Epoxy Flake Systems are the most recommended flooring for showrooms and retail spaces as proven through the vast advantages that accompany this floor coating application. This method of epoxy flooring is made by broadcasting small chips or flakes of colored vinyl or acrylic onto a base coat of epoxy. The flakes are then sealed with a clear topcoat of epoxy to create a durable and attractive surface.
Flake epoxy flooring is a great option for retail spaces as it provides a unique and textured look that can hide imperfections, scratches and stains. The flakes come in a variety of colors and sizes, allowing you to create a custom look that complements your brand and product offerings.
Flake epoxy floors are also naturally slip-resistant, making it a safe option for high-traffic areas. It’s easy to clean and maintain, and the surface can be customized with logos or graphics to create a branded look personalised to you. Additional anti-slip media can be added if a higher slip rating is required.
When choosing a flake epoxy coating, consider the size and color of the flakes, as well as the overall aesthetic of your brand. It’s best to speak with a professional flooring contractor who can help you choose the right combination of colors and flakes to achieve the look you want for your showroom or retail space.

Fill in all your cracks using a 2-pack epoxy filler and wait until the patching mortar is fully cured before grinding or coating the floor, this process usually takes a minimum of 6 – 8 hours.
For larger cracks and spalls: SIC Epoxy Coving & Repair Kit | Sika Sikadur 31 CFN
For smaller patching and cracks: Sika Sikadur 33 | Sikadur 513 (magic powder mixed into epoxy to thicken up)
General curing time (at 20°C) is a minimum of 8 hours. This can vary further if solvent has been added to the epoxy.
Sika Australia: Sikafloor 160 (up to 40sqm) | Sikafloor 94 (recommended) | Sikafloor 158W (moisture barrier)

This is an important step for if the coating is left uneven, this will show though your final coat. If this step if not completed within 30 – 36 hours (depending on temperature) of applying the previous coat, the floor will need to be scratched using an 80 grit sand paper.
We recommend always having a minimum of two people when completing an epoxy floor, this is to ensure the product does not begin to cure before you have finished. If there is no one to help, we would suggest applying in sections based on works time and pot life of product being used.

100% Solids Epoxies: Sikafloor 264 | Elite Crete Systems PT4 (pretinted)
This coat is ONLY to be completed with a product that is crystal clear, self levelling 100% solids epoxy. We recommend having one person mix and prepare the product whilst the other, let us call them the artist, applies and creates the design. As this coat is completed with a high body epoxy resin, a key note to remember is that the resin and design will look different as the curing process is occurring, applying a “less is more” technique can be beneficial. Wearing spike shoes to walk over the epoxy is essential with marble epoxy flooring, however you must apply safety practices and be cautious of injury.

DO NOT use thinners in the final coat. It is always recommended to back roll the product against the natural light to assist with achieving a more uniform finish.
