The Right Choice Epoxy Flake Flooring Kit is a commercial grade, decorative epoxy flooring system. It consists of an epoxy base coat, coloured polymer flake chips and UV stable polyurethane top coats. All of the kits components have been specifically selected to complement each other to produce a high quality, seamless epoxy flooring system. The Right Choice Decorative Flake Flooring Kit forms a permanently bonded, resilient, seam-free, durable and attractive epoxy floor coating.
The Right Choice Flake Flooring Systems can be used in wide range of areas such as; garages, warehouses, washrooms, toilets and high traffic areas to name a few…
There is a large range of colours available to meet your requirements, please see below. Seamless epoxy flooring can be easily cleaned with mild detergents and are highly stain resistant floors.
Notes:
- If the concrete substrate is highly porous (water soaks in easily), then it is advised to 1st prime the concrete with Aqua Prime (not included).
- A Slip reducing additive may be applied in the Polyurethane top coat to help prevent unnecessary slips and falls.
- Clean-up for the Polyurethane top coat is with the Right Choice Solvent.
- It is also recommended to use Spike Shoes for walking in the wet epoxy to broadcast the flake chips without damaging the floor.
All of these products may be found by clicking on the product link or under the product heading “Preparation”
The kit contains enough product to complete 10m2:
- 1 x 5kg box of Epoxy Flake Chips
- 1 x 3.6ltr kit of Water Based Epoxy
- 1 x 4ltr kit of Polyurethane Coating
Please ensure to check the colour of the sealer prior to installation. Once the product has been applied, Right Choice can take no responsibility for any discrepancies in colour variations.
Coverage Rates
Approximate Coverage Rates:
- 10m² per ltr kit
Coverage rates will be determined by how porous the concrete is (how easily water soaks in). The easier and quicker that water soaks in, the more porous the concrete is and the more product you will use.
How To Calculate m²
- Length of Substrate x Width of Substrate = Total m²
- ie; 5mtr x 8mtr = 40m²

Surface Porosity
- Ensure the concrete has sufficient porosity for the sealer to penetrate.
- Dip a finger into a glass of water and apply 2-3 drops to the surface.
- Time the amount of time it takes for the water to soak into the concrete.
- For sufficient porosity to apply a sealer, this should be no longer than 90 seconds.
- Repeat the test over multiple sections of the concrete substrate.
- If under 90 seconds then the concrete has sufficient porosity for application of the sealer.
- If the water soaks in extremely fast (30 seconds or less), then it is advisable to apply Aqua Prime before an application of the base coat of epoxy.
- If longer than 90 seconds, then it may be necessary to either acid wash or diamond grind the concrete to open it up and create the required porosity.
Moisture
- The substrate must be dry and free from any rising moisture.
- Ideally use a concrete moisture meter to determine the moisture content. If this is not available, proceed using the method below.
- To test for moisture, cut a piece of thick black plastic into 1m².
- Ensure that it is free from any tears or pinholes (this would render the test useless).
- Attach the plastic to a section of the substrate (repeat in other areas) & duct tape the edges.
- It is important that the plastic is completely sealed around all edges and free from holes.
- After 24 hours, remove the plastic. If the concrete has darkened or there is condensation under the plastic, then the concrete is not sufficiently dry to apply a sealer or coating.
- If the substrate is not dry enough then either wait a few more days & repeat the test or it may be necessary to use a concrete moisture barrier. Contact Right Choice for advice.
Contamination
- All substrates must be clean and free of contamination i.e. oil, grease, bird droppings etc.
- Many of these contaminates are easily removed using the Right Choice Concrete Cleaner.
- In some cases it may be necessary to use a concrete grinder or a light acid wash.
- Basically, if water does not penetrate through the contamination then neither will a sealer or a coating.
Acid Etching
- If required, the concrete can be lightly acid etched prior to sealing. This will help to remove any contamination and create a more porous surface.
- Use extreme caution and safe handling methods when using hydrochloric acid.
- Dilute the hydrochloric acid with water at a rate of 10% (1 part acid to 10 parts water).
- Apply the diluted solution evenly to the surface using a watering can.
- Allow the acid to bubble on the concrete for up to 15 mins.
- Once the bubbling has ceased, thoroughly hose the surface off (abide by local laws for disposal).
- Neutralise the surface using the Right Choice Concrete Cleaner (highly alkaline). Allow the surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.

General Notes
- Ensure to read the all of the TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS, the PREPARATION GUIDE’S and the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS thoroughly first.
- It is recommended to do a test patch first to determine the suitability of the product.
- Do not apply when the ambient temperature is below 15c or above 28c.
- Do not apply in direct sunlight when the temperatures exceed 28c.
- The substrate must be cool to touch before applying any sealer or coating.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for coverage.
Application
- Mask up the surrounding skirting’s etc.
- Mix the Water Based Epoxy as per the mixing instruction on the Water Based Epoxy page.
- Roll apply the Water Based Epoxy using a 10mm nap roller cover ensuring even coverage of the entire substrate.
- Before the Water Based Epoxy begins to dry, walk back over the epoxy in spike shoes, broadcasting the Decorative Flake chips evenly & liberally into the epoxy ensuring that no bare patches are left.
- Allow the epoxy and flake to harden for 16‐20 hours.
- Sweep up any excess Decorative Flake and give the floor a very light hand sand or scrape to flatten any flake that is standing up. Sweep and vacuum thoroughly.
- Remove any tape from the skirting edge carefully.
- Ensure the floor is completely free from any loose flake etc and proceed with the first coat of Polyurethane.
- Pour the Polyurethane Coating directly onto the floor in ribbons or into a roller tray.
- Cut in the edges using a brush and roll apply the Polyurethane using a 10mm nap roller cover evenly at the approx rate of 6m² per ltr without leaving any puddles.
- Allow a minimum of 5-8 hours drying time between coats.
- When the first coat of polyurethane is completely dry proceed with subsequent coats, rolling at 45 deg. angles to the previous.
- Ensure adequate drying times between coats. (If more than 12 hours passes before re‐coating, ensure to sand the Polyurethane prior to applying another coat).
- The floor can be walked on after 24 hours and driven on after 14 days.

We’ve just finished our garage floor and it looks amazing. The tech guy at Right Choice answered all our questions and helped us a lot. I rang several times with more queries and he was very reassuring. It was great to know that tech support was only a phone call away. Highly recommend this product.

After extensive research for the ideal product l believe l have found the perfect product for textured floor finish.
With a little advise from the team it was a very easy process applying the product.
My garage floor looks amazing and have envious neighbours and friends admire the finish.
I would highly recomend the product to anyone, and if anyone in Melbourne is thinking of applying it and would like to see the finished product i’m happy to do so.
My only criticism is with the delivery company just leaving the product at the from door with no advise of the delivery being made.
MARLOWE ANGELES –
After showing 2 mates what my area looks like with the kit from supercheap/bunnings vs the area from right choice coatings hands down a lot better. Got great advice and the right product for my floor that would see high traffic, hot tyres, jack stands. You get 5kg of flake with their kit vs 500gram of flake from supercheap. You can actually get professional advice from right choice coatings.

Right Choice went above and beyond in helping me choose the right coatings for my garage floor. The flake floor kit was easy to instal and looks amazing. Thank you for your tips and tricks.
Samuel Wong –
Fantastic product and even better customer service. Not having done this sort of work before, I went into it pretty blindly but luckily with the guidance of the people there, the garage came up a treat!
John (verified owner) –
I purchased the Epoxy Flake Flooring Kit (x3) for my double garage, and was absolutely wrapped with the result. I did a great deal of research before deciding to purchase from Right Choice as they offered the best value for money kit. I received numerous quotes from “professionals” from $2500 to $3000 for my double garage, though for under $800 I have done as good of a job as any professional. Preparation is key and took my time following the instructions on the website. Highly recommend this to anyone considering epoxy flooring.
Rob Fisher –
I was a bit unsure if I could do this DIY, however after reading the instructions and a few emails back and forth, I now have a great looking garage floor at a fraction of the quotes I got. Thanks for all the help guys.
