Residential epoxy flooring
It's an exciting time to refurbish, renovate or build from the ground up. With any of these, floor finishes are important to get right as it covers so much of the area. With epoxy flooring, integrating internal & external areas seamlessly is part of what makes this an attractive option. From the driveway to the garage & seamlessly to the living areas, wet areas, stairway & back out to the alfresco areas & pool surrounds, a seamless yet defining flooring landscape can be achieved.
Some of the main features and benefits to consider when choosing epoxy resin flooring for your home include:
- Economical – Compared to most flooring options, epoxy flooring is very well priced and will add value to your property.
- Aesthetics – There are plenty of colours & styles to choose from. Marble look finishes, unique designs & the colours of the rainbow to choose from ensures there is something for everyone.
- Easy cleaning & maintenance – as this is a seamless floor with no gaps or grout lines, the nature of epoxy flooring provides for a hygienic environment. There are no low lying areas for bacteria to hide & thrive.
- Slip resistance – making an area safe doesn't have to compromise the ability to clean & maintain. There are varying levels of slip resistance available & appropriate for various areas.
- Durability – one of the features that epoxy provides is lasting durability. Most epoxy coatings set harder than the concrete it's applied to, is impervious & acts as a protector to the substrate.
- Flexibility – most floor finishes are a 'set standard' product where one size fits all. Epoxy has the capability of 'application flexibility' whereby, as an example, if an area is high traffic & requires a heavier wearable coating, this is easily achieved.
It's the same with slip resistance. An example will be, say, in a warehouse where the main areas & known trafficable areas may receive a higher level of slip resistance but the areas less trafficable & maybe toward walls etc really aren't trafficable & need little to no slip resistance.
- Concrete protection – concrete is, in the mainstream, quite a soft & porous product. It wears & displays the wear in areas that are continuously tracked across over periods of time.
Further, concrete laying has standards attached to the installation process, varying hardnesses depending on batches but also with additives, accelerants & retarders that can be added during the pouring process.
This all adds to the strength & integrity of the concrete. A suitable epoxy system will aid in the protection of the concrete. In turn, this can add life to your concrete & in some cases, eliminate the need to replace the concreted area due to wear, particularly in a given, high trafficable area.

How appropriate is epoxy flooring for homes?
One of the standouts with epoxy flooring is the design choices. Within the flake range alone is a seeming endless amount of styles, from two tone flake, metallic flake, single colour, micro, pre packed & of course glow-in-the-dark.
You can have singles colours & within this can include high gloss, matt, polished, smooth & textured.
Then there is the two tone & metallic range which is top end in style, uniqueness & application. No two jobs are the same. This work is mostly a client 'statement' and mark on the property. These finishes can be strengthened with additional products, clear finishes & more options that are discussed during the consultation.
It all starts with the enquiry. We will guide you from there.

The good news for epoxy floors - spills are easily cleaned. With a seamless finish, there's no need to get into the grout lines for additional cleaning. You may also choose to use a steam mop.
The floor finish is impervious, unlike bare concrete that absorbs liquids like a sponge & left untreated, harbours germs & is an unhygienic environment.
