility of adding extra coats for more durability.
Anti-Slip Additives: For wet or high-risk areas, we can add slip-resistant particles to increase traction without compromising the finish.
Application Scope: Flake flooring can be used seamlessly across different surfaces, inside garages, out on patios, or even in commercial kitchens. We adapt the system to your exact space and purpose.
Benefits of Maintaining Your Flake Floor
Properly installed flake flooring already offers exceptional performance, but with simple ongoing maintenance, it can last many years while maintaining its finish:
Low Maintenance: A non-porous surface means dust, dirt, and spills stay on top and can be easily swept or mopped away.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oil, grease, solvents, and food spills, making it ideal for garages, workshops, and kitchens.
Long-Term Durability: With basic care, flake floors won’t peel, crack, or wear through. Occasional resealing can further extend their lifespan.
Hygienic: Seamless and easy to sanitise, great for food service areas or healthcare settings.
Visual Longevity: Flake floors retain their decorative finish for years. A light recoat in the future can refresh the look without replacing the entire system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does flake flooring relate to polished concrete flooring?
Flake flooring is a coating that sits on top of a concrete floor. It is part of the family of concrete flooring finishes, such as honed and polished.
How long does flake flooring take to install?
Most installations take 2–3 days, depending on the area size and the condition of the concrete. Fast-curing resins like polyaspartic can further reduce downtime.
Is flake flooring suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. UV-stable topcoats and moisture-resistant primers make flake flooring ideal for patios, pool surrounds, and driveways in Perth’s climate.
Can it be applied over existing concrete?
Absolutely. In fact, it’s one of the best ways to resurface and enhance old, stained, or cracked concrete slabs. Proper surface preparation is key.
What colours and styles are available?
There’s a vast range of colour blends and flake sizes available. We help you select the right combination to suit your space and style preferences.
Is it slippery?
The flake texture already adds some grip, but additional anti-slip coatings can be applied if required, especially for outdoor or wet areas.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Simple sweeping and occasional mopping with a neutral cleaner is usually all that’s needed. There’s no need for special products or scrubbing.
Will hot tyres or machinery damage it?
Not at all. Flake flooring is designed to withstand vehicular traffic, dropped tools, and other heavy-duty use. It’s a top choice for Perth garages and workshops.
