Commercial Epoxy Flooring Sydney
Commercial Epoxy Flooring For A Working Site
Got a workshop, a warehouse or a shop where the floor has had it? Bare concrete dusts, and the dust ends up on your stock. Old coatings lift around the roller door. The end of day wash down drags on, because the slab has soaked up oil and will not come clean.
We are based in Kellyville and we do commercial work right across Sydney. We coat warehouses, workshops, commercial kitchens, salons, showrooms and shopfronts, and we work on the concrete that is already there.
Walkways, pallet bays, racking footprints, keep clear zones around switchboards and doors, parking bays in a showroom, or a marked route from the customer entrance to the counter can all be set out while we are on site.

What A Commercial Epoxy Floor Has To Survive
A floor in a working business gets a much harder life than one in a house, and it gets it every single day.
Read more
- Forklifts and pallet jacks: hard wheels run the same lines every day, and that is where a bare slab wears through first.
- Spills and wash down: oil, coolant and detergent sit on a working floor a lot longer than anything would at home.
- Point loads: racking legs, pallets and dropped stock put a whole load onto a few small contact points.
Bare concrete wears down under all of that. It dusts, it stains and it pits along the wheel paths, and the dust it releases ends up in your stock and on your equipment.
Preparing A Commercial Floor That Is Already In Use
Preparation decides how long a commercial floor lasts, and a floor that has been in service is harder to prepare than a fresh slab.
Read more
- Moisture test: we check the slab before choosing a system, because moisture rising through concrete will lift a sealed coating.
- Diamond grinding: we grind the surfaces and edges back to clean, open concrete with vacuum extraction, so the primer can key into the slab.
- Crack and chip repair: cracks and chips are cut out, filled and sanded flush before anything is coated.
- Oil spots: these are ground out and treated separately, because degreasing only lifts what sits on the surface.
On a floor that has been working, preparation also means dealing with what is already in the concrete. Oil that has soaked in has to be drawn out and the contaminated surface taken off, because a coating will not bond to a slab full of hydraulic fluid. Old coatings that are failing have to come up rather than be coated over, and cracks, holes and spalled patches around the door line are filled and made good.
Once the slab is prepared, the floor goes down in layers: an epoxy primer, an epoxy base coat, a full flake, partial flake or no flake broadcast, and then the topcoat.
Grinding concrete is loud, and commercial sites set their own rules for when preparation can happen, so we quote around your site’s hours and its OHS requirements, and we keep dust and noise to manageable levels.
Coating A Commercial Floor Without Closing Your Business
Nobody running a business is weighing up a floor coating on the coating alone. They are weighing up how many days the workshop is not turning over, or how many days the shop cannot open.

That is the conversation we have first. Before anything is quoted we want to know when you trade, what has to keep moving while we are there, and what can be shut down. From there, there are usually three ways to do it.
- In sections: part of the floor stays in use while we move across, so you keep trading while we work.
- After hours: we work while you are closed, and the floor is back under you when you open.
- In a shutdown: if you already have a break booked, the floor goes down in a window you were closing anyway.
Whatever we agree on, you get the timings up front. A coated floor has to cure before it takes foot traffic, and it needs longer again before wheeled traffic goes back on it. Those windows depend on the product and the conditions on site, so we give you the real numbers for your floor and plan the sequence so nothing goes back on the floor too early.
CommercialThe Commercial Floors We Coat In Sydney
Oil sits on top and wipes up, the slab stops generating dust onto your stock and equipment, and a mop or an auto scrubber goes over the surface instead of fighting it.
Warehouse And Small Factory Floors
Hard wheels, pallets and dropped stock wear a warehouse floor along the same lines every day. A flake epoxy floor with a hard topcoat takes that traffic and stops the slab dusting onto your stock.
Read more
Workshop Epoxy Flooring
A mechanical or trade workshop floor takes hard wheels, dropped tools and oil every day, so a flake epoxy floor is what we put down. We prepare the slab first so the coating bonds to clean concrete.
Commercial Kitchen And Salon Floors
Commercial kitchen and salon floors get washed down constantly, so they are sealed properly to stop water and product getting into the slab. We can add grip to the topcoat where the floor gets wet.
Showroom Epoxy Flooring
Customers see a showroom floor, so the finish matters. A metallic epoxy floor usually looks better in a showroom than a flat colour, and parking bays or walkways can be line marked once the floor is coated.
Retail And Shopfront Floors
Customers walk across a shopfront floor all day. A sealed epoxy floor has no open surface for spills to soak into, so it wipes clean.
CommercialChoosing The Topcoat For A Commercial Epoxy Floor
The topcoat is the layer your traffic actually runs on, so we choose it for how the floor is used.

Polyurethane is the standard topcoat for homes. It helps prevent discolouration, protects the floor from UV and adds a layer of hardness. Polyaspartic is the heavier duty option. It is more chemical resistant and more impact resistant, which is why we mainly use it on commercial floors and floors with higher foot traffic.
- Non-slip: we can work an anti-slip additive into the topcoat where the floor gets wet, so it still has grip underfoot.
- Slip certification: for areas that require slip certification, a quartz additive gives the floor a P4 slip rating.
- Chemical resistant: if the floor takes chemicals regularly, a polyaspartic topcoat is built to handle them rather than soften.
Our preferred coating system comes from All Purpose Coatings. We have completed APC’s epoxy flooring training, and our coating work is backed by a written 7-year product warranty.
Line Marking And Floor Definition
Line Marking On A Commercial Epoxy Floor
Once a floor is coated, the line marking can go straight onto it.
Non-Slip Commercial Floors
A commercial floor has people moving on it while carrying things, and often moving on it while it is wet.
Commercial Kitchen Floors And Wash Down Areas
Bare concrete is porous.

How A Commercial Epoxy Floor Goes From Booking To Finished
Get a Free QuoteHow long the floor takes comes down to the slab and how big it is. A newer floor with sound, clean concrete moves quickly. A large older floor takes longer, and any cracks or chipped out holes have to be filled and left to cure before anything goes over them. Moisture in the slab, the number of cracks and any existing paint on the floor all add preparation, and existing paint needs another round of grinding. We work the staging out with you so the site keeps trading where it can.
#1. Site Visit
We come out, look at the slab, test for moisture and talk through how the site is used. The quote follows the visit, not photos.
#2. Written Quote

Why Customers Choose Evo Over The Rest
What Makes Us Different
Our aim is a floor that still holds up and looks right years after we have finished it.
Preparation Comes First
Coatings fail at the bond, not in the coating itself. Every Evo floor is diamond ground back to open concrete, the cracks are repaired and the slab is moisture tested before any epoxy goes down.
Real Dates, And We Keep Them
We give you real dates. You will know when we arrive, how long we need, and when you can walk on the floor and park on it.
Commercial Grade Products Only
We do not use retail kits. Our coatings are commercial grade, Australian made epoxy and polyurethane systems, and we can show you the data sheet for whatever goes on your floor.
One Crew From Quote To Warranty
Your quote, your floor and your warranty all sit with one team. The people who quote the floor are the people who lay it, and we do not subcontract.
An Epoxy Floor Coating Built To Last
Every floor starts with diamond grinding and a moisture test, and we only use industrial grade Australian made coatings. That is why we can put a written 7-year product warranty on it.
76 Epoxy Floor Colours
Choose from 76 colours across flake, metallic and solid finishes, and we bring the samples to your floor before you decide.

Commercial Epoxy Flooring Questions
Can You Work Around Our Trading Hours?
Yes. We stage the work around when you trade, so the floor can go down in sections or outside business hours where that is what the site needs. We plan the staging with you before anything starts, so you know which areas are out of use and when.
How Long Before We Can Use The Floor Again?
Foot traffic comes back well before vehicle and forklift traffic, because the coating keeps hardening after it feels dry to walk on. How long depends on the system going down and the conditions on the day, so we confirm the actual dates once we have seen the floor.
Can You Coat A Floor That Already Has Oil And Years Of Traffic On It?
Usually yes, and a floor that has been in use is normal for us. Oil contamination has to be dealt with before anything goes down, and the slab is ground back so the coating bonds to clean concrete rather than to whatever is sitting on top of it.
Do You Do The Line Marking As Well?
Yes. Walkways, pallet bays, exclusion zones and safety markings go down while we are on site to coat the floor, so there is no second trade to book in afterwards and no waiting for someone else to come back.
Which Topcoat Goes On A Commercial Epoxy Floor?
We mainly use a polyaspartic topcoat on commercial floors and floors with higher foot traffic. It is more chemical resistant and more impact resistant than the polyurethane topcoat we use on most homes.
