Flake Coat
Experience. Quality. Reliability!
All concrete surfaces in or around your home can be transformed within days to look like new, with Proflek's seamless epoxy floor coating system. Old concrete surfaces can be given a new lease of life. Driveways, pool areas and paths around your home are diamond ground to prepare the surface for the epoxy finish.

You can decide if you want your concrete plain or with our flakes added. Flake finishes will add that extra sparkle and hide dirt.
Our range of colours and combinations mean you can select a unique finish. New concrete paths and floors are similarly processed.
Apples are not always apples!
In recent times Epoxy Systems have been compared to Polyaspartic Polyurea Systems.
Polyurea Systems may be applied quicker than an Epoxy System but there is no comparison in the finished product. The quick cure products cure so quickly that in our opinion they don't penetrate as deep into the substrate as an epoxy that cures more slowly does.
Some advantages of Epoxy are better adhesion, higher scuff / chemical resistance and better longevity of the coating. Polyurea base coats typically are applied at 130-150 micron, our epoxy typically is applied at 300 micron per coat meaning more product on the floor giving longevity to the coating.
Polyaspartic Polyurea is at this stage unproven over time in Australian conditions whereas Epoxy systems have been proven over decades of applications and use. Epoxy systems have been used successfully for many years on floors such as trucking facilities, airplane hangers, commercial kitchens and residential applications.
Don’t be fooled by the quick installation, a good long lasting floor takes time to install.
If you would like to compare the finished coatings please contact us and we can arrange a time for you to view samples of both products.
