High-Performance Epoxy Flake Flooring Systems

By Jack Josephsen


Real World Epoxies manufactures high-performance epoxy flake flooring systems for residential, commercial and industrial concrete floors across Australia.

Our two decorative flooring systems, Resin Vinyl and Resin Granite, are designed to transform dull, stained or damaged concrete into a durable, seamless and easy-to-maintain surface. Both systems use solvent-free epoxy products and are available in a range of colour blends and finish options to suit different spaces and design preferences.

Epoxy flake flooring is commonly used in garages, workshops, retail spaces, showrooms, offices, warehouses and other areas where appearance, durability and ease of cleaning are important.

Unlike basic DIY kits, our systems are designed for professional application and long-term performance. They provide greater control over appearance, coverage, slip resistance and the finished surface.

Choosing the Right Epoxy Flake Flooring System

Choosing the right epoxy flake flooring system involves more than selecting a colour. Product quality, concrete preparation and professional application all influence how the finished floor looks and how long it lasts. 


The long-term performance of an epoxy flake floor depends heavily on surface preparation and application. Concrete generally needs to be mechanically prepared before coating, often by diamond grinding.. Cracks, contamination, moisture, porosity and uneven areas must also be identified and addressed before the flooring system is applied. Professional installers understand the correct preparation methods, mixing procedures, application thicknesses, working times and site conditions required to achieve a consistent finish. DIY installation may appear less expensive initially, but poor preparation or application can lead to peeling, uneven coverage and costly repairs.




1. Choose a System That Suits the Space 


A professionally installed epoxy flake floor can: cover stained, worn or damaged concrete help protect concrete from water, chemicals and abrasion create a brighter and more attractive space provide a seamless surface that is easier to clean improve slip resistance through textured finish options create cleaner transitions around walls, edges and adjoining surfaces Epoxy flake flooring is commonly used in garages, workshops, retail areas, showrooms and other residential or commercial spaces where durability and appearance are both important.

2. Use Professional-Grade Flooring Products 

Specialist epoxy flake systems use high-performance epoxy coatings and protective topcoats that bond strongly to properly prepared concrete. Unlike basic floor paints and many entry-level DIY kits, professional systems are designed to withstand regular vehicle traffic, cleaning, spills and everyday wear. Real World Epoxies uses solvent-free coating technology in its Resin Vinyl and Resin Granite systems. This provides strong performance without the odour and disruption commonly associated with solvent-based coatings.

3. Make Sure the Floor Is Properly Installed

The long-term performance of an epoxy flake floor depends heavily on surface preparation and application. Concrete generally needs to be mechanically prepared before coating, often by diamond grinding.. Cracks, contamination, moisture, porosity and uneven areas must also be identified and addressed before the flooring system is applied. Professional installers understand the correct preparation methods, mixing procedures, application thicknesses, working times and site conditions required to achieve a consistent finish.
