A practical guide to garage epoxy flooring in Melbourne, including preparation, hot tyres, flakes, cure time and maintenance.
Start with the concrete
Before choosing colour, check the slab. Old paint, sealers, oil contamination, cracks and weak surface material can affect adhesion and preparation.
Why decorative flakes are popular
Flake systems create a multi-tone finish and can make dust, small marks and everyday variation less visually obvious. The final appearance depends on the chosen blend and broadcast density.
Hot tyres, spills and real garage use
A garage floor sees vehicle tyres, oil, water, tools and storage. System selection should match the actual use instead of treating every garage the same.
Plan the cure window
Ask when you can walk on the floor, move items back and park vehicles. Cure time varies by system and conditions, so plan around the product actually being installed.
