Frequently Asked Questions About Metallic Epoxy Flooring
How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Sutherland Shire?
Metallic epoxy flooring typically costs $80-150 per square meter in the Sutherland Shire. Price varies based on floor size, surface condition, design complexity, and preparation requirements. Custom multi-colour designs cost more than solid metallic finishes.
How long do metallic epoxy floors last?
Quality metallic epoxy floors last 15-20 years with proper installation and care. In Sutherland Shire’s coastal climate, our UV-resistant formulations maintain appearance and durability throughout their lifespan without significant fading or deterioration.
What are the disadvantages of metallic epoxy flooring?
The initial cost is higher than that of basic concrete coatings, and installation requires professional expertise. Surface preparation is critical – shortcuts lead to failure. Once installed, repairs can be challenging if damage occurs to specific areas.
How long until you can walk on metallic epoxy floors?
Light foot traffic is possible after 24 hours, normal use after 48-72 hours. Full cure takes 7 days for heavy loads and chemical resistance. We provide detailed timeline guidance for each project.
Do epoxy floors crack over time?
Quality epoxy floors shouldn’t crack with proper installation over sound concrete. Cracks typically result from concrete movement, inadequate preparation, or substrate issues. Our installations include proper preparation to prevent cracking.
What's the difference between regular epoxy and metallic epoxy?
Regular epoxy provides solid colour coverage, while metallic epoxy contains specialised pigments creating three-dimensional visual effects. Metallic systems offer unique patterns and depth that change with lighting and viewing angles.
How do you maintain metallic epoxy flooring?
Simple maintenance involves regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent. No waxing or special treatments needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners and promptly clean spills to maintain appearance and slip resistance.
What shouldn't you put on epoxy floors?
Avoid dragging heavy objects without protection, using abrasive cleaners, or allowing hot items direct contact. Battery acid and certain solvents can damage epoxy surfaces if not cleaned promptly.
