Flake Epoxy Garage Case Study in Penrith
A triple garage in Penrith had an old oil-contaminated painted surface with poor adhesion profile. The existing paint was lifting in areas and had not been properly prepared at original installation. We removed the failed paint, tested the slab, primed clean concrete, broadcast the flake blend, and sealed the floor for workshop and vehicle traffic.

Pricing and project context
This 70–90 sqm flake epoxy garage and workshop flooring project shows how preparation, repairs, selected finish, access, and handover timing shape a written scope. Removing the poorly bonded coating was non-negotiable because new epoxy would only be as strong as the weakest paint layer underneath.
FAQs
How much does flake flooring cost in Sydney?
Flake flooring in Sydney costs $50 to $90 per square metre installed. Pricing depends on the level of broadcast (partial vs full flake coverage), flake blend, topcoat selection (polyurethane vs polyaspartic), and the condition of the existing concrete.
How durable is flake flooring?
Professionally installed flake flooring systems are extremely durable and withstand vehicle traffic, chemical spills, and heavy use for 15 to 20 years. Lifespan depends on substrate preparation, topcoat selection, and traffic conditions.
How long does a flake floor take to install in a Sydney garage?
A standard double garage (40 to 60sqm) typically takes 2 to 3 days. Day 1 is diamond grinding and crack repair, day 2 is base coat and full flake broadcast, and day 3 is scraping and applying the clear topcoat. Walkable in 24 hours, full vehicle use at 72 hours.
