Dulux Avista Floor Flakes 5KG — Decorative Flake System for Epoxy & Urethane Floors

The Dulux Avista Floor Flakes are decorative vinyl flakes designed to be broadcast into wet epoxy or urethane floor coatings to create a stunning, multi-tonal decorative finish. These 5-kilogram bags of flakes transform a plain coated floor into a professional, showroom-quality surface that hides substrate imperfections, adds slip resistance, and creates visual depth — popular in garages, showrooms, retail spaces, and contemporary residential interiors.

Available in a range of colour blends to suit different design aesthetics, the flakes are UV-stable, chemically resistant, and lock permanently into the coating as it cures. A clear topcoat of urethane or polyaspartic sealer is then applied to encapsulate the flakes and provide a smooth, durable, easy-to-clean finish.

Key Features

• Decorative Multi-Tonal Finish: Creates a professional, textured appearance that hides concrete imperfections and adds visual interest.
• Broadcast Application: Simply scatter onto the wet coating — no mixing or measuring required.
• UV & Chemical Resistant: Flakes will not fade, discolour, or degrade within the coating system.
• Adds Subtle Texture: Contributes to slip resistance when encapsulated within the clear topcoat.
• 5KG Coverage: Sufficient for medium to heavy flake broadcast across a standard residential garage or commercial area.

Application

Apply the epoxy or urethane base coat. Whilst it is still wet, broadcast the flakes evenly by hand across the surface. Allow the coating to cure, then sweep or vacuum away loose flakes. Apply a clear topcoat (such as Dulux Avista 2 Pack Urethane or Polyaspartic Sealer) to encapsulate the flakes and provide a smooth, durable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Floor Flakes and Natural Stone Flakes?

Floor Flakes are manufactured vinyl flakes available in curated colour blends — they provide a consistent, contemporary look popular in modern garages and retail spaces. Natural Stone Flakes are genuine crushed stone in natural colour tones — they provide a more organic, earthy aesthetic.

2. How much coverage do I get from a 5KG bag?

Coverage depends on the desired flake density. For a light broadcast (subtle effect, mostly base colour visible): up to 20–30 m². For a medium broadcast (balanced effect): 10–15 m². For a full broadcast (flakes completely cover the base): 5–8 m². Purchase additional bags for full-broadcast large areas.

3. Do I need a clear topcoat over the flakes?

Yes. The flakes themselves are not a wearing surface — they must be encapsulated with a clear topcoat of urethane or polyaspartic sealer to lock them in place, provide a smooth surface, and ensure durability and cleanability.

4. Can I use these flakes outdoors?

Yes, provided they are encapsulated within a UV-stable clear topcoat such as the Dulux Avista 2 Pack Urethane or Polyaspartic Sealer. The flakes themselves are UV-resistant, but the overall system must be exterior-rated.

5. What colour blends are available?

Colour blends vary — common options include black/white/grey blends, blue/grey blends, and earthy/terracotta blends. Contact Singh Roofing Supplies for current colour availability and samples.
