Flake Epoxy Garage Floors — Colours, Finishes and What to Expect
Flake floors hide dust and imperfections, add grip and look sharp for a decade. Here's how they're built and what to choose.
How a flake floor is built
After grinding and priming, a pigmented epoxy base coat goes down and vinyl flake is broadcast into it to rejection. Once cured, the excess is scraped and vacuumed back, then two clear coats lock the flake in and level the surface.
Choosing a blend
Flake size and colour change how the floor reads.
- Full broadcast, coarse flake: hides everything, most textured underfoot
- Partial broadcast: shows base colour through, softer speckle
- Neutral greys and blacks: best for garages and workshops
- Sand and earth blends: warmer, suits alfresco and entertaining spaces
Grip, cleaning and cure times
Flake creates natural texture; we can dial grip further with an aluminium-oxide additive in the topcoat. Light foot traffic is usually fine after 24 hours, vehicles after 5–7 days. Cleaning is a soft broom and a mop — no sealing, no polishing.
Lifespan on the coast
Indoors, expect 10–15 years from a properly prepped flake system. Under direct sun, specify a UV-stable topcoat or the clear coat will amber and dull.

Flake epoxy garage floor — frequently asked questions
- How much does a garage floor coating cost in Tweed Heads?
- A standard double garage in Tweed Heads typically costs $2,500–$4,500 for a ground, primed and flake-finished floor with a clear topcoat. Single garages start lower; damaged or oil-stained slabs need extra prep.
- Is a garage floor coating better than garage floor paint?
- Yes. Hardware-store garage floor paint sits on the surface and lifts with hot tyres. A ground-and-primed epoxy or polyaspartic coating bonds into the slab and handles tyre pickup, oil and hot-wash.
- How long does the job take?
- Most Tweed Heads garages are finished in two days — grind and prime on day one, colour flake and topcoat on day two — with the car back in after about five days.
- Are you licensed and insured to work in Tweed Heads?
- Yes. Munn & Co. Finishes holds an NSW painting licence and a QLD QBCC licence, and we carry full public liability insurance. Licence and insurance details are supplied in writing with every Tweed Heads quote.
