Epoxy Floors – FAQs

What’s the difference between epoxy and polished concrete?

Epoxy is a topical coating (colour or clear) that sits on top of the slab. Polished concrete mechanically refines the concrete itself. Epoxy offers colour/chemical resistance; polished concrete is low-maintenance and very durable.

How long does epoxy last?

With correct prep and normal use, garage/domestic epoxies often last many years. Heavy industrial sites may need periodic re-coats depending on traffic and chemicals.

Will hot tyres lift the coating?

With proper diamond grind, moisture check and the right primer, hot-tyre pickup is minimised. Poor prep is the usual cause of peeling.

Is epoxy slippery?

Gloss epoxies can be slippery when wet. We can add slip-resistant media or choose a satin/matte system where needed.

How long before we can park or use the area?

Light foot traffic is typically next day; vehicle traffic commonly 3–5 days depending on system and temperature.

What colours/finishes can I get?

Solids, flakes, metallic, or clear sealers over decorative systems. Send photos and a rough brief — we’ll match a system to your use.
