Epoxy flakes are decorative chips broadcast into a wet epoxy basecoat to create a seamless, decorative flooring finish. They are available in different colours and sizes, allowing you to customise the appearance of the finished floor.

Epoxy flake flooring is suitable for a range of residential and commercial spaces, including garages, workshops, showrooms, retail stores, cafes, storage areas, residential interiors and covered outdoor areas.

Epoxy flakes are broadcast evenly into a wet epoxy basecoat while the coating is still workable. Once the system has cured as required, a compatible clear protective topcoat is applied to seal the flakes and complete the flooring system.

A typical system includes concrete preparation, a suitable primer or moisture barrier where required, an epoxy basecoat, decorative flakes and a compatible clear topcoat. The products selected should be suitable for the specific substrate and intended application.

The right flake blend depends on the colour scheme and the appearance you want to achieve. Different flake sizes and colour combinations can create anything from a subtle, natural finish to a more heavily patterned decorative floor.

The amount required depends on the floor area, flake size and level of coverage you want to achieve. Consistent broadcasting is important for an even finish, so always follow the recommended coverage for the specific flake and flooring system.

An UltraKote flake system typically includes Ultra Primer or UltraBarrier, UltraShield epoxy, Elite Flakes, and a clear protective topcoat such as UltraKote UVSeal or Armafloor 500 AU. The selected products depend on the substrate, moisture conditions and intended application.
