Epoxy Flooring Perth
Epoxy flooring is a seamless, durable surface that enhances concrete with a sleek finish. It’s ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, including garages, workshops, showrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas like patios or driveways. Epoxy is applied as a resin that cures to form a strong, non-porous coating, protecting the concrete beneath.
Why Use Epoxy Flooring?
Benefits include chemical resistance, easy cleaning, and long-term wear resistance. UV-stable topcoats make it suitable for outdoor use, and anti-slip finishes improve safety in wet or high-use areas. Epoxy is also a great way to resurface worn concrete without demolition.
Customisation Options for Epoxy Floors
Epoxy floors can be tailored to suit your needs and style:
- Colours and Finishes: Choose solid colours, flake blends, or metallic designs with gloss, satin, or matte finishes.
- Resin Types: Epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic systems are available depending on usage, UV exposure, and drying time requirements.
- Topcoats: Durable, UV-resistant coatings help maintain colour and finish. Additional layers can be added for increased strength.
- Slip Resistance: Anti-slip grit can be added for safety in wet or high-traffic areas.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use in garages, kitchens, warehouses, driveways, patios, and more.
Benefits of Maintaining Your Epoxy Floor
With basic care, epoxy floors maintain their performance and appearance for many years:
- Low Maintenance: A smooth, sealed surface means easy sweeping and mopping.
- Chemical Resistance: Resists oil, grease, solvents, and food spills.
- Durability: Withstands heavy traffic, impact, and hot tyres without cracking or peeling.
- Hygienic: Seamless and non-porous, ideal for healthcare, kitchens, and clean zones.
- Lasting Appearance: Colours and finishes stay sharp; recoating every few years can refresh the look.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does epoxy relate to polished concrete?
Epoxy is a resin coating applied on top of concrete. Polished concrete involves grinding the slab itself. Epoxy provides added protection, colour options, and chemical resistance.
How long does installation take?
Most jobs take 2–3 days, depending on the area size and the condition of the concrete. Fast-cure systems are available for quicker turnaround.
Can epoxy be used outdoors?
Yes, with the right UV-stable topcoats and moisture-tolerant primers, it performs well on patios, driveways, and outdoor walkways.
Can it be installed over old concrete?
Yes, as long as the concrete is sound. We repair and prepare the surface before applying the coating.
What styles are available?
Solid colours, flake flooring, and metallic finishes are all available in a variety of blends.
How do I maintain it?
Sweep regularly and mop with a neutral cleaner as needed. No waxing or polishing required.
Will it hold up to hot tyres or heavy loads?
Yes. Epoxy flooring is built to withstand heat, pressure, and heavy use in garages and industrial areas.
