Question 1

Is quartz epoxy flooring right for my project?

Accepted Answer

Quartz Epoxy Flooring suits commercial entries, showrooms, retail, gyms, garages when the existing substrate, traffic load, and finish expectations match the system. Surface Master checks preparation requirements, access, cure timing, and maintenance needs before recommending a scope, so the quote is based on performance rather than guesswork.

Question 2

What preparation is included before work starts?

Accepted Answer

Every project starts with a substrate assessment and preparation plan. Depending on the surface, this may include grinding, cleaning, repair review, moisture checks, masking, and staged access planning. Your written quote confirms inclusions, exclusions, finish options, and expected handover timing before work proceeds.

Question 3

How much does quartz epoxy flooring cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Quartz broadcast epoxy in Sydney costs $65 to $110 per square metre installed. Pricing reflects the higher material cost of quartz aggregate, the multi-coat seal system, and the heavy-duty polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat required for commercial-grade performance.

Question 4

What is the difference between quartz and flake epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Quartz epoxy uses natural stone granules for a textured, earthy appearance and superior slip resistance. Flake systems use vinyl chips for a smoother decorative look. Quartz is typically chosen for commercial entries, wet areas, and food-safe spaces; flake is more common in residential garages and showrooms.

Question 5

How slip-resistant is quartz epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Quartz epoxy provides excellent slip resistance due to the natural texture of the quartz granules — typically P4 to P5 rated. It is one of the most slip-resistant decorative flooring options available, suitable for ramps, commercial kitchens, pool surrounds, and wet processing areas.

Question 6

What colours are available in quartz epoxy?

Accepted Answer

We offer a range of natural quartz blends from light creams and tans to greys and charcoals. Custom blends can be created to match specific design requirements such as branding, wayfinding, or zone identification in commercial fitouts.

Question 7

How long does quartz epoxy flooring last?

Accepted Answer

Properly installed quartz epoxy flooring lasts 15 to 25 years in commercial settings and even longer in residential applications. Lifespan is driven by substrate preparation quality, the seal coat thickness, and the topcoat selected for the traffic profile.

Question 8

Is quartz epoxy suitable for Sydney commercial kitchens and food production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quartz epoxy is commonly specified for Sydney commercial kitchens, bakeries, breweries, and food production where HACCP support is required. It can be installed with coved skirting and chemical-resistant topcoats to meet food safety and washdown requirements.

Question 9

How long does quartz epoxy take to install?

Accepted Answer

A typical quartz epoxy install takes 3 to 5 days. Day 1 is diamond grinding and repair, day 2 is primer and quartz broadcast, days 3 to 4 are clear seal coats, and the final day is the topcoat. Light foot traffic at 24 hours, full commercial use at 72 hours.
