How Epoxy Flooring Can Help You Save Money in the Long Run

Seamless, modern, and durable. Those are just a few descriptions of epoxy flooring systems. This kind of flooring system has been gaining popularity all over the world for its well-polished finish while being able to withstand extensive damage for long periods.

What more could you look for in a floor, right? But how do you know if you get your money’s worth when we install this system for either residential or commercial purposes?

Let’s take a closer look at what this floor coating offers.

The Types of Epoxy Flooring

There are so many floor coatings and systems out there, so what makes this finish different from the rest? This is when resin and hardener are mixed to form a substance much like plastic to create a glossy and strong coating. There are many types of epoxy concrete floor coatings, a few examples are the following:

Epoxy Flake Coating

Epoxy flake flooring is a high-performance, strong, long-lasting and low-maintenance concrete coating. Flake floors are made up of decorated epoxy flakes that are specially prepared with epoxy coating to create an attractive, seamless and easy-to-maintain floor surface.

Our Flake Epoxy coatings are offered in a range of colours and multiple sizes of flakes that you’re able to personalise to suit your needs.Often used in both residential and commercial areas, Flake coatings are an ideal choice to enhance the look of your garage floor or any other concrete floor.

Epoxy Screed Coating

Industrial Epoxy floor coating is an ideal floor coating for garage floors, heavy-duty industrial areas as well as food environments and can be an inexpensive alternative to installing wash bays in existing concrete slabs. Screed resins are hard-wearing resin that provides chemical and slip resistance as well as hygienic finishes.

Non-Slippery Floor Coating

To meet workplace health and safety regulations, often a non-slip application to your concrete floors is necessary to keep your staff and customers safe. At Signature Substrates, we work with you to devise an appropriate plan maximising the protection of all who walk over the surface.

Now let's dive into the benefits of epoxy flooring and how it can help businesses save money in the long run.

Benefits of Epoxy

Durability: Epoxy flooring is known for its exceptional durability. When installed correctly, it can withstand heavy equipment, constant foot traffic, and other forms of wear and tear without breaking or showing signs of damage. This longevity helps businesses save money on frequent floor repairs or replacements.

Resistance to Chemicals: Epoxy flooring is highly resistant to chemicals, making it suitable for environments where exposure to harsh substances is common. It can withstand the corrosive effects of chemicals without deteriorating or getting damaged, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Safe Working Environment: Safety is a top priority in any business setting. Epoxy flooring offers slip-resistant properties, which help create a safer working environment by reducing the risk of accidents and injuries caused by slips and falls. Fewer accidents mean fewer associated costs, such as medical expenses and workers' compensation claims.

Fast Application: Unlike some flooring options that require extensive downtime for installation, epoxy flooring can be applied quickly. This means businesses don't have to close down for an extended period, minimising disruptions and potential revenue loss.

Easy Maintenance: Epoxy flooring is easy to maintain, thanks to its smooth and non-porous surface. Unlike porous concrete surfaces, epoxy floors do not harbour bacteria, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of contamination. This eliminates the need for specialized cleaning products and extensive maintenance efforts, saving businesses both time and money.

Extra Illumination and Increased Productivity: Epoxy flooring has a reflective surface that can enhance lighting conditions in a workspace. The increased brightness reduces the need for additional lighting fixtures

- M & S. Marks – Central Coast, NSW

“Trent and his team are not just contractors to us, they became temporary pieces of furniture in our home (even joining us for breakfast!) The overall experience in the delivery of our new polished concrete floors was very refreshing. We would highly recommend this company!!”

- Morena Family – Ormeau, QLD

"Trent was very professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented. He developed a plan for our floor, provided quotes and completed the work on time. He listened to our concerns, was always available to answer questions and kept us up to date throughout the project.

His team of Alex and Haydon were equally professional and communicative and did an outstanding job. The resulting work was impeccable and exceeded our expectations as the epoxy concrete floor looked better then when we first built the house. My family was over the moon to have the missing piece of their home back --- better than ever!

We would not hesitate in recommending Trent and his team!"

- Chess Ritchie - Brisbane

"We just had Trent and Aaron come to prepare our outdoor area for tiling. It had an ancient covercrete coating that was in terrible repair.

We did not know what would be the best option for us to update this surface.From the very beginning and through to finalising the transaction, Trents attention was faultless. He listened to our ideas and made suggestions based on his experience that were helpful for us to make a decision on what to do with our outdoor surface.

He gave us detailed and accurate quotes that included exactly what we would receive in several options for the project. This helped us come to the best solution for our outdoor area. Once we booked with Signature Substrates the execution of the work was excellent. They were on time, tidy, helpful, courteous and professional. The price was competitive.

The work once completed was impeccable. The concrete underneath was so beautiful we actually regret not polishing the concrete and having decided on tiling the area, but the tiles were already purchased! We would strongly recommend using Signature Substrates for you concrete renovations and enjoying your stress free transaction and excellent results in your renovation project. They also offer a test patch service to help you decide what to do.

We will definitely be contacting Trent when we are ready to look at options for the interior surface of our home. Thank you Trent and Aaron."
