Is an Epoxy Flooring Business Right for You?
Demand for tough, great looking floors keeps growing in homes, garages, showrooms and warehouses across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and into Northern NSW. With this surge in demand, starting an Epoxy Flooring Business in Australia is becoming an attractive opportunity. Although 2032 seems a while off, the landscape in SE Qld will change and grow — and the potential is here now.
Epoxy flooring's right in the thick of it. More and more people are choosing it for its strength, style, and low-maintenance appeal. It's used in everything from home garages and patios to retail stores and warehouses, thanks to its clean look and durability.
If you've taken notice of that growing demand and started wondering what it's like to work in the trade, there's good reason to consider it. The industry's growing, and there's a real opportunity for those willing to learn the ropes and do the job right. But it's worth asking yourself a few hard questions before you dive in.
Do you enjoy hands-on, detail-driven work?
This trade isn't about rushing through jobs or cutting corners. Success in epoxy flooring comes from doing things correctly, starting with surface preparation and all the way through to the final coat.
The work can be repetitive at times, but the satisfaction of getting a great finish makes it worthwhile. If you're the type who takes pride in precision and doesn't mind getting your hands dirty, that's a great start.
Are you ready to treat it like a business?
Being a great installer is only half the game. Running an epoxy flooring business also means quoting jobs, managing bookings, ordering supplies, and keeping customers happy.
It's not always glamorous, but building strong systems around the work is what helps your business grow and stay profitable. If that part interests you, or at least doesn't scare you off, you're on the right track.
We don’t just pass you the leads, we help manage them through our bespoke app, creating more time for you to earn. We invoice for you too.
Can you handle physical work in changing environments?
This job isn't done in an office. You'll be on your feet, lifting gear, working on concrete, and often dealing with heat, dust, long days or…all of the above. Some people thrive in that environment, others don't.
Knowing how you cope with physical effort and job site conditions is an important piece of the puzzle.
Do you have the drive to keep learning?
No matter how long you've been in the trade, there's always something new to pick up: a different product system, a tricky site challenge, or a better way to run your jobs.
The best in the business are those who stay curious, ask questions, and continue learning.
So, is this business for you?
If you're nodding along to most of the above, epoxy flooring could be a great fit. It's a trade that rewards consistency, care, and commitment. It can also give you the freedom to work for yourself, set your own standards, and build something solid over time.
