Flake Flooring Mackay
At
Wix Painting Services, we work throughout
Mackay and surrounds, offering professional flake flooring. Try it out for a stylish and durable finish to your residential or commercial property.
Available in a wide range of blended flake colours, this decorative epoxy flooring option is fast becoming a popular alternative to plain concrete and tiled floors.
What Is Flake Flooring?
Flake flooring is a kind of epoxy resin flooring that is easy to clean and maintain but offers a huge variety in terms of design and appearance.
It consists of two distinct elements: an epoxy base coat, and decorative coloured flakes which can be added to the base coat to improve the look and aesthetics of the flooring. It is then sealed with UV stable sealants and a topcoat to keep it smooth and protected for many years.
Flake flooring and epoxy resin flooring offers a versatile and durable option, suitable for both residential properties and commercial sites; as such, it's quickly becoming one of the
most popular types of flooring across Australia in recent years.
At Wix Painting, we have years of experience applying seamless flake flooring in a range of settings, each time delivering top-quality results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is flake flooring made?
- Flake flooring consists of two elements: an epoxy base coat and decorative flakes.
- To make flake flooring, floors need to be prepared first by sanding and removing all dust particles. Then an epoxy primer and an epoxy grout are applied to the floor.
- Following this, the base coat, with the decorated flakes added, is applied using a roller. Finally, a topcoat and sealant are used to ensure the surface stays smooth and protected.
How much does flake flooring cost?
- The price of epoxy flake flooring will depend on several factors such as the type of epoxy used and the costs for labour.
- Generally, epoxy floors usually cost $30-$35 on average for every square metre for two coats. You’ll be pleased to know that here at WIX Painting Services, we offer flake flooring solutions at competitive prices.
How long does flake flooring take to dry?
- We recommend that you allow a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 48 hours between each coat.
- Even though the floor will be dry to the touch in a few hours, it takes some time to cure properly.
- Remember to keep the room well ventilated as this will help your flake flooring to dry quicker.
Does epoxy flooring scratch easily?
- Epoxy flooring is one of the hardest floors on the market. Although very rare, they can still scratch if a lot of force is applied.
- This usually doesn't happen in residential settings though!
- If you have any concerns, please discuss with us prior to purchasing!
Is flake flooring durable?
- Flake flooring is incredibly durable, making it a great fit for both residential and commercial properties.
- You can use it in places like garages, gyms, showrooms, kitchens, and basements, but thanks to its durable nature, the applications are endless.
Is flake flooring waterproof or water resistant?
- Flake flooring offers a shield against water, and the coating products protect it from damage that comes from spills.
- Some flake flooring coating is even formulated to have anti-skid properties for added safety.
- Please reach out to us if you are concerned about waterproofing or water resistance!
How long does an epoxy floor smell last?
- While the smell of epoxy flooring can be very strong, if you keep the room well ventilated, the smell should only last approximately one to three days.
- It's worth noting that the intensity of the smell depends on the amount and type of product used. But rest assured, the smell will dissipate entirely.
How do I clean my epoxy flooring?
- Use a hose to spray all your floors with hot water, then dry using a squeegee.
- For routine maintenance, however, you simply need to use a dust mop to get rid of any debris and dust.
How do you maintain an epoxy floor?
- Epoxy flooring shines incredibly when new, but can become slightly foggy over time due to vehicles and machines.
- So, you should try and clean your epoxy floor at least once a year to make it look as good as new.
