Most of the people we work with are homeowners who want to upgrade their garages and living spaces and business owners who want to modernise their commercial space. Regardless, if you want a textured, attractive floor that provides grip and durability to your floors, then our epoxy flake flooring services will be of help to you.
Flake Epoxy Adds More Grip
Plain epoxy finishes look amazing after they've cured. A sheet of epoxy resin over your entire floor that gives your space a modern, bright aesthetic. The only issue is when moisture and water is introduced to your smooth epoxy floor. Suddenly, water tracked in from tyres on a rainy day will gather on your floor, and what happens is a thin layer of water forms over your epoxy and turns your floor into a skating rink. Dandenong Epoxy Flooring addresses this with our tough epoxy flake systems, where thousands of vinyl chips are broadcast through your epoxy and maintain traction with your shoes and feet even when it gets wet, keeping you safe.
Benefits of an Epoxy Flake Floor
Flake Systems Hide Daily Wear and Dirt
Plain standard epoxy floors aren't the best for garages or warehouses, where dirt marks and scuffs easily show. What was initially a clean epoxy floor loses its aesthetic look as tyre, foot marks, and even scratches start to show clearly on plain epoxy surfaces. Our epoxy flooring contractors in Dandenong, VIC solve this issue with our flake epoxy systems. The multi-coloured chips create visual camouflage where dirt blends in, and marks aren't easily shown, whilst staying easy to clean with a mop or cloth. The result you get is a low-maintenance, versatile floor.
The Slip Resistance Problem in Garages
Garages present slip hazards that smooth flooring doesn't address, especially when it gets wet. Water can easily come into your garage from rain, snow, and road moisture from your tyres. Not only that, but oil and automotive fluid also create slippery spots on your floor. Our team ensures your floors stay slip-resistant by installing flake epoxy systems that add texture and grip to your floor, that maintains traction even when wet. Flakes create grip points that your show and feet can hold onto, whilst the topcoat allow for easy cleaning with standard mopping.
Full Broadcast vs. Partial Coverage
Flake systems use different broadcast densities depending on functional requirements and aesthetic preferences. Here are the two options we provide:
Partial broadcast coverage: a 30-60% flake broadcast over your base epoxy floor. This is the cheaper option due to reduced flake usage, whilst keeping more of your base coat's epoxy flooring colour.
Full broadcast coverage: an 80-100% flake broadcast covers almost all of your base epoxy floor. This is more expensive but creates traction and a lot of texture, where your floor's colour will mainly come from the colour of your chips.
If you're ready to invest in a durable floor that is versatile yet low-maintenance for your home or business, epoxy flake floors are the best to go with. Our epoxy flooring contractors in Dandenong, VIC can run you through our resin and flake options to best suit your budget and style.

Our Epoxy Flake Flooring Application Process
Epoxy flake installations need time, technique, and experience to be done well. Thorough preparation and a proven process are what differentiate quality results from epoxy job failures. Unlike solid-colour epoxy flooring systems that are generally simpler and have an easier process to follow, broadcast flake applications will require skill in broadcasting flakes as well as expertise in when to spread flakes throughout your floor. When going for a plain epoxy floor, you still need proper surface preparation to ensure the resin bonds well with the floor before applying your primer and base coat from resins you've mixed with hardeners and acrylic paints. The part where it changes for epoxy flake flooring is the step after which is to spread vinyl and acrylic flakes throughout your floor evenly, and choosing when to do it, which is finalised with a top coat after the flakes have settled. Our trained epoxy flooring workers follow systematic processes refined through years of installations and ensure each step is done thoroughly and with detail.
Surface Preparation and Repair
Before any epoxy resin touches your concrete, our epoxy flooring contractors thoroughly prepare your surface with concrete grinding to remove the top layer of your concrete's surface, along with any paint and wear on your concrete, which will allow for proper bonding to our epoxy coats. Our epoxy flooring contractors ensure this is done well before moving to the next step.
Primer and Base Coat with Flake Broadcast
Once your concrete is ground and repaired, we apply a primer coat and a base coat with quality resin products that act as the first layer of epoxy that covers your concrete. Shortly after, we start broadcasting flakes whilst the base coat is wet and tacky. This can be done with partial or full flake coverage for your floor.
Clear Topcoat Application
We now remove any excess flakes and ensure your surface is properly clean and dried before applying a clear top coat that will seal the broadcast chips with the base coat underneath, creating a smooth, glossy surface that reflects light and brightens your space. We also use UV-resistant topcoats, which ensure your floor doesn't yellow over time.
Final Inspection and Walkthrough
Once the top coat has been applied onto your new epoxy flake floor, we conduct a full walkthrough to ensure each part of the floor is embedded with no loose chips, and no dirt is on the floor. We then give you instructions on what to do for the next few days, ensuring that the floor is thoroughly dry before any vehicles can drive or park on it.

FAQs
How long does epoxy flooring last?
A properly installed epoxy floor can last 10–20 years or more. Lifespan depends on prep, traffic, and how the space is used. Poor prep or heavy abuse can shorten this.
Is epoxy flooring slippery?
It can be slippery when wet if it’s smooth. This is common in garages or commercial areas. The fix is simple—add flake or anti-slip additives to create grip.
Why do some epoxy floors peel or fail?
Most failures come down to poor preparation or moisture in the slab. If the surface is dirty, smooth, or damp, the epoxy won’t bond properly and can lift later.
How long before I can use the floor?
Most floors can be walked on within 12–24 hours. Vehicles usually return after 24–72 hours, depending on the system and weather.
Can epoxy handle cars and heavy use?
Yes. Epoxy is designed to handle cars, foot traffic, and even machinery in commercial settings. It’s much stronger than paint or basic coatings.
