Premium Epoxy & Flake Flooring for Any Concrete Area

What is Epoxy Flooring & Where Can It Be Used?

Flake epoxy flooring is a high-performance, multi-layer seamless coating system designed to protect and transform virtually any concrete substrate. Engineered for extreme durability, easy maintenance, and high resistance to wear, it is an ideal solution across outdoor spaces, indoor residential remodels, and heavy-duty commercial facilities.

What are the Ideal Concrete Surface area for Epoxy Applications:

Epoxy flooring is no longer just for the garage. Modern decorative flake systems provide a sleek, hygenic alternative to traditional tiles and timber flooring throughout the home:

What outdoor areas are suitable for epoxy flooring coating?

  • Garages & Workshops: Resists oil spills, hot-tyre pickup, grease, and heavy tool impacts.
  • Patios, Verandahs & Entrances: Transforms dull, stained concrete into an attractive, low-maintenance entertainment space.
  • Pool Surrounds & Outdoor Wet Zones: Engineered with safety-focused anti-slip texture where water exposure is high.
  • Pathways, Carports & Driveways: Offers a seamless, non-porous finish that won't collect dirt or grow weed roots.
  • Commercial & Industrial Spaces: Delivers an easy-to-clean, QBCC-compliant surface built for heavy foot traffic.


What indoor areas are suitable for epoxy flooring coating?

  • Bathrooms & Ensuites: Eliminates grout lines that harbour mould and grime, creating a seamless, waterproof surface that is effortless to clean.
  • Kitchens & Dining Areas: Highly resistant to food spills, oils, and boiling liquids, providing a durable, stain-resistant surface for busy household hubs.

    Traction Control: Creates a fine, non-abrasive traction grit that significantly reduces slip hazards without feeling harsh under barefoot traffic.


    Safety Compliance: Ideal for meeting anti-slip standards in commercial premises, public amenities, and outdoor residential areas subject to wet conditions.

  • Can epoxy flooring be installed over indoor bathroom tiles?

    In most cases, existing tiles are removed or ground back to access the concrete substrate, ensuring a fully bonded, seamless, and waterproof finish.

The standard installation and curing process for a residential flake epoxy floor typically follows a clear timeline:

Note: Total time can vary slightly depending on weather, humidity, and airflow during application.

On-Site Installation (2 Days)

  • Day 1: Surface Preparation & Base Application – We perform full diamond grinding, repair any cracks or pitting in the concrete, and apply the base coats and full decorative flake broadcast.
  • Day 2: Topcoat Application – We sweep off excess flakes, clean the surface, and apply the protective 100% solids polyurethane topcoat.




Drying & Curing Timeline

  • 12 to 24 Hours (Light Foot Traffic): The surface is touch-dry and safe to walk on using clean, soft-soled shoes.
  • 48 to 72 Hours (Moderate Use / Furniture): Safe for carefully placing back furniture or light items (always lift and place rather than drag).
  • 5 to 7 Days (Full Chemical Cure): The floor reaches its maximum hardness and chemical resistance, making it fully ready for heavy items, vehicles, or normal commercial operations
