Question 1

Is solid colour epoxy right for my project?

Accepted Answer

Solid Colour Epoxy suits garages, workshops, warehouses, commercial spaces 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 solid colour epoxy cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Solid colour epoxy in Sydney costs $25 to $60 per square metre installed. It is the most cost-effective epoxy system that still delivers a professional, durable finish, making it the standard choice for warehouses, workshops, dealership service bays, and utility commercial spaces.

Question 4

What colours are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer a full range of standard and custom colours. Greys, charcoals, and whites are the most popular, but any colour can be mixed to match your requirements — including brand colours, safety colours (yellow, red, green), and zone-coding for warehouses.

Question 5

Will a solid colour floor show marks?

Accepted Answer

Lighter colours show dust more easily, while darker colours show scratches. Mid-tone greys and charcoals are the most forgiving. A satin finish also helps conceal minor marks compared to high gloss.

Question 6

Can I choose a satin finish instead of high gloss?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer high gloss, semi-gloss, and satin finishes. Satin is popular for residential garages and warehouses as it conceals minor imperfections; high gloss is preferred for showrooms and retail spaces where light reflection is desirable.

Question 7

Is solid colour epoxy suitable for Sydney warehouses and factories?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Solid colour epoxy is the standard floor coating for Sydney warehouses, factories, distribution centres, and workshops. We specify higher-build systems (1.5 to 2mm) with polyurethane topcoats for forklift wear and impact resistance, and add line marking, walkways, and zone colours as part of the install.

Question 8

How long does a warehouse solid colour epoxy floor take to install?

Accepted Answer

A 500sqm warehouse solid colour epoxy install typically takes 3 to 4 days, working in sections to keep operations running. Day 1 is grinding, day 2 is primer and first body coat, day 3 is second body coat, and day 4 is topcoat. Forklift use is available 72 hours after the topcoat is laid.

Question 9

Solid colour epoxy vs polished concrete for a Sydney workshop?

Accepted Answer

Solid colour epoxy is typically chosen when you want a sealed, easy-to-clean, chemical-resistant surface in a specific colour — ideal for workshops, mechanical bays, and food production. Polished concrete is chosen when natural concrete aesthetics, lowest lifetime maintenance, and very high abrasion resistance are the priorities.
