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 or colour plays a big role in both the look and performance of your floor. Different systems suit different environments, depending on how the space will be used.

Epoxy flooring offers a wide range of colour options, from decorative flake finishes through to clean, solid colour coatings. Concrete finishes such as polished and honed concrete focus more on the natural surface, with variations in aggregate exposure and sheen.

The sections below outline the most common options to help you compare finishes and choose what best suits your project.

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-coloured finish.

This creates a durable floor with some visual depth. The flakes also help hide small marks and make the surface easier to keep clean over time.

Epoxy flake flooring is 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 flakes, which offer a wide range of colour blends for both residential and commercial flooring.

These systems are designed to provide consistent colour and long lasting performance. They are often used in garages, workshops, retail spaces and other high-traffic areas.

Most popular garage and workshop flooring colours
  • Light grey blends
  • Mid grey and neutral tones
  • Charcoal and darker finishes

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

In some spaces, a clean and consistent floor colour is preferred instead of a flake finish. Solid colour epoxy flooring is commonly used in industrial and commercial environments where durability and easy maintenance are important.

These floors are often installed in:

  • Warehouses
  • Factories
  • Workshops
  • Commercial premises
  • Utility and service areas

Solid epoxy floors provide a practical surface that is easy to clean and suited to regular use from vehicles and equipment.

Why choose solid colour epoxy
  • Clean and uniform finish
  • Easy to maintain
  • Suitable for high use commercial environments
Common solid colour options
  • Light grey
  • Mid grey
  • Charcoal
  • White
  • Black
  • Safety yellow and red

Solid colour epoxy floors are available in a wide range of colours, including standard options used across commercial and industrial spaces.

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 different levels of shine.

The process can expose more or less of the natural stone within the concrete, depending on the look you want to achieve.

Polished concrete is commonly used in:

  • Residential living spaces
  • Retail environments
  • Commercial buildings
  • Showrooms
  • Hospitality venues 

These floors provide a durable low maintenance surface that highlights the natural character of the concrete.
 

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 shine finish. It is typically used in outdoor or wet areas where slip resistance is important.

This makes it a good option for external spaces that need to handle weather and moisture.

Honed concrete is often used for:

  • Outdoor entertaining areas
  • Patios and alfresco spaces 
  • Pool surrounds
  • Pathways and external concrete areas 

Like polished concrete, the level of stone exposure can vary depending on the desired finish.

Why choose honed concrete
  • Suitable for outdoor areas
  • Improved slip resistance
  • Natural concrete appearance

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.

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

When choosing a finish, 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 

If you are unsure which option is best, we can help guide you and recommend a flooring system that suits your project.
