Choosing The Right Floor
Which Flooring is Right For You?
Epoxy flooring's popularity in demanding industrial environments like warehouses and factories throughout Perth stems from its durability and ease of maintenance. While incredibly resilient, withstanding heavy use and harsh conditions, it benefits from regular care to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Whether you've recently installed an epoxy floor or are considering it, this guide from SureCoat Epoxy Flooring provides essential cleaning and maintenance protocols to protect your investment from accidental damage and maximise its lifespan.
Epoxy or Polyaspartic Floor?
The best flooring choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
Choose Epoxy if: You're looking for a cost-effective flooring solution for interior spaces, such as garages, workshops, or showrooms, and want a wide range of design options. You also don't need the floor to be cured and ready for use immediately.
Choose Polyaspartic if: You need a fast-curing, highly durable, and UV-resistant flooring solution for high-traffic areas, outdoor spaces, or environments exposed to harsh chemicals. This is especially good for Perth homes given the harsh sun.

Non-Slip options
Epoxy's impermeable surface resists most substances, making it ideal for industrial settings like warehouses and food processing plants. However, prompt spill cleanup is crucial to prevent staining or discoloration from aggressive chemicals, fuels, or oils. Implement a routine sweeping schedule to remove dust and debris. Abrasive particles can prematurely age the surface, so use a soft-bristled mop or broom. While epoxy floors handle temperature extremes, heavy equipment, and high traffic, gentle cleaning is key.
​
​Use only warm water and cleaning products recommended by your flooring company.
The right cleaners will ensure your epoxy floor stands the test of time.
