FAQs

A rigid, thermosetting resin applied to concrete to create a durable, stain-resistant and visually appealing surface. A professionally installed, high-quality coating lasts 10 to 20 years — a highly cost-effective upgrade.

Standard floor paints sit on the surface and are prone to peeling. Epoxy is a blend of resins and hardeners that chemically react, creating a much thicker, impact-resistant bond to the concrete that can handle vehicle traffic.

The process takes 2 to 5 days, largely depending on surface preparation. You can generally walk on the floor after 24 to 48 hours, but wait 5 to 7 days before parking a vehicle or moving heavy items back in.

Hot tyre pickup is when heat from tyres softens cheaper coatings, causing them to bond to the rubber and pull away. Premium coatings like 100% solids epoxy and polyaspartic topcoats prevent this.

A high-gloss floor can be slippery when wet. Non-slip additives such as aluminium oxide or decorative flakes add traction. Keep in mind there is no such thing as an easy-to-clean non-slip surface, so choose what matters most to you.

Traditional epoxy can amber over time under harsh UV. If your garage gets intense sunlight, we recommend a UV-stable topcoat such as polyurethane.

Simply sweep or vacuum regularly, and mop with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent when needed. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals.

DIY kits are budget-friendly, but long-term durability relies on proper concrete grinding and moisture testing. Poor preparation is the leading cause of peeling and bubbling — for a lasting finish, hiring an expert is highly recommended.
