Exact price after a site survey

A flake floor is made by broadcasting small coloured flakes (chips) into a fresh layer of epoxy. Once it has cured, the surface is sealed with clear epoxy, which gives a perfectly smooth, glossy finish.

Flakes in different colours and sizes do a fine job of hiding small bits of dirt, which makes this floor an ideal choice wherever hard work gets done. They also look livelier than a solid-colour floor.

Epoxy flake floors by EPOXIDOVO

An epoxy flake floor is a poured floor with coloured flakes broadcast into the resin while it is still wet. Once it has cured, the surface is sealed with a topcoat. The flakes disguise minor unevenness and dirt, and the surface is naturally anti-slip. Prices start at €44.90 per m² and the thickness is 2–4 mm.

Our build-up is precisely defined: Sikafloor-151 primer, a Sikafloor-264 Plus main layer, a decorative flake broadcast and two coats of Sikafloor-304W topcoat.

Who a flake floor is for

It most often goes into home and professional garages, workshops and hobby rooms, cellars and plant rooms. It’s also popular in commercial premises with heavy foot traffic, where the floor needs to look clean between one clean and the next.

Epoxy garage floor: why go for flakes

The Sikafloor-264 Plus main layer shrugs off tyres and a jack, and neither oil nor winter road salt soaks into it. The flakes add what a solid colour lacks: dust, grit and tyre marks don’t show up as much.

If you’re considering a metallic floor for the garage, it can be done, but it’s softer and tyres leave marks on it. For car workshops, tyre shops and workshops with heavier use we have a separate page on car workshop flooring.

How the installation works

After the site survey and substrate preparation comes the Sikafloor-151 primer. Twelve hours later the main layer is poured and the flakes are scattered into it while it’s still wet. Once it has cured, the surface is sealed with two coats of topcoat, each after a 24-hour interval.

You can walk on the finished floor after 36 hours. You can park the car in the garage after 7 days, once the floor takes full load.

How to choose the flake colour

We put the flake colour blend together to order. A more varied mix hides dirt better; a subtler one looks calmer.

Why a flake floor from EPOXIDOVO

A garage isn’t a living room, and the floor has to cope with that. So we don’t put down cheap garage floor paint; we pour a system with a main layer built for load. The site survey and the quote cost you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Is an epoxy flake floor slippery?

No, the flakes make the surface naturally anti-slip. For stairs and outdoor areas we still recommend an anti-slip finish.

Will a flake floor in a garage stand up to tyres and salt?

Yes. The Sikafloor-264 Plus main layer is abrasion-resistant, copes with tyres and a jack, and doesn’t absorb oil or winter road salt.

What is the build-up of a flake floor?

Sikafloor-151 primer, a Sikafloor-264 Plus main layer, a broadcast of flakes and two coats of Sikafloor-304W topcoat. The thickness is 2–4 mm.

Can a flake floor be laid outdoors too?

We don’t use epoxy outside — it would yellow in the sun. An outdoor garage or terrace with flakes is done in a UV-stable polyurethane system.

When can I park in the garage?

You can walk on it after 36 hours; full load, parking included, has to wait 7 days.

Is a flake floor suitable for a cellar too?

Yes, cellars and plant rooms are among the spaces we lay it in. Before pouring, though, we measure the moisture in the substrate at the site survey.

How do you clean a flake floor?

The surface has no joints and doesn’t absorb anything, so sweeping it and going over it with a damp mop and a pH-neutral cleaner is enough. Scouring pads and abrasive cleaners will scratch the topcoat.

How much does a flake floor cost?

From €44.90 per m². The final price is decided mostly by the state of the substrate in your garage, so we firm it up after a free site survey.
