Resin flake flooring is a durable and visually appealing flooring system created by scattering coloured vinyl or acrylic flakes over a wet epoxy or polyurethane resin base coat. Once this base coat cures, a clear topcoat is applied to seal the flakes, resulting in a smooth, seamless, and aesthetically pleasing surface. The flakes are available in a wide array of colours, sizes, and shapes, allowing for highly customisable designs. In Tyne & Wear, resin flake flooring is a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties seeking a hard-wearing, visually interesting, and easily maintained floor with enhanced texture and slip resistance, suitable for various applications across the region.

Resin flake flooring is utilised in a diverse range of applications throughout Tyne & Wear, including garages, workshops, retail spaces, showrooms, schools, healthcare facilities, and even residential areas such as utility rooms and playrooms. The random distribution of the flakes creates a visually interesting and often textured surface that can effectively conceal minor imperfections in the underlying floor. The system is also highly customisable, allowing for the incorporation of specific colour schemes and branding elements relevant to businesses in the area. Furthermore, the seamless and non-porous nature of the finished floor makes it easy to clean and resistant to stains and spills, a practical benefit for both homes and commercial premises.
The suitability of resin flake flooring for these applications stems from its durability, aesthetic versatility, and ease of maintenance. The epoxy or polyurethane base provides a tough and resilient foundation that can withstand heavy foot traffic and impact commonly experienced in both commercial and busy residential settings in Tyne & Wear. The embedded flakes add visual interest and can also improve slip resistance, making it a safer option for areas prone to spills or moisture. The seamless topcoat seals the flakes, creating a hygienic surface that is easy to wipe clean and prevents the growth of bacteria and mould, a significant advantage for environments with hygiene considerations.
Compared to other flooring options available in Tyne & Wear, such as painted concrete, vinyl sheeting, or tiles, resin flake flooring offers a unique combination of durability, aesthetics, and practicality. Painted concrete can be susceptible to chipping and wear, while vinyl sheeting may lack the same level of visual appeal and long-term durability. Tiles have grout lines that can accumulate dirt and require regular cleaning. Resin flake flooring provides a hard-wearing, seamless surface with a wide range of decorative possibilities and enhanced safety features. The longevity, low maintenance requirements, and customisable appearance of resin flake flooring make it a cost-effective and attractive flooring solution for various properties across Tyne & Wear.
