Epoxy Coatings

in Brisbane and Gold Coast

If you run a workshop in Brisbane or Gold Coast, it goes without saying that you need sturdy floors. After all, your workshop is sure to see a ton of foot traffic and massive impacts from machinery and chemicals. You can’t afford to have an unstable surface like wood or plain concrete that will wear and crack. That’s why epoxy flooring and epoxy coatings are the perfect solutions. They’re durable, affordable, and are reflective and visually appealing. At My Floor, we provide elite level epoxy coating systems for Brisbane and Gold Coast! We love to educate our customers, so let’s take a look at what an epoxy floor is precisely.

 

 

What Are Epoxy Floors and Epoxy Coatings?

 

Okay, so first, we’ll take a look at epoxy resins. They’re used to create both epoxy floors and epoxy coatings. In a nutshell, epoxy is a two-part liquid mix of resin and hardening agents. When combined, they form a stable and rigid plastic material known as epoxy. Epoxy resins are the most challenging and most resilient types of resin that we have available today. Now let’s take a look at what differentiates an epoxy floor from an epoxy coating. As a simple rule of thumb, it goes like this:

  • Epoxy Coatings: Below 2-millimeter thickness
  • Epoxy Flooring: Above 2-millimeter thickness

It’s important to know this distinction to avoid confusion. At My Floor, our epoxy coatings consist of multiple layers of coatings and is always prepared in accordance with the Australian Standard. This combination of multiple layers ensures maximum durability!

 

 

Since epoxy coatings are so durable and robust, they’re great for high-traffic areas. They’re also resistant to chemicals, grease, and water. As a result, they’ve become wildly popular in commercial and industrial areas. Having said that, epoxy floors have seen a recent surge in residential areas. That’s because when done right, they can be quite aesthetically appealing. Here are some of the most common places you’ll find epoxy flooring:

  • Airport hangars. Epoxy coatings are durable enough to withstand heavy traffic from vehicles and equipment. It’s also easy to keep clean and is cost-effective to install. It can easily withstand traffic from airplanes, employees, and other cars.
  • Fitness centers. Epoxy coatings is great for gyms and fitness centers due to its strength and visual appeal. Due to its toughness, your clients won’t have to worry about damaging your floor. It can withstand massive impacts from weights and other equipment!
  • Car dealerships. Thanks to its shine and reflectiveness, epoxy coating systems work great for showrooms. Not only are epoxy floors beautiful, but they can handle vehicle traffic with ease.
  • Residential homes. As previously mentioned, epoxy coatings is making a big boom in residential areas. With a non-slip agent and other cosmetic modifications, epoxy floors are very versatile floor for garages or inside your home.
  • Industrial workshops. Epoxy coatings protect the concrete from oil, grease, brake fluid and impact damage, making the surface easy to clean.

Floor, we don’t cut any corners when installing our epoxy. That’s important because it can be easy to mess up an epoxy flooring installation. Here’s a brief breakdown of what the process looks like:

  • Repairing the Underlying Surface

You can install epoxy on wood, concrete, steel, or other slightly porous surfaces. Before you get started, you must repair the original surface. That means smoothing out any perfections, repairing cracks, and removing contaminants. You see, the epoxy requires a suitable bond in order to prevent delamination. That’s why it’s so crucial that you have a pristine surface to start. My Floor only apply coatings on concrete.

  • Preparing the Concrete Surface

Next, we use our diamond concrete grinder to remove a layer off the surface. This opens the pores of the concrete so that the first coat of epoxy can soak in and penetrate. We also ensure that the surface is dry the surface for the next step.

  • Applying the Epoxy Primer

After a detailed inspection, we apply a thin coat of epoxy primer using a roller. This will ensure a flawless bond between the substrate and the epoxy coating.

  • Applying the Epoxy Coating

Depending on what options you have elected to install, we apply several layers of coating together to form the epoxy coating system. Usually there is a 6 to 12 hour drying time between each epoxy coat application. We are able to include an anti-slip additive during the process for areas requiring a non-slip floor.

FAQ

Your floors should last roughly 1 to 10 years before needing an application of an additional coat. With the proper maintenance, touch-ups, and care, they can last even longer! At My Floor, our team can help you keep up with preventative maintenance. We also offer extended warranties!

You never want to use abrasive brushes or pads to clean your epoxy flooring. That’s because they will rub the surface and will wear away at the coating. To clean your floors, you should sweep and vacuum the entire area. From there, use warm water and a hard foam mop to clean the flooring thoroughly. Water is the best cleaning agent to use. If you do use a cleaner, use one that has a neutral PH level. You don’t want to use cleaning agents that are too alkaline or acidic.

It depends on your specific flooring choices and who installed them. If you use My Floor, your floor should feel like a smooth surface unless a non-slip is required. That’s because we pay special attention to smoothing and cleaning the surface beforehand.
