UNDERSTANDING THE SYSTEM
WHAT IS EPOXY FLOORING?
Epoxy flooring is a resin-based coating system applied over a prepared concrete substrate. Rather than simply covering the concrete, the system is designed to bond to the prepared surface and cure into a continuous, hard-wearing finish.
The finished result depends on more than the coating itself. The condition of the existing concrete, the preparation method, coating system, number of layers and chosen finish all play a role in how the completed floor performs and looks.
THE CONCRETE SUBSTRATE
THE COATING SYSTEM
The condition of the existing concrete is assessed before coating. Cracks, previous coatings, contamination and other surface conditions can affect the preparation and system required.
Epoxy flooring can involve multiple stages and coating layers depending on the surface, intended use and selected finish. The appropriate system is determined for the individual project rather than treating every floor the same way.
THE FINISHED SURFACE
The decorative finish is only the visible part of the completed system. What happens beneath it — particularly surface preparation and application — is an important part of achieving a consistent, durable result.
TYPE OF EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS
Epoxy flooring is available in a range of coating systems and decorative finishes, each offering different visual effects and practical characteristics. The right choice depends on how the space will be used, the condition of the concrete and the appearance you want to achieve.
DECORATIVE FLAKE EPOXY
Decorative flakes are incorporated into the coating system to create a textured, multi-tonal finish. Available in a wide variety of colour combinations, flake flooring is a popular choice for garages, workshops and commercial spaces.
METALLIC EPOXY FLOORING
Metallic pigments create flowing patterns and distinctive visual effects within the coating. Each application produces a unique appearance, making it suitable for feature floors, showrooms and selected interior spaces.
SOLID-COLOUR EPOXY
Solid-colour epoxy provides a consistent, uniform appearance without decorative flakes or metallic effects. Different coating specifications and surface textures can be selected to suit commercial, industrial and residential applications.
APPLICATIONS & ENVIRONMENTS
WHERE CAN EPOXY FLOORING BE USED?
Epoxy flooring can be specified for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial environments. Each space has different requirements for durability, surface texture, maintenance and appearance, making it important to select a coating system suited to its intended use.
GARAGES & WORKSHOPS
Epoxy flooring provides a practical surface solution for garages and workshops where everyday vehicle use, foot traffic and ease of cleaning are important considerations.
RETAIL & COMMERCIAL SPACES
Decorative and functional epoxy systems can be selected for showrooms, retail premises and commercial interiors where presentation, durability and ongoing maintenance matter.
WAREHOUSES & INDUSTRIAL FACILITES
Industrial epoxy flooring systems can be specified to suit operational requirements, including traffic levels, cleaning needs and exposure to particular working conditions.
RESIDENTIAL INTERIORS
Selected epoxy finishes can create seamless decorative surfaces for suitable interior areas, offering a range of colours and visual effects to complement different design styles.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
CHOOSING THE RIGHT EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEM
Cracks, previous coatings, contamination and surface strength can affect the preparation required and the suitability of a new epoxy system.
EXISTING CONCRETE CONDITION
TRAFFIC & EVERYDAY USE
Not every epoxy flooring system is suitable for every surface or environment. Factors such as the condition of the existing concrete, expected traffic, exposure to moisture and the desired finish all influence which coating system is appropriate for your project.
Foot traffic, vehicles, equipment and the activities carried out in the space help determine the required durability and coating specification.
NOT SURE WHICH SYSTEM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Tell us about your existing floor and how you intend to use the space. Heat Shield Group can discuss suitable preparation methods, coating options and finishes for your project.
MOISTURE & ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Moisture within the concrete, exposure to water, temperature changes and other environmental factors should be assessed before selecting a coating system.
FINISH & SURFACE REQUIREMENTS
Colour, gloss level, surface texture, cleaning requirements and slip resistance should be considered alongside the appearance you want to achieve.
FROM CONCRETE TO FINISHED FLOOR
THE EPOXY FLOORING INSTALLATION PROCESS
A durable epoxy floor begins long before the final coating is applied. Proper assessment, mechanical surface preparation, appropriate coating selection and controlled application all contribute to the quality and performance of the finished system. The exact installation process varies depending on the concrete condition and selected finish.
01
CONCRETE INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT
The existing concrete is assessed for surface condition, previous coatings, contamination and potential moisture concerns to determine the preparation and coating requirements.
02
MECHANICAL SURFACE PREPARATION
The concrete is mechanically prepared using suitable grinding or profiling methods to remove unsuitable surface material and create the required surface profile for coating adhesion.
03
REPAIRS & SURFACE TREATMENT
Cracks, surface imperfections and other identified issues are addressed as appropriate before coating. Additional treatment may be required depending on the condition of the substrate.
04
PRIMER & COATING APPLICATION
The selected system is applied in the required stages, which may include a primer, base coat, decorative materials and protective topcoat depending on the flooring specification.
05
CURING & FINAL INSPECTION
The completed coating is allowed to cure in accordance with the product requirements before the floor is returned to use. The finished surface is checked for coverage, consistency and workmanship.
HOW LONG DOES EPOXY FLOORING TAKE TO INSTALL?
Installation time depends on the floor area, concrete condition, preparation requirements, number of coating layers and curing conditions. Some projects may require additional preparation or longer curing periods before the surface is ready for foot traffic, vehicles or equipment.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
EPOXY FLOORING CARE & MAINTENANCE
MANAGE SPILLS PROMPTLY
REGULAR CLEANING
Remove dust, dirt and loose debris regularly. Use a soft mop or suitable cleaning equipment and a cleaner recommended for the specific coating system.
With appropriate care and maintenance, epoxy flooring can provide a durable and attractive surface for a range of environments. Regular cleaning, suitable maintenance practices and prompt attention to spills or damage can help preserve the appearance and performance of the coating over time.
Clean up spills as soon as practical to minimise staining or surface damage. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning methods unless approved for the coating.
PREVENT SURFACE DAMAGE
Avoid dragging heavy furniture, equipment or sharp objects across the floor. Use suitable protective pads or mats in areas exposed to concentrated wear.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Check the floor for signs of wear, scratches, peeling or other coating damage. Seek advice on suitable maintenance or repairs where required.
Important Information & Disclaimer
Epoxy flooring results may vary depending on the condition of the existing concrete, surface preparation, moisture levels and selected coating system. Colours, textures, gloss levels and decorative finishes may differ from those shown, and additional preparation or treatment may be required.
