Epoxy Flake Garage Floors

A garage floor cops it all: oil, grease, water, tyres and tools. An epoxy flake floor gives you a tough, seamless, easy-clean surface with a speckled finish that hides dust and marks and looks great. At Grind It, we grind the concrete properly first, because an epoxy floor is only as good as the preparation underneath.

What is an epoxy flake floor?

An epoxy flake floor is a coating system bonded to your concrete. A coloured epoxy base coat goes down first. Decorative flakes are then broadcast into it, and a clear topcoat locks it all in. The result is a seamless floor that resists stains and chemicals and wipes clean. We use a water-based epoxy flake system with a range of colour blends to choose from.

Where does it suit?

Epoxy flake is ideal for single and double garages, home workshops, sheds and man caves. It also works in laundries and other indoor areas – we've laid epoxy flake inside homes too – and in commercial spaces such as showrooms and workshops.

Why choose epoxy flake?

It resists oil, grease and many chemicals, and helps reduce concrete staining and tyre marks. It's seamless and easy to sweep and mop. The flake hides dust and small imperfections, and there are plenty of colour options to suit your home.

Our process

  1. Quote and colour selection – we check the slab and help you choose from the colour chart.
  2. Diamond grinding – we grind the whole floor to remove the weak top layer and old coatings, and to give the epoxy something to grip.
  3. Repairs – we fill cracks, holes and damaged joints.
  4. Base coat and flake – we roll out the epoxy and broadcast the flake.
  5. Scrape and topcoat – we remove loose flake and apply the clear topcoat.
  6. Cure and handover – we'll let you know when it's ready to walk on and when you can park on it.

A standard double garage typically takes 2–3 days.

Epoxy flake vs polished or grind and seal garage floors

Not sure which way to go? Epoxy flake is a coating with colour and pattern. Polished concrete and grind and seal show off the natural concrete and stone. Both work well in a garage – we're happy to explain the pros and cons for your slab and budget. Read our blog: What's the Best Coating for a Garage Floor?

Care and maintenance

Sweep regularly and mop with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Clean up oil, fuel and chemical spills promptly. Use a mat or a sheet of plywood under jack stands and heavy, sharp items.
