Flake epoxy flooring is the go-to upgrade when you want a tougher, cleaner surface than paint or bare concrete, with a slip-resistant texture and a finished look. Elite Epoxy Melbourne has served Melbourne since 2018, installing and repairing full-flake broadcast systems for garages, shops, patios, and commercial floors.
Prep is the job. We start by testing concrete for moisture vapor (ASTM F2170 relative humidity or calcium chloride where needed), checking for contamination, and mapping cracks, spalls, and control joints. Surfaces are diamond-ground with HEPA dust control to open the concrete profile (CSP 2-3 for most flake epoxy flooring systems), then we repair with epoxy crack filler or polyurea where appropriate, and clean to a dust-free substrate. After that we install the base coat, typically a 100% solids epoxy for build and bond, tinted to match your flake blend and applied by gauge rake and back-roll for even film thickness.
Florida humidity, salt air, and hot tires can punish coatings, so we build systems to fit the space and the exposure. Full-broadcast vinyl color flakes are cast to rejection for uniform coverage, then scraped and vacuumed so the surface is flat and ready to lock in. For the finish coat, we recommend polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane topcoats for UV stability and abrasion resistance, with optional anti-slip aluminum oxide or polymer grit for safer traction when wet. We also detail terminations at thresholds, stem walls, drains, and saw-cut control joints so the floor looks clean and moves without random cracking telegraphing through.
Melbourne customers choose us because we do the unglamorous steps that make flake epoxy flooring last: real surface prep, correct coating thickness, and clean edging, not a quick roll-on kit. You get a licensed and insured contractor that shows up on schedule, protects walls and door tracks, and keeps dust controlled with shrouded grinders and HEPA vacs. We work on new installs and repairs, including peeling areas, tire-pickup, moisture blisters, and worn topcoats, then blend flakes and re-topcoat so patched zones do not stand out.
Before we call it complete, we do a walkthrough with you and verify coverage, texture, and gloss level, then check that doors and transitions operate smoothly. You receive a written scope, product system notes (base, flake load, topcoat type), care instructions, and cure-time guidance for foot traffic, vehicles, and heavy equipment. If your floor needs repair work first, we document cracks, spalls, and moisture findings and explain which fixes are structural versus cosmetic. The result is a flake epoxy flooring system that cleans easily, brightens the space, and holds up to daily use.
Sometimes, but only if the existing coating is sound and compatible. We typically test adhesion and, in many cases, grind off paint or failing coatings to get back to clean concrete so the new system can bond correctly.
We evaluate for moisture risk and recommend the right approach, which may include moisture-mitigating epoxy primers or, if conditions are too risky, delaying or choosing a different solution. The goal is to avoid bubbling, whitening, and delamination.
We install solid-color epoxy, full-flake in many blends, quartz systems for texture, and metallic epoxy for a decorative, marbled look. Topcoats can be gloss, satin, or matte depending on product selection and performance needs.
With proper prep and the right build, epoxy systems stand up well to tires, jacks, and typical automotive fluids. We can add a tougher urethane or polyaspartic clear coat for better abrasion resistance and chemical resistance.
Yes, we handle commercial and light industrial floors and can plan work in phases or off-hours to reduce downtime. The estimate will outline curing windows and traffic restrictions so operations stay predictable.
Flake epoxy flooring is a broadcast epoxy system designed to protect concrete while upgrading appearance and traction. For garages, commercial bays, patios, and back-of-house spaces, the system is built in layers: mechanically prepared concrete, a high-bond epoxy base coat, full-broadcast vinyl flakes, then a clear protective topcoat such as polyaspartic or urethane. Elite Epoxy Melbourne installs new flake floors and fixes failed coatings, from peeling edges and hot-tire pickup to worn, chalky topcoats.
A reliable flake epoxy flooring install starts with concrete evaluation. We check for moisture vapor transmission, previous sealers, oil contamination, and weak laitance, then mechanically profile the slab with diamond tooling instead of acid etching. Cracks and spalls are routed and filled with epoxy or polyurea repair materials, and control joints are treated intentionally so movement does not ruin the finish. Once the surface is properly prepped, the epoxy base is applied at the right film build and back-rolled for consistent coverage before flakes are broadcast.
For finishes, we match the topcoat to the exposure. Polyaspartic and aliphatic urethane clear coats resist UV yellowing better than basic epoxies, making them a strong choice where sunlight reaches the floor. Additives like aluminum oxide can increase slip resistance for wet entries, pool-adjacent slabs, or service areas. If you already have a flake floor, we can repair damaged sections, feather transitions, and re-topcoat the entire surface to restore gloss and seal the flakes.
If you want a floor that looks finished and performs like a coating system, not paint, flake epoxy flooring is a smart investment. Request a free written estimate and we will recommend a system based on your concrete condition, traffic level, and desired texture and sheen.
