Topcoat Flake Story

This well known fish shop had an old floor that was worn, and damaged after many years regular commercial use.


We surveyed the floor with the client checking for:
  • Condition of the substrate
  • Moisture content
  • Floor usage requirement

We recommended a floor finish to meet customer requirements. In this case our recommendation was for a decorative flake finish.


The Preparation involved:

  • Removing loose surface to provide sound surface key
  • Vacuum blasting
  • Surface grinding

Our next step involved priming the substrate with our Topcoat Primer to seal the surface and also to provide a good adhesive key for the Topcoat Floor System.

After the primer had cured overnight, Topcoat Epoxy Self Levelling Screed was applied using a notched trowel. The decorative flake was then applied. In this case the customer had chosen the Topcoat Tomato Red floor finish with flakes of white, which created a striking finish.

The resulting floor is smooth, very hard wearing and easily cleaned. The difference between the floor conditions before and after is remarkable as seen in the photos.
