At Art of Concrete, we’ve perfected the installation of seamless, high-performance epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems in Perth for commercial, industrial, or specialised spaces.
Our epoxy flooring systems not only offer ease of installation. They are also non-slip, very easily cleaned and comply with food and health regulations. These floors can withstand repeated wear and tear, aggressive chemicals, and mechanical stress for years. They’re the ultimate solution for durability and functionality.
What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is perhaps one of the most popular flooring options for both commercial and industrial buildings. It consists of a resin floor system applied over concrete, typically at a depth of 2 millimetres or more, which hardens into a solid, durable surface.
Once we have the concrete substrate properly prepared and completely dried, we apply a special formula of resin and hardening chemicals.
This mixture is poured over the substrate. It will harden within 12 to 24 hours, allowing light use (e.g., walking over it). Full curing time typically takes a few days to one week, depending on the specific mix used.
Epoxy Flooring Finishes We Offer
We have a variety of epoxy finishes and systems to suit different needs. These include:
- Basic roll coats

Some Frequently Asked Questions
1. Besides concrete, could epoxy flooring be applied to any other substrate?
Any substrate as hard and solid as concrete can serve as a base. For instance, stone floors (e.g., marble) can be laid over with certain types of epoxy resin after proper preparation.
However, wooden floors are not ideal. Wood tends to contract or expand according to ambient temperature and humidity. Over time, that will make the epoxy layer buckle and crack.
2. What kind of stresses can an epoxy floor tolerate?
Epoxy floors can resist a lot of wear and tear from heat, bright sunlight, and scratch-inducing movement. But to avoid damage, these floors require regular cleaning and protection from extreme heat or impact from ultra-heavy equipment.
Moreover, an epoxy floor’s thickness adds to its durability. You must choose the appropriate epoxy floor thickness to your site’s intended use.
3. How long can an epoxy floor last?
An epoxy floor’s durability will depend on its type, its location and use, and the quality of maintenance. Typically, a high-quality epoxy floor in a high traffic area (e.g., mall indoor parking lot) can endure anywhere from 3 to 10 years of use. After such a time, the floor may need repair or replacement.
4. Can an epoxy floor be both high gloss and non-slip?
Yes, it is possible to have an epoxy floor that is both glossy and non-slip. We achieve this with the use of textures (i.e., fine anti-slip granules) or non-slip epoxy additives. These help increase slip resistance while maintaining a visually appealing finish.
