How do I know if I need animal care epoxy flooring?
Here are a few signs that it might be time to consider epoxy flooring:
✗ Frequent Spills and Accidents: If your facility deals with frequent spills, whether from cleaning solutions, water, or other substances, an epoxy floor can provide a non-porous, seamless surface that is easy to clean and prevents liquids from seeping in and causing damage or harbouring bacteria.
✗ High Foot Traffic and Wear: Animal care facilities often experience heavy foot traffic from people and animals, leading to significant wear and tear on traditional flooring. Epoxy is highly durable and resistant to scratches, abrasions, and impacts, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
✗ Sanitation and Hygiene Concerns: Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is crucial in animal care settings. Epoxy is resistant to bacteria, fungi, and mould, which helps prevent the spread of germs and disease, ensuring a healthier space for animals and staff.
✗ Chemical and Odour Resistance: If your current flooring struggles to withstand the cleaning chemicals used regularly or retains odours, epoxy could be the solution. Its chemical resistance and ability to seal out odours make it perfect for maintaining a fresh and clean environment.
How much does animal care epoxy flooring cost?
The cost can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the condition of the existing floor, the type of epoxy used, and any additional requirements specific to your facility.
We’ve put together average epoxy service prices to help you properly budget your next project.
| Location | Service | Price Range (per square metre) |
| Brisbane | Basic Epoxy Coating | $40 - $70 |
| Brisbane | High-Performance Epoxy with Anti-Slip | $80 - $120 |
| Brisbane | Decorative Epoxy (colours and patterns) | $100 - $150 |

Additional Factors Affecting Cost:
- Preparation Work: If the existing floor requires extensive preparation, such as repairs or levelling, this can increase the overall cost.
- Customisation: Custom colours, patterns, or additional features like anti-slip properties can also add to the cost.
- Size of the Area: Larger areas may benefit from bulk pricing, potentially lowering the cost per square metre.
- Accessibility: If the location is hard to access or requires special arrangements for installation, this might also affect pricing.

How long does animal care epoxy flooring take to install?
The installation time can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the area, the type of epoxy system used, and the condition of the existing floor.
However, here’s a general overview of the timeline you can expect:
- Preparation: Before applying the epoxy, the existing floor must be properly prepared. This includes cleaning, repairing any damage, and, in some cases, grinding the surface to ensure proper adhesion. Depending on the size and condition of the floor, this process can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days.
- Application of Epoxy: Once the floor is prepared, the epoxy application begins. Most flooring systems require multiple layers, including a primer, a base coat, and a topcoat. Each layer must be applied carefully and allowed to cure properly before the next layer is added. The entire application process typically takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the complexity and type of epoxy used.
- Curing Time: After the final layer of epoxy is applied, the floor needs to cure fully before it can be put to use. Standard epoxy floors generally take about 24 to 72 hours to cure enough for light foot traffic and about 7 days for full curing, allowing for heavy use and equipment.
Total Estimated Time
In total, the complete process of installing animal care epoxy flooring usually takes about 3 to 7 days. This timeline can be affected by factors such as the weather, as extreme humidity or temperature changes can impact the curing process.
CHECKLIST: How to identify a professional animal care epoxy flooring installer
To identify professional animal care epoxy flooring, it's essential to focus on several key factors that ensure you receive a high-quality product and service tailored to your facility's unique needs.
Here are some tips to help you select the most suitable provider:
Experience and Expertise: Look for a provider with extensive experience in installing epoxy flooring for animal care facilities. A seasoned professional will understand the specific challenges these environments present, such as high foot traffic, frequent spills, and the need for easy maintenance.
Quality of Materials: Not all epoxy coatings are created equal. Ensure the provider uses high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the rigours of an animal care setting. A good provider will be transparent about the products they use and be able to explain why they are the best choice for your facility.
Customisation Options: Every facility has different needs. A professional provider should offer a range of customisation options, such as anti-slip surfaces, chemical resistance, and decorative finishes, to ensure the flooring meets your specific requirements.
Customer Reviews and Testimonials: Check for reviews and testimonials from other animal care facilities that have used the provider’s services. Positive feedback from similar businesses can give you confidence in the provider’s ability to deliver quality work.
Warranty and Support: A reputable provider will stand behind their work with a warranty and offer ongoing support to ensure your flooring remains in top condition. This commitment to customer satisfaction is a hallmark of professional service.
Professionalism and Communication: From the initial consultation to the final installation, the provider should demonstrate professionalism, clear communication, and a commitment to meeting deadlines. This ensures a smooth process and a positive experience.

Pet Groomers & Pet Resorts
Pet Grooming Salons
Pet grooming salons can get messy, with hair on the floor, water from wash tubs and the inevitable animal ‘mishaps.’ A non-busy epoxy design is helpful in these facilities, as it makes it easier to find small items which are dropped on the floor. Slip resistance and floor protection are also important and should therefore be factored into the design to keep your team and the animals safe.
Pet Resorts
Pet Resorts & Hotels are mostly multiple night stays, sometimes weeks, so these are treated slightly differently.
Cleaned often & regularly wet, we factor maximum durability & safety. We discuss the cleaning approach to urination & defecation, slip resistance & the safety of you, your team & the public going areas.
Coving is often factored into the design so that cleaning with a mop is easier. Coving turns a 90 degree angle (between floor & wall) into a rounded system so that bacteria is more easily cleaned.
