Why Choose Epoxy Flooring ?
Residential epoxy flooring systems use high-performance epoxy floor coatings to create a seamless surface that bonds directly to concrete substrates. Unlike tiles or vinyl that sit on top, epoxy flooring becomes part of the floor itself, creating an incredibly durable and chemical-resistant surface that can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance.
For Adelaide homes, epoxy flooring offers practical benefits beyond aesthetics. The seamless surface eliminates grout lines and joints where dirt, bacteria, and moisture can accumulate. It reflects light to brighten spaces, resists the hot tire pickup common in Australian garages, and makes spill cleanup effortless.
Our professional-grade epoxy flooring systems are specifically formulated for South Australian conditions—UV-stable to resist fading and yellowing, and flexible enough to handle concrete expansion and contraction through Adelaide’s temperature extremes.
We understand that residential epoxy flooring projects come with unique challenges: tight deadlines, budget constraints, operational disruption, and compliance requirements.

From small professional suites to large-scale facilities, we bring the same commitment to quality, professionalism, and client communication. Our goal is simple: deliver exceptional results while making the process as smooth as possible for you.
Why Residential Epoxy Flooring Is a Smart Investment
Choosing residential epoxy flooring isn’t just about looks — it’s about long-term value. Many Adelaide homeowners ask, “How much does epoxy flooring cost?” The better question is actually — what do you get for that cost?
Cost vs Long-Term Value
The average residential epoxy flooring cost in Adelaide ranges from $30 to $100 per square metre, based on surface condition and finish type. A basic epoxy floor coating will cost less, while decorative flake or metallic systems increase the epoxy resin floor cost.
But here’s the important part — epoxy isn’t just an expense, it’s an upgrade.
1. Durability That Saves Money
A properly installed epoxy garage floor can last 10–15 years or more. That means, you don’t need to be repaired again and again.like standard concrete or basic epoxy floor paint.
2. Low Maintenance
Epoxy resin flooring is easy to clean. Basically, it creates a seamless surface. No cracks collecting dirt. Lower cleaning costs and you can save your time.
3. Boosts Property Appeal
Whether it’s a garage, warehouse, or commercial space, epoxy resin flooring Adelaide instantly gives a modern, professional finish — which can increase property value.
4. Protects Concrete
It acts as a protective layer against stains, moisture, chemicals, and heavy impact. So you’re not just improving appearance — you’re protecting your floor.
So, when you compare the epoxy garage floor cost to the durability and long lifespan it offers, it becomes clear why epoxy flooring is considered a smart investment.

Our Installation Process
Professional preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting epoxy floor. Our systematic approach ensures superior adhesion and durability.
01Surface Assessment
We conduct thorough moisture testing, assess concrete condition, identify cracks or damage, and determine the optimal coating system for your specific substrate and usage requirements.
02 Diamond Grinding
Professional diamond grinding opens the concrete pores and creates a mechanical bond profile. This critical step ensures maximum adhesion—we never use acid etching which provides inferior results.
03 Crack & Damage Repair
All cracks, spalling, and surface defects are repaired using flexible epoxy fillers. Expansion joints are properly addressed to prevent future coating failure.
04 Primer Application
A penetrating epoxy primer seals the concrete and provides the foundation for the topcoat system. This ensures deep adhesion and prevents bubbling or delamination.
05 Coating Application
Your chosen coating system is applied in multiple layers with proper cure times between coats. Flakes or metallic pigments are broadcast at this stage if selected.
06 Clear Topcoat & Cureer
A UV-stable polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat provides the final protection layer. Full chemical cure takes 7 days, with light foot traffic possible after 24-48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does epoxy flooring take to install?
A standard double garage (36-40m²) typically takes 2-3 days to complete. Day 1 involves grinding and preparation, Day 2 is for primer and base coat, and Day 3 for topcoat application. Larger commercial projects are scheduled accordingly. You can walk on the floor after 24-48 hours, with full cure achieved at 7 days.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Adelaide?
Pricing depends on floor condition, coating type, and area size. As a general guide: Solid colour epoxy starts from $50-70/m², flake systems from $70-90/m², and metallic epoxy from $100-150/m². We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific floor. Most residential garages fall between $1,800-$3,500 fully installed.
Will epoxy flooring work on my old concrete?
Yes, in most cases. We successfully coat concrete of all ages. Older floors often require more preparation including crack repairs and moisture mitigation. During our free assessment, we test moisture levels and concrete hardness to determine the optimal approach. Severely damaged floors may need resurfacing before coating.
How do I maintain my epoxy floor?
Epoxy floors are remarkably easy to maintain. Regular sweeping or dust mopping removes debris. For cleaning, simply mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner—avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. For garages, automotive spills should be wiped up within 24 hours to prevent staining.
Can epoxy flooring be applied outdoors?
Standard epoxy is not recommended for outdoor use as UV exposure causes yellowing and chalking. For outdoor areas like driveways, patios, and pool surrounds, we use polyaspartic or polyurethane systems that are specifically formulated for UV stability and exterior conditions.
What preparation is required before installation?
The floor should be cleared of all items, vehicles, and storage. We handle all surface preparation including grinding, cleaning, and repairs. New concrete must cure for at least 28 days before coating. We recommend temporarily relocating vehicles for 3-5 days during and after installation.
