Floor Finishes and Colours

Concrete and Epoxy Floor Finishes and Colour Options

Explore epoxy floor colours, decorative flake finishes and concrete flooring options for residential and commercial spaces.

Understanding Your Floor Finish Options

Choosing the right floor finish comes down to how the space is used, the look you want, and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with.

This page outlines the most common epoxy flooring colours, flake systems, and concrete floor finishes used across Adelaide homes and commercial spaces, so you can compare options and choose what works best for your project.

If you’re looking for installation rather than just exploring finishes, you can view our epoxy flooring, polished concrete, and honed concrete service pages to learn more about each option and request a quote.

Epoxy Flake Floors

Epoxy flake floors are a popular choice for garages and commercial spaces. Coloured flakes are added into the coating to create a textured, multi-toned finish that combines durability with visual appeal. They are commonly used in garages, workshops, showrooms and commercial spaces where both durability and appearance matter.

Why choose epoxy flake flooring

Durable surface suited to high traffic areas
Slip resistant texture
Decorative finish with colour variation
Helps hide dust, dirt and minor wear

Hyperflake Decorative Flake Colours

We commonly use Hyper Flake decorative systems, which offer a wide range of colour blends suited to both residential and commercial spaces. Common colours include light grey blends, mid greys, and charcoal tones, which are often chosen for their ability to hide dust and wear in garage and workshop environments.

The available colour options can be viewed in the Hyper Flake colour chart below.

Ultraflake Decorative Flake Colours

Ultraflake is another decorative flake option for epoxy flooring. While it is used less often, it can be suitable where a different colour blend or finish is preferred. See the available ultraflake finish options that can be provided by Vision Grind and Polish.

Solid Colour Epoxy Floors

Solid colour epoxy flooring provides a clean, uniform finish without the texture of a flake system. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial spaces where durability and ease of maintenance are important, including warehouses, factories, workshops, and other service areas.

Common colour options include light grey, mid grey, charcoal, white, black, and safety colours such as yellow and red.

Why choose solid colour epoxy:

Clean and consistent appearance
Easy to maintain
Suitable for high-use environments

Polished Concrete Finishes

Polished concrete is designed to enhance the natural look of the concrete slab. The surface is ground and polished to create a smooth and durable finish with varying levels of sheen and aggregate exposure.

It is commonly used in residential living spaces, retail environments, commercial buildings, showrooms, and hospitality venues where a modern, seamless finish is desired.

Why choose polished concrete:

Modern and seamless look
Low maintenance surface
Long lasting finish

Honed Concrete Finishes

Honed concrete uses a similar process to polished concrete but results in a lower sheen finish with improved slip resistance. It is typically used in outdoor or wet areas where safety and durability are important.

It is commonly used for outdoor entertaining areas, patios, pool surrounds, pathways, and other external concrete areas exposed to weather and moisture.

Why choose honed concrete:

Suitable for outdoor areas
Improved slip resistance
Natural concrete appearance

Which Finish Is Right for Your Space?

Different flooring options suit different environments. Here’s a simple way to narrow down your options:

Garages and workshops – Epoxy flake flooring is a popular choice for durability, slip resistance, and low maintenance
Commercial and industrial spaces – Solid colour epoxy provides a clean, hard-wearing surface suited to heavy use
Design-focused interiors – Polished concrete or metallic epoxy creates a more refined, feature finish
Outdoor areas and wet zones – Honed concrete offers better slip resistance and performs well in exposed conditions

Choosing the Right Floor Finish

The right flooring option will depend on how your space is used, how much traffic it gets, and the overall look you want to achieve.

While some projects suit decorative epoxy flake finishes, others benefit from the clean, uniform look of solid colour epoxy. In residential or design-focused spaces, polished or honed concrete may be preferred to highlight the natural surface.

When narrowing down your options, it helps to consider:

The type of space and how it will be used
The level of traffic the floor will receive
Cleaning and maintenance requirements
The appearance you want to achieve
