Garage Epoxy Flooring Adelaide

Frequently Asked
Questions

• What is full flake epoxy flooring?

  Epoxy flooring is a hard-wearing coating applied over concrete — designed to protect, seal, and dramatically improve the look of your floor.

  It’s commonly used in garages, workshops, sheds and warehouses— anywhere you want something that looks clean and handles foot or vehicle traffic.

  Unlike concrete paint, which is thin and wears off quickly, epoxy forms a thick, durable surface that’s resistant to stains, chemicals, and wear.

• What colours and finishes do you have available for epoxy floors?

  We offer two main epoxy finishes — both designed for durability and good looks:

  • Full Flake: Our most popular option for residential garages, sheds, and outdoor areas. It creates a textured, high-end look, hides dirt well, and adds grip underfoot.
  • Single Colour: A more basic, smooth finish — often used in commercial or industrial spaces where practicality is the priority.

  You might’ve seen metallic epoxy floors online — we don’t offer them. They look great, but they’re only suitable for indoor use and don’t hold up as well in Aussie conditions. We stick to the finishes that last.

  Not sure what’ll suit your space?

  We’ll bring samples to your onsite consult so you can see them in person, and there’s a visualiser on our website if you want to play around with options beforehand.

• Is epoxy slippery when wet?

  It depends on the finish — but we add slip resistance where needed.

  In garages or sheds, a flake finish usually provides enough grip by itself. For outdoor or wet areas, we can add extra non-slip additives to keep it safe underfoot.

• My concrete floor is in bad shape. Will the epoxy still look good?

  We can definitely improve it — but there are limits.

  If your slab is heavily cracked, pitted, or uneven, some of those imperfections may still show through after coating.

  Also, if the concrete was poorly finished and not flat, you may notice waviness or bumps under certain lighting. The gloss topcoat makes the floor more reflective — so things like dips or humps can become more noticeable when light hits the surface at an angle.

  Epoxy isn’t a magic fix for a badly laid slab — but it’ll still look way better than bare concrete. We’ll be straight with you during the quoting process so you know exactly what kind of result to expect.

• Is epoxy installation disruptive?

  A little — but we keep it smooth and efficient.

  We use grinders and vacuums to prep the surface, which can be a bit noisy and dusty. Once that’s done, the rest is pretty quiet.

  You’ll need to stay off the floor for the install and curing period — but we’ll work with you to keep disruptions to a minimum.

• How is the floor prepared before epoxy?

  Epoxy is only as good as the surface it’s stuck to — so prep is everything.

  Most garage, shed, and warehouse floors are smooth to the touch, which is a problem because epoxy doesn’t like sticking to smooth surfaces.
  Proper surface prep removes that smoothness and creates a profile the epoxy can reliably grip to.

  That’s why we diamond grind and shotblast every single floor. It’s well above what 99% of contractors do — but we do it because we know proper prep prevents the majority of epoxy failures.

  • Grinding opens up the concrete and gives the epoxy something to bond to.
  • Shotblasting pulls the fine dust out of the pores left behind after grinding — leaving a clean, dust-free surface for maximum adhesion.

  We don’t touch acid washing. It’s messy, inconsistent, and risky. One missed patch of residue, and your floor could bubble or peel within days.

  Our method is 100% mechanical. No shortcuts. No failures from poor prep.
