Is epoxy flooring suitable for outdoor areas in Sydney?

Yes, we offer specialized UV-stable epoxy and polyurethane systems designed specifically for outdoor applications in Sydney's climate. These systems resist fading, yellowing, and degradation from sun exposure while maintaining their durability and appearance.

Our outdoor epoxy solutions are ideal for:

  • Pool decks and surrounds
  • Patios and alfresco areas
  • Walkways and pathways
  • Outdoor kitchens

For outdoor installations, we typically recommend a polyurethane topcoat over the epoxy base for enhanced UV protection and weather resistance.

Do you provide warranty on epoxy flooring installations?

Yes, Epoxy Flooring Syd provides a 5-year warranty on workmanship for all our installations. This warranty covers delamination, excessive wear, and other issues related to installation quality. We also pass through manufacturer warranties on the products used.

Our warranty covers:

  • Delamination (separation of epoxy layers or from the substrate)
  • Excessive cracking or peeling
  • Premature wear under normal usage conditions
  • Color fading (interior applications only)

The warranty does not cover damage from impacts, chemical spills not disclosed during consultation, or improper maintenance and cleaning methods.

How do I maintain my epoxy floor?

Epoxy flooring is remarkably easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is all that's needed to keep your floors looking great. Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or vinegar as they may damage the epoxy surface over time.

Maintenance tips:

  • Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove abrasive particles
  • Clean spills promptly to prevent potential staining
  • Use soft-bristled brushes or pads for cleaning
  • Place protective pads under furniture and equipment
  • Avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor

We provide detailed maintenance instructions with all our installations to help you maximize the life of your epoxy floor.

Can epoxy flooring be installed over existing tiles?

Yes, epoxy flooring can be installed over existing tiles in many cases, saving you the cost and mess of tile removal. However, the tiles must be firmly adhered to the substrate, and the surface must be properly prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy system.

The process typically involves:

  • Thorough cleaning of the tile surface
  • Mechanical grinding to create a profile for adhesion
  • Filling grout lines to create a smooth surface
  • Repairing any loose or damaged tiles
  • Applying a specialized bonding primer

Our experts will assess your existing tiles during the quote process to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.
