Discover Ultra Flake: The Ultimate Flake Epoxy Flooring System That Transforms Your Concrete Surfaces
THE Seamless EPOXY ALTERNATIVE
Concrete does not have to look boring. Ultra Flake is a decorative flake epoxy flooring system designed to turn plain, stained, or worn concrete into a seamless, modern surface that looks good and is simple to care for. Whether you are upgrading a garage, resurfacing a patio, or fitting out a commercial space, flake epoxy flooring pairs attractive finishes with long-lasting performance.
What Is Flake Epoxy Flooring?
Flake epoxy flooring gives a result similar to terrazzo. The process starts with a properly prepared concrete slab. A coloured resin base coat is applied. While that coat is still wet, decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast across the surface. After the excess flakes are removed, a protective topcoat is applied. The finished floor is textured, speckled, and balances beauty with practical function.
Also called epoxy flake flooring or flaked epoxy flooring, these names refer to the same system that upgrades ordinary concrete into vibrant, unique surfaces.
The Components of an Ultra Flake Epoxy Floor
An Ultra Flake floor includes a prepared concrete base, a coloured epoxy resin, a 100% solid base coat, decorative vinyl flakes, and a clear protective topcoat. The base coat provides colour and adhesion for the flakes. The flakes add texture and visual depth. The clear topcoat seals everything, improving durability and resistance to wear and moisture.
How Epoxy Flake Flooring Creates That Stunning Terrazzo Effect
The terrazzo-like look comes from how flakes are distributed in the epoxy base coat. Flakes come in various sizes and colours, so once sealed, the floor has a multi-dimensional, speckled appearance. Layers combine to create a natural-stone look that remains smooth and durable for everyday use.

How Does Flaked Epoxy Flooring Work?
Flaked epoxy flooring follows a controlled installation process. First, the existing concrete is inspected and prepared by cleaning and profiling. Next, a coloured epoxy base coat is applied, and decorative flakes are broadcast while the base is still wet.
After curing, surplus flakes are removed by scraping and vacuuming. Finally, a high-performance protective topcoat is applied to lock in colour and provide resistance to wear and moisture.
Preparing Your Concrete Surface for the Perfect Finish
Preparation starts with identifying contaminants, existing coatings, moisture levels, and surface defects. The concrete is thoroughly cleaned and mechanically profiled so the epoxy will adhere properly. Any cracks or damage are repaired to create a stable base for the coating.
Applying the Base Coat and Broadcasting Decorative Flakes
The coloured epoxy base coat is spread evenly over the prepared concrete. While the epoxy is wet, vinyl flakes are sprinkled across the surface to achieve uniform coverage. This step produces the distinctive textured pattern that sets Ultra Flake apart.
Scraping, Cleaning, and Sealing for a Seamless Finish
Once the flakes have set, excess chips are scraped and vacuumed away to smooth the surface while keeping texture. The final step is a clear protective topcoat that seals the floor, increasing durability and resistance to stains, abrasion, and moisture.
How Does Flaked Epoxy Flooring Work?
Ultra Flake gives more than looks. The design helps hide minor surface faults, such as hairline cracks or stains, making it a great choice for renovation work. The seamless finish resists dirt buildup and is easy to keep clean with a sweep and the occasional mop.
It is also versatile, working well in both homes and commercial spaces. The system handles heavy foot traffic, vehicle loads, and daily wear, so it performs reliably over time.
Aesthetics That Impress and Hide Imperfections
A wide selection of vinyl flake colours and blends lets you customise the floor to suit any space. At the same time, the textured flakes help mask blemishes and minor wear, so the floor looks consistent and attractive.
Seamless, Durable, and Low Maintenance
Because Ultra Flake cures to a single, continuous surface without grout lines or joints, there are fewer places for dirt to collect. That makes it easier to clean than tiled floors. The epoxy and topcoat combine to provide excellent wear resistance and protect against spills.
Versatility for Both Residential and Commercial Spaces
Ultra Flake suits garages, patios, and alfresco areas, as well as commercial settings like showrooms, retail stores, workshops, and change rooms. It stands up to different levels of foot and vehicle traffic, making it a dependable choice across many applications.
Popular Applications of Flake Epoxy Flooring
Garage Flake Epoxy Flooring: From Dusty to Dazzling
Flake epoxy flooring gives garages a practical makeover, replacing stained and dusty concrete with a tough, attractive surface that supports vehicles, storage, and workspace needs. Practical and stylish. For homeowners and hobbyists alike.
Patio and Entertainment Areas: Style Meets Function
For outdoor living spaces, flaked epoxy adds slip resistance and easy cleaning while lifting visual appeal. These qualities suit patios, alfresco dining areas, and entertainment zones where safety and cleanliness matter.
Commercial Spaces: Professional, Practical, and Eye-Catching
In commercial settings, Ultra Flake provides a polished look while standing up to high foot traffic. Its wear resistance and ability to conceal surface wear make it ideal for retail spaces, showrooms, and workshops.
Customising Your Flaked Epoxy Flooring
Customisation covers flake colour, blend, gloss level, and texture. This lets you create flooring that complements your style and meets functional needs.
Choosing Flake Colours and Blends to Suit Your Style
Vinyl flakes are available in a wide palette, from neutral and earth tones to vibrant shades and stone-inspired mixes. These choices allow you to match home décor or brand colours.
Gloss Levels and Texture Options for Every Need
Finishes range from high gloss to satin and matte. High gloss offers a polished showroom look, while lower gloss levels provide a more subdued surface suited to outdoor or high-traffic areas.
Selecting the Right Finish Based on Your Space
Think about lighting, floor size, and daily activity when choosing gloss and texture. These factors affect how the floor looks and performs over time, helping you balance appearance and practicality.

Concrete Inspection and Preparation
The team checks for contaminants, moisture, old coatings, cracks, and damage. Thorough cleaning and mechanical profiling are completed to prepare the slab for epoxy adhesion.
Repairing Cracks and Surface Imperfections
Minor cracks and defects are repaired to create an even surface. More significant structural issues may need further assessment beyond standard repair work.
Base Coat Application and Flake Broadcast
An even layer of coloured epoxy base coat is applied, then decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast while the base remains wet to achieve consistent coverage.
Scraping, Cleaning, and Applying the Protective Topcoat
After curing, excess flakes are removed by scraping and vacuuming. A clear protective topcoat is applied to seal the surface, improving durability and resistance.
Slip-Resistance Additions for Safety
When required, slip-resistant additives are mixed into the topcoat, especially for outdoor areas, wet zones, or workplaces where extra grip is important.
