Posted by Crafted Crete on August 26th, 2021

If you are only just learning of what epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast is, you have been missing out. Epoxy Flooring is a coating that is made of certain chemicals to create a resin that provides a unique finish with a strong protective coating as well. This coating will seal and cure the surface as well and is used both residentially in garages, sheds and even home floors. It can also be used commercially on trading floors as it is very durable and slip resistant. Although we have discussed what epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast is, lets discuss the top advantages of having epoxy flooring.

Simply looks better

The appearance of epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast will be much better than a typical normal concrete finish. You can transform a dull garage, shed or trading floor into an exciting and vibrant area. You can have several finishes such as metallic or flake, with hundreds of different colour combinations available. By adding this finish to your flooring, you are giving the space a whole new look and feel. By mixing paint in with a clear epoxy finish, you can easily cover any little chips or defects in the floor. A flaked effect mixes in decorative chips for a speckled finish, even adding more grip to the floor under feet. The speckled finish eliminates a previously boring floor and can also reflect light.

Don’t empty your wallet 

Epoxy Flooring on the Gold Coast gives the ability to save a lot of money when comparing to installing other traditional flooring options. If you were to install other flooring, you would have to remove the current flooring, purchase materials such as tile or vinyl and then have it installed. With epoxy flooring, the existing flooring does not even need to be removed, saving plenty of time and money. If you have a concrete floor that is simply not great to look at, epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast is the best solution. Although it does take time to apply and dry, the cost is still lower than other flooring.  

Tougher than most

An epoxy floor will add an extra layer of toughness to your floor. This can be a great asset for high traffic areas such as laundry, garage and shed. The coating will give resistance to heavy shock, heat, water, and harmful chemicals. One of the best things that epoxy flooring provides is the shock resistance. If something heavy is dropped, normally it would crack the concrete. Now this is not the case with epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast. Heat resistance is great for sheds and garages, common chemicals such as car oils and brake fluids will not damage or stain epoxy flooring either. If you are concerned about slipping, add slip-resistant aggregate into the coating to reduce slipping if wet.

Long Lasting

Investing in epoxy flooring on the Gold Coast will mean that you do not need to replace or repair the floor for many years. It is known to endure longer than tiles and wooden floors, meaning that you can safely say you are getting a great return on investment.
