Where Metallic and Epoxy Flake Floorings Work Best

Metallic epoxy and epoxy flake floors are ideal options for homeowners and businesses seeking a more stylish, eye-catching coating. These finishes add depth, color, and texture to your space while providing the durability and low-maintenance benefits that standard epoxy floors are known for. These are especially good if you're looking to highlight a feature area in your home or you want to give your customers a cleaner, more welcoming first impression in your storefront. These decorative epoxy coats do the spotlighting without any additional upkeep. Here are some common areas that we recommend our clients consider a metallic or epoxy flake floor in:

Garages – for a modern, cleaner finish
Patios and outdoor living areas – add texture and grip
Kitchens and living spaces – polished, decorative look
Shops and showrooms – bold, eye-catching surfaces
Offices and reception areas – neat, welcoming, and low-maintenance

Why Call A Professional Instead of DIY

Decorative epoxy floors need proper surface preparation and a steady, experienced contractor to apply and coat your floor. There are more steps in the application process than with standard epoxy floor coats, and they feature artistic elements that require a professional. If you want a decorative finish with a smooth, consistent final outcome, it's best to bring in a contractor who knows how to handle these designs. Getting it wrong can leave your surface in an undesired state - patchy, uneven, or even discoloured.

There are varying differences in applying decorative finishes. Metallic epoxy, for example, requires a proper pouring technique, with artistic waves and paint placement. This creates a flowing, layered look without any blotches or sudden, harsh lines. Epoxy flake floors rely on an even spread and a clean seal so their chips bond properly and don't peel later. If your concrete has cracks or surface damage, our team at Ballarat Epoxy Flooring will repair it first so the decorative finish goes nicely on and you get a smooth floor that lasts. These coatings are a pain to fix once they've cured, so ensure that you get them done properly with an experienced contractor from the start.

Our Epoxy Application Process

Imagine your entire living room transformed with decorative epoxy finishes that enhance your space - all done in a few days. That's the sort of result we bring into your homes and businesses across Ballarat, VIC. Getting decorative epoxy flooring is much easier when you already know the steps, and we make sure everything is explained clearly and concisely so you know exactly where our contractors are taking things. We keep the process straightforward. We talk to you through each stage and make sure you're entirely comfortable before any work begins.

Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your current floor - usually concrete, but even wood and tiles are acceptable. We look to see if any repairs or leveling are needed. If your concrete slabs are in good shape, we soak them and scrub them clean to remove any dirt and debris. This prepares the floor so the epoxy can thoroughly coat and grip your appropriately prepared surface, allowing for firm bonds.

Gather all necessary materials, including the epoxy kit, a brush, a roller, and any additives or flakes for the epoxy. We start mixing the epoxy - the resin and hardener. These are usually mixed at a 2:1 ratio. Then, we have to prepare to apply the epoxy, as leaving it out for too long will harden the epoxy.

Once the epoxy has been mixed for 2-3 minutes, we immediately start applying the epoxy. Depending on the epoxy's "pot time", the epoxy can harden within 15 to 90 minutes after it has been mixed with the hardener. We pour your epoxy in parts, then start brushing it along the edges and corners of your floor. We back-roll the coating over your concrete to smooth it out and clear any air bubbles after. This prevents lifting and ensures an even and level finish. If you've chosen a flake addition, we broadcast the flakes over the wet epoxy coating on the floor.

If the floor needs extra strength or depth, we apply a second coat once the first layer has dried to the touch. For metallic epoxy, multiple colours may be poured and blended depending on the look you want. After coating, the floor is left to cure fully. Drying times vary, but most floors need a few days before they’re ready for regular use. We usually leave it for a week before regular use.
