Yes. Epoxy flooring is non toxic once cured and produces no VOCs. It also creates a seamless surface, reducing trip hazards. For added safety, slip resistant finishes are ideal for homes with kids, elderly residents, or pets.

Most residential epoxy floors can be installed in 1–2 days, depending on the size and condition of the area. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation to ensure minimal disruption to your household.

Epoxy floors are extremely low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild detergent is all that's needed to keep your floor looking fresh. It resists stains, dust, and moisture, making it ideal for busy households.

Definitely. Epoxy transforms garages into clean, professional looking spaces that can be used for more than just storage. It adds resale appeal and functional value, especially when paired with slip resistant or flake finishes.

Yes, epoxy flooring is an excellent choice for families. It's incredibly tough, impact resistant, and able to handle everything from toy drops to bike rides and muddy shoes. It won't chip, scratch, or stain easily, making it ideal for active households with young children.

Commercial

9 questions

Epoxy flooring offers a high performance, low maintenance surface ideal for Melbourne's wide range of commercial spaces—from retail stores and offices to hospitality and healthcare settings. It's durable, easy to clean, and can be tailored to match your brand's aesthetic.

We install commercial epoxy flooring in cafes, restaurants, retail shops, office buildings, showrooms, gyms, schools, medical facilities, and more. No matter the industry, we tailor each installation to the functional and design needs of the space.

While epoxy is low maintenance, we do offer advice and support for ongoing care. For businesses with high traffic zones, we can recommend cleaning routines and provide recoating services if needed in the future.

Industrial

8 questions

Industrial epoxy flooring is built for the toughest environments. It resists heavy machinery, chemical exposure, frequent cleaning, and high foot traffic, making it the go to solution for Melbourne factories, warehouses, workshops, and production plants.

We install epoxy flooring in manufacturing plants, logistics centres, automotive workshops, food processing facilities, pharmaceutical environments, and more. Our industrial solutions are customised to meet the operational and safety requirements of each space.

Our industrial epoxy systems are engineered for strength and resilience. They can withstand forklifts, trolleys, pallet jacks, and other heavy equipment without cracking, peeling, or degrading under significant pressure.

Yes. Industrial epoxy coatings are highly resistant to oils, solvents, fuels, acids, and other harsh chemicals, making it perfect for chemical processing, manufacturing, and mechanical environments where spills are common.

Absolutely. We offer slip resistant finishes and can incorporate line markings, hazard zones, and colour coded sections directly into the floor. This enhances visibility and helps facilities meet OH&S and compliance standards.

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project, but we work quickly and efficiently to reduce downtime. We also offer flexible scheduling—nights, weekends, or shutdown periods—to keep your operations running smoothly.

Yes. Industrial epoxy floors are seamless, non porous, and easy to clean with basic maintenance procedures. They resist dust, dirt, and moisture, helping keep your facility hygienic and operational.

Waterproofing is essential to protect your home's structural integrity. It prevents water ingress, which can lead to timber rot, concrete cancer, rising damp, and harmful mould growth. Proper waterproofing also ensures compliance with Australian Building Codes.

In Australia, it is mandatory to waterproof "wet areas." This includes bathrooms, shower recesses, laundries, and toilets. Exterior areas like balconies, rooftops, retaining walls, and basements also highly require waterproofing to withstand Australian weather conditions.

Yes. In most Australian states (like NSW and QLD), waterproofing must be carried out by a licensed professional to ensure it meets the Australian Standard (AS3740 for indoor, AS4654 for outdoor). A compliance certificate is usually required for building sign offs and home insurance.

When installed correctly by a professional using premium liquid or sheet membranes, waterproofing can last 10 to 15 years, or even the lifetime of the building. Most reputable contractors will offer a multi year warranty on their workmanship.

While it is sometimes possible to use clear, penetrative waterproof sealers over existing tiles to fix minor leaks, the most reliable long term solution is to remove the tiles, repair the membrane, and retile.

Commercial

5 questions

We service a wide variety of commercial spaces including retail shopping centres, multi level office buildings, strata/apartment complexes, hotels, and commercial kitchens.

Commercial waterproofing often involves much larger surface areas (like expansive flat roofs or multi level underground car parks) and must withstand higher foot traffic, heavier structural loads, and stricter compliance standards. It requires heavy duty sheet membranes, specialized sealants, and larger scale application methods.

We understand that downtime costs businesses money. We work closely with commercial clients to schedule works in phases, or during after hours and weekends, to ensure minimal disruption to staff, customers, and daily operations.

Waterproofing is a crucial step in treating concrete cancer (spalling). After the damaged concrete and rusted steel reinforcements are structurally repaired, a high grade waterproofing membrane is applied to prevent moisture from penetrating the concrete and causing future corrosion.

Yes, all our commercial waterproofing systems strictly comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards, including AS4654 for external above ground waterproofing.

Industrial

5 questions

Industrial sites often deal with extreme conditions, such as severe hydrostatic pressure in deep basements or lift shafts, exposure to harsh chemicals, heavy machinery vibrations, and expansive metal deck roofs. Standard membranes are not enough; these environments require highly specialized, industrial-grade solutions.

For subterranean areas facing high ground water pressure, we typically use negative side waterproofing. This involves specialized epoxy coatings, crystalline waterproofing compounds that grow inside the concrete pores, or polyurethane injection systems to stop active water leaks instantly.

Yes. For facilities like chemical plants, food and beverage processing plants, and manufacturing warehouses, we apply specialized chemical resistant polyurethane or epoxy membranes that can withstand constant exposure to acids, alkalis, oils, and industrial cleaning solvents.

Absolutely. We provide liquid applied membranes and heavy duty sheet membranes designed for large scale industrial roofs, including box gutters, plant rooms, and metal decks. These systems are UV stable and designed to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction typical in the Australian climate.

Timelines vary based on the scope of the project and the type of membrane system used (e.g., fast curing polyurea vs. multi coat liquids). We provide a detailed project schedule upfront and can coordinate during planned plant shutdowns to ensure maximum efficiency.
