Epoxy Resin Flaked Floors

Service Description

An epoxy resin flaked floor, also known as an epoxy flake floor or epoxy chip floor, is a type of flooring system that combines epoxy resin with decorative coloured flakes or chips. Here’s how it’s typically created: 1. Preparation: The existing concrete or substrate is prepared by cleaning, repairing any cracks or imperfections, and ensuring it’s level and smooth. 2. Epoxy Primer: A layer of epoxy primer is applied to the prepared substrate. This primer helps to bond the epoxy resin to the surface and acts as a base layer. 3. Deep Epoxy Resin Coat: Next, a layer of epoxy resin is applied. This resin is typically tinted to the desired colour or left clear. It creates a durable, high-gloss surface that is easy to clean and resistant to stains and damage. 4. Flakes/Chips: While the epoxy resin is still wet, decorative flakes or chips are scattered or broadcast evenly across the surface. These flakes come in various colours and sizes, allowing for customization in terms of appearance. They add texture and depth to the floor and can help hide imperfections. 5. Topcoat: After the epoxy resin and flakes are in place, a clear topcoat of epoxy is applied over the entire surface. This topcoat provides additional protection and durability, sealing in the flakes and creating a smooth, glossy finish. Benefits of epoxy resin flaked floors include: • Durability: Epoxy is a tough and long-lasting material that can withstand heavy traffic and resist damage from chemicals, moisture, and impact. • Aesthetic Appeal: The decorative flakes or chips provide a visually appealing, textured appearance that can mimic the look of terrazzo or granite. • Easy Maintenance: Epoxy flaked floors are relatively easy to clean and maintain, making them suitable for various commercial and industrial settings. • Customization: There is a wide range of colours and flake sizes available, allowing for customization to match the desired aesthetic. Epoxy resin flaked floors are commonly used in garages, commercial spaces, showrooms, and even residential areas where a durable and attractive flooring option is desired. Book now for a free quote!
