For homeowners, builders and specifiers, we can help you understand whether Resin Vinyl is right for your project and connect you with a recommended installer.

Resin Vinyl is a multi-layer flooring system rather than a simple coat of garage floor paint. A typical system consists of:
A coloured, solvent-free epoxy rollcoat that forms the base of the flooring system and provides the wet coating for the decorative flake broadcast.
Decorative 6 mm vinyl flakes are broadcast into the wet epoxy to create the traditional garage flake finish.
A clear polyurethane topcoat seals and protects the decorative flakes while providing the final gloss level and surface finish. A primer may also be used where required, depending on the condition and porosity of the concrete. The exact system should always be selected to suit the substrate and expected service conditions.
The seamless, stain-resistant surface handles spills from all common household and commercial chemicals, and is easily maintained with normal cleaning equipment.
Take your pick of gloss or semi-gloss finishes for your epoxy flake garage floor. If you’re worried about slips and falls in the wet, you
can even get added slip resistance.

Garages are one of the most popular applications for epoxy flake flooring because the system combines appearance with practical performance.
It is particularly suited to homeowners who want to improve a stained or ageing concrete slab, make the garage easier to maintain or turn the area into a more usable part of the home.
Garage flake flooring can work particularly well for:
The right system still depends on the condition of the concrete and the way the area will be used.
Professional installation normally begins with mechanical preparation of the concrete.
For a standard Resin Vinyl garage floor, the process generally includes:
Good surface preparation is one of the most important parts of the job.
Even high-quality epoxy products will struggle to perform properly if the underlying concrete has not been assessed and prepared correctly.
A standard Resin Vinyl garage floor of around 50 m² or less will generally take approximately two days to install, with light foot traffic typically possible from the third day.
The project may take longer if the floor has:
Your installer should advise when the floor can be walked on and when vehicles can safely return.
There are a few things you can do before installation to help the project run smoothly.
Remove vehicles, boxes, shelving and other movable items before the installer arrives. If heavy or fixed items cannot be moved, let the installer know beforehand.
The installer will need clear access to the garage, along with access to power and the work area.
Dust, insects, foot traffic and other trades can interfere with freshly applied flooring. Where possible, keep doors, windows and access points controlled while coatings are being applied and cured.
The garage will be out of normal use during installation and curing. Make alternative arrangements for vehicles and stored items before the work begins.
1. Solvent-Free
Resin Vinyl uses solvent-free coating technology. That means no strong solvent smell during application, making it particularly suitable for garages attached to homes or other occupied spaces.
2. Professional-Grade Resin Technology
Resin Vinyl uses epoxy and polyurethane products designed for professional flooring applications rather than basic garage floor paint. The complete system is designed to provide a durable finish for regular vehicle and foot traffic.
3. Easy to Maintain
The finished floor is seamless, with no grout lines or joints where dirt can easily collect. Regular sweeping and normal cleaning are generally all that is required to keep the surface looking good.
4. Decorative Finish
The full flake broadcast creates a textured, multi-coloured appearance that can help disguise everyday dust, dirt and marks.
5. 8 Colour Blends
Resin Vinyl is available in 8 colour combinations selected to work with a wide range of homes, garages and commercial interiors.
6. Different Finish Options
Choose from gloss or semi-gloss finishes, with additional slip resistance available where required.

Garage floor paint and professional epoxy flake flooring are not the same thing. Basic floor paints usually create a relatively thin decorative coating over the concrete. A professional flake flooring system involves mechanical surface preparation, a resin basecoat, decorative flakes and a protective clear topcoat.
This creates a complete flooring system rather than simply changing the colour of the concrete. DIY kits and floor paints may suit some applications, but the finished result depends heavily on surface preparation, product quality and application technique. For homeowners looking for a long-term garage finish, professional preparation and installation will generally provide a more reliable result.

For this reason, an installer will usually need information about the actual garage before providing an accurate quote. Real World Epoxies
manufactures and supplies the Resin Vinyl system rather than installing floors directly.
If you are a homeowner, builder or specifier, we can help connect you with a recommended installer for a project quote.
