Choosing the right finish for your epoxy floor isn't just about looks — different systems suit different environments, budgets, and aesthetic preferences. Here's a complete comparison of the three Rhino Coating epoxy flooring systems to help you decide.
The HB-200 is our solid colour epoxy system — clean, seamless, and professional. It's applied in a single solid colour of your choice and finished with a UV-stable top coat. The result is a smooth, glossy, uniform surface that looks modern and understated.
Best for: Garages where you want a clean, functional finish without decorative elements. Workshops and commercial spaces where a professional, no-nonsense appearance is preferred. Budget-conscious projects that still demand professional-grade durability.
Colour options: Choose from a range of solid colours including light grey, mid grey, dark grey, beige, and more. The solid colour creates a bright, clean surface that reflects light well — excellent for making garages feel larger and brighter.
Key benefits: Excellent light reflection (brightens the space), easy to keep clean (smooth surface sweeps and mops easily), classic, timeless appearance that won't date. The most affordable of our three systems while still using industrial-grade materials.
The FB-400 is our most popular system — and it's easy to see why. Coloured vinyl flakes are broadcast (scattered) into wet epoxy, creating a multi-colour, textured finish that's both decorative and practical. The flakes are then sealed with a clear top coat for a smooth, glossy surface.
Best for: Homeowners who want their garage to look as good as the rest of the house. Show garages where appearance matters as much as durability. Commercial spaces like car showrooms, retail units, or hospitality venues where a premium aesthetic is important.
Colour and flake options: Flake blends are available in numerous colour combinations — from subtle grey, white and black blends to bold blues, reds, and custom colour mixes. The flake finish hides minor imperfections in the concrete and disguises dust and tyre marks better than a solid colour.
Key benefits: Premium, decorative appearance. Hides minor surface imperfections and dust. Excellent slip resistance (the flake texture provides natural grip). The most popular choice for residential garages and showrooms.
The M-Flow is our premium designer system. Multiple colours of epoxy are poured and manipulated on the floor to create flowing, marble-like patterns. Each floor is completely unique — no two M-Flow installations look the same. The result is a stunning, high-end finish that transforms the space.
Best for: Luxury residential garages and showrooms. High-end retail and hospitality spaces. Anywhere you want the floor to be a genuine feature, not just a surface. Clients who want something truly bespoke and one-of-a-kind.
Colour options: You choose the colour palette — from classic white and grey marble effects to dramatic dark tones with metallic accents. The colours are swirled and blended during installation by our experienced installers to create natural-looking patterns.
Key benefits: Genuinely unique — no two floors are the same. Stunning, high-end appearance that transforms any space. Excellent at hiding dirt and marks (the natural pattern disguises imperfections). The premium choice for those who want the very best.
| Feature | HB-200 | FB-400 | M-Flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Solid colour | Flake finish | Marble effect |
| Uniqueness | Uniform | Consistent pattern | One-of-a-kind |

| Slip resistance | Good | Excellent | Good |
| Best for | Workshops, functional garages | Residential garages, showrooms | Luxury garages, high-end spaces |
The right choice depends on your priorities. If you want a functional, clean garage floor at the most accessible price point, the HB-200 is your system. If you want the premium look that most people associate with a "show garage" and excellent practicality, the FB-400 is the most popular choice for good reason. If you're looking for something truly exceptional — a floor that's as much a feature as any car or display — the M-Flow delivers a genuinely unique result.
All three systems use the same industrial-grade preparation process, epoxy base, and UV-stable top coat. The difference is in the decorative layer. Whichever you choose, you're getting a floor built to last decades. Request a free quote or call 07822 032335 to discuss your project and see samples.
