Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most about epoxy flooring, metallic finishes, garage coatings, warehouse floors and commercial systems across Melbourne.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Melbourne?
Epoxy flooring in Melbourne typically ranges from $55–$85 per square metre for a standard system, with flake systems from $65–$85/m² and metallic finishes from $100–$150/m². Large commercial areas over 500m² attract volume pricing from $30/m². The final figure depends on floor size, concrete condition and the preparation required — which is why every quote follows a free on-site inspection.
How long does epoxy flooring last?
A professionally installed epoxy floor lasts 10–20 years depending on traffic, maintenance and the system installed. The single biggest factor is surface preparation: a floor that was properly diamond-ground will outlast an acid-etched or unprepared one many times over.
How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Melbourne?
Metallic epoxy generally costs between $100–$150 per square metre depending on floor preparation, design complexity and floor size.
What is the price of commercial epoxy flooring?
Commercial epoxy flooring usually ranges between $55–$85 per square metre depending on preparation work and coating type. Larger floor areas attract lower per-square-metre rates.
How much does industrial epoxy flooring cost?
Industrial epoxy flooring generally costs between $80–$120 per square metre depending on coating thickness, floor condition and industrial usage requirements.
What is the cost of flake epoxy flooring?
Flake epoxy flooring generally costs between $65–$85 per square metre depending on floor size and the flake style selected.
Is epoxy flooring slippery?
A smooth gloss epoxy can be slippery when wet, which is why we specify anti-slip aggregate or a flake system for garages, wet areas and commercial kitchens. Flake flooring in particular has slip resistance built into the texture of the floor rather than added as a coating that wears away.
How long before I can drive on my new epoxy floor?
You can usually walk on the floor after 24 hours and park a vehicle on it after 5–7 days. Full chemical cure takes around 7 days. We confirm exact timings at handover, because temperature and humidity both affect the cure.
Can epoxy flooring be installed over old concrete?
Yes. Old concrete is fine once it has been properly ground back, cracks have been repaired and moisture has been checked. Preparation is what makes it work — the age of the slab matters far less than its condition and how well it is prepared.
Do you remove old tiles before installing?
Yes. We provide professional tile removal across Melbourne, including grinding back adhesive residue, so the slab is clean, level and genuinely coating-ready.
Is epoxy flooring suitable for warehouses?
Yes. Epoxy is the standard choice for warehouses because it handles forklifts, pallet jacks, heavy traffic and machinery. We specify a heavy-duty build with anti-slip aggregate and a polyaspartic topcoat for these environments.
Can epoxy flooring handle heavy machinery?
Yes. Industrial epoxy systems are specifically designed to withstand forklifts, pallet jacks, heavy machinery and constant industrial traffic. The build thickness is specified to the actual load.
What are the benefits of garage epoxy flooring?
A garage epoxy floor protects the concrete from oil stains, tyre marks, moisture and dust, stops the slab shedding concrete dust, and gives you a modern surface you can sweep or mop in minutes.
Will hot tyres damage my epoxy floor?
Not with the right topcoat. Hot tyre pickup happens when a cheap sealer softens under a warm tyre and lifts. We finish garage floors with a polyaspartic topcoat specifically because it resists hot tyre pickup and UV yellowing.
Can epoxy flooring be repaired?
Yes. Chips, scratches and damaged sections can be ground back and re-coated. Because the repair keys into the existing system, a well-executed patch blends in — particularly on flake floors where the texture disguises the join.
Do you provide concrete resurfacing services?
Yes. We provide professional concrete resurfacing for damaged and uneven concrete, either as a finished result or as preparation before an epoxy flooring installation.
Do you provide concrete sealing services?
Yes. We apply concrete sealers to protect surfaces from stains, moisture and long-term damage, with matte, satin or enhanced-finish options.
Which Melbourne suburbs do you service?
We cover Melbourne broadly — north through Craigieburn, Mickleham, Kalkallo, Wallan and Kilmore; east through Doncaster, Box Hill and Glen Waverley; south east through Dandenong, Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham; and west through Melton, Caroline Springs, Tarneit, Point Cook and Werribee.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our installations carry a 5–10 year warranty depending on the system specified. Every job includes diamond grinding preparation and a polyaspartic topcoat as standard.
