Epoxy Flooring is a resin-based coating system typically created by combining Epoxy Resin and Hardener. When these components are mixed, a chemical reaction begins and, once cured, creates a strong, seamless and durable surface.
Epoxy is commonly applied over concrete and other correctly prepared surfaces and can transform an old, plain or worn floor into a cleaner, more modern and professional-looking surface.
In recent years, epoxy flooring has become increasingly popular because of its durability, wide range of colours and finishes, modern appearance and versatility across residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Epoxy flooring creates a continuous surface without the multiple grout lines found in many traditional flooring systems. Depending on the selected system, it can provide a durable and easy-to-maintain finish while dramatically improving the appearance of an existing floor.
Different epoxy formulations and systems are available, and the correct choice depends on the existing substrate, intended use, traffic, environmental conditions and desired appearance.
Professional surface preparation is one of the most important factors in achieving a high-quality and durable epoxy floor.
Applications
Where Is Epoxy Flooring Used?
Epoxy systems are used across a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial environments.
Epoxy technology is also widely used in specialised industrial protective coatings, including selected applications involving water, oil and gas pipelines.
Our Systems
Types of Epoxy Flooring We Install
At DaniCrete, we provide professional Epoxy Flooring services across Sydney in three main finishes:
Each system has a different appearance and application and is selected according to the existing surface, intended use and desired finished result.
Epoxy flake floor finish
System 1 of 3
Epoxy Flake Flooring
Epoxy Flake Flooring is one of the most popular and versatile epoxy flooring systems.
The system combines an epoxy coating with decorative flakes to create a modern, multi-coloured and textured floor finish.
After the surface has been correctly prepared, the epoxy coating is applied and decorative flakes are broadcast across the surface. The appropriate protective finishing system is then applied to complete the floor.
The result is a seamless and professional finish that combines visual appeal with practical performance.
One of the major advantages of Epoxy Flake is the wide range of colour combinations available.
Flake colours can be selected to complement walls, cabinetry, building colours or the overall design of the property.
The multi-coloured finish can also make small marks, dust and minor variations less noticeable than on a completely solid-colour floor.
Where the existing surface, preparation requirements and selected coating system are suitable, Epoxy Flake can also be considered for selected driveway applications — transforming an old or plain concrete driveway into a cleaner, more modern and decorative surface. DaniCrete completed a real Epoxy Flake driveway in Gladesville, Sydney.

Real Project
Epoxy Flake Over Existing Tiles
Some existing tiled surfaces may be suitable for an Epoxy Flake system without completely removing and replacing the tiles. The condition, stability and adhesion of the existing tiles is assessed first; suitable damaged sections can be repaired or stabilised and the surface correctly prepared before the epoxy system is installed. In suitable projects this can reduce the need for extensive demolition, disposal of old materials and a full replacement floor.
DaniCrete completed a real project in Silverwater, Sydney, where an existing tiled walkway was prepared and resurfaced using an Epoxy Flake system.

Keep the Tiles. Transform the Floor. Save on Replacement.
Plain Epoxy Flooring creates a clean, smooth and uniform solid-colour floor finish without decorative flakes.
It is an excellent option for projects where a simple, professional and consistent appearance is preferred.
Plain Epoxy can be produced in a range of colours and is particularly suitable for environments where functionality, cleanliness and a professional floor appearance are more important than decorative patterns.
Because Metallic Epoxy generally requires more specialised materials, additional design work and a more detailed installation process, it is typically more expensive than standard epoxy systems.
For this reason, Metallic Epoxy is most commonly used in premium commercial, luxury and feature projects. It is also occasionally used in residential interiors where the client wants a highly distinctive and luxurious floor.
Fully Customisable
Custom Metallic Epoxy Designs
One of the major advantages of Metallic Epoxy is the high level of customisation available.
Different metallic pigments, colours and application techniques can be combined to create completely individual finishes.
Marble Effect
Create sophisticated flowing patterns inspired by natural marble.
Smoky Metallic Effect
Create soft, smoky movements and layered visual depth.
Flowing Colour Effect
Create natural flowing movement between multiple colours.
High-Gloss Metallic Finish
Create a deep, polished and highly luxurious visual finish.
Because the metallic pigments naturally move during installation, every completed floor is unique.
Performance
Durable, Seamless & Easy to Maintain
Metallic Epoxy is not only selected for its appearance.
When professionally installed over a correctly prepared surface using an appropriate coating system, it can create a seamless protective floor finish that is easier to maintain than many traditional flooring surfaces.
The absence of multiple grout lines also contributes to its clean and continuous appearance.
The quality of an epoxy floor depends heavily on correct surface preparation.
Before installation, the existing surface should be assessed for:
Existing Coatings
Contamination
Oil or Grease
Cracks
Damaged Sections
Moisture Conditions
Overall Substrate Condition
Where required, mechanical grinding is used to prepare the existing surface and create an appropriate profile for coating adhesion.
Suitable cracks and damaged sections can then be repaired or stabilised before the selected epoxy flooring system is installed.
Installation
Correct Conditions Matter
Temperature, surface condition and moisture can affect the installation and curing of epoxy flooring.
Very cold conditions can slow the curing process, while very high temperatures can cause the material to react more quickly and reduce working time.
Excessive moisture within the concrete can also affect the performance and adhesion of the coating.
Once the Epoxy Resin and Hardener are combined, the curing reaction begins and the material must be installed within the appropriate working period.
After installation, the floor must be given sufficient time to cure before being exposed to heavy traffic or vehicles.
Preparation Matters. The Finish Shows It.
Choosing a System
Which Epoxy Flooring Is Right for You?
The most suitable system depends on the existing surface, intended use, traffic, project conditions, desired appearance and budget. At DaniCrete, the existing surface and intended use are assessed before we recommend the most appropriate epoxy flooring system.
