At Shier Coatings Ltd, we install professional epoxy resin flake flooring systems for commercial and industrial environments across South Wales and throughout the UK.
Epoxy flake flooring combines the durability and performance of industrial resin flooring with an attractive decorative finish. The result is a seamless, hard-wearing surface that performs well in busy operational environments while also enhancing the overall appearance of the space.
These flooring systems are ideal for businesses that require both strength and visual appeal, making them particularly popular in automotive facilities, commercial units and customer-facing environments where presentation is just as important as performance. As well as providing a visually appealing finish, epoxy flake floors also offer improved slip resistance and long-term protection for concrete substrates.
Because of their versatility, epoxy flake systems are often used as part of refurbishment projects to transform tired or damaged concrete floors into durable, modern and easy-to-maintain surfaces.
What Is an Epoxy Resin Flake System?
An epoxy resin flake system is created by applying a resin base coat to a properly prepared concrete surface, followed by the broadcast application of decorative vinyl flakes across the wet coating. These flakes create both the colour and the textured finish of the floor.
Once the flakes have been applied, the floor is sealed with a durable protective topcoat which locks the flakes into place and provides a smooth, seamless surface.
This process creates a textured, visually appealing flooring system that offers both decorative qualities and industrial performance.
The finished floor offers:
