Flake Systems

Designer resin floors area able to offer a number of different flake systems.

Flake systems comprise of either a self smoothing or roller coat resin, with PVA and/or metallic and pearlescent flake broadcast onto the "wet" resin during the resin application. Once cured this is then sealed with coats of clear sealer.

This creates the effect of a highly decorative yet slip resistant surface that is ideal for wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. The level of slip resistance can be changed by putting more or less sealer coats onto the flake. This means that you can have perfectly smooth areas in non-wet areas, and a higher slip resistance profile in wet area, without much difference in looks

Traditional Flake systems

Traditional flake systems are single are single or mixed colour blend flake finishes. Ideal for retail or domestic use, this system can be used throughout the project area to create a decorative floor coating, or in wet areas to create a slip resistant surface that complements the rest of the project.

Contemporary Flake System

Contemporary flake systems are mixed blends of vibrant coloured flake, glitter flake and/or pearlescent flake. This creates a fantastic decorative surface with slip resistant properties. Unlike traditional flake systems where the flakes are all approximately the same size and rough cut shape, contemporary flakes are available in a variety of sizes and geometric shapes.

The ability to add metallic, holographic and pearlescent flakes to make a dramatic counterpoint to the base colours makes this system ideal for high end retail stores and domestic properties that want to make a statement.

Glitter systems

Glitter systems are a self smoothing system with metallic or holographic glitter flake loosely broadcast onto the surface and then sealed with a gloss sealer. Unlike the traditional and contemporary flake systems which completely cover the surface, glitter systems show the base resin, retaining its smooth finish. Although due to the smoothness of this system caution must be used in areas that may become wet.

The glitter system is ideal in both retail and domestic situations.
