How to Choose the Right Resin Floor System for Your Project
Whether you’re upgrading your warehouse, garage, retail space, or commercial kitchen, choosing the right resin flooring system can make all the difference in durability, safety, and aesthetics. But with so many options available, from flake epoxy to polyaspartic systems, how do you know which one is best for your project?
At ProjectCONCRETE, we install a wide range of epoxy floor systems in Perth and wider WA, and each one serves a specific purpose depending on the setting, the desired finish, and the type of foot or vehicle traffic involved.
Here’s a breakdown of the most popular resin floor options and where they work best.
1. Flake Epoxy Floors
Best for: Garages, retail spaces, commercial kitchens, showrooms
Flake epoxy is a popular choice thanks to its textured finish, which offers both visual appeal and added slip resistance. Decorative flakes are broadcast over a coloured base coat and then sealed with a clear topcoat. It’s one of the most versatile options, with endless colour combinations and the ability to disguise dust and imperfections.
Â
âś… Durable
âś… Low maintenance
âś… Stylish finish
âś… Non-slip
âś… Great for both residential and commercial epoxy floors
2. Solid Colour Epoxy
Best for: Workshops, mechanical areas, warehouses
This is your no-fuss, heavy-duty option. A solid colour epoxy floor offers a clean, professional look in one consistent tone. It’s commonly used in commercial and industrial settings where functionality takes priority but a sleek finish is still appreciated.
Â
âś… Seamless and easy to clean
âś… Strong chemical resistance
âś… Cost-effective for large areas
âś… Customisable colour palette
3. Clear Coat Epoxy
Best for: Highlighting polished concrete or decorative substrates
A clear epoxy or polyurethane topcoat enhances the natural look of a concrete slab or a decorative underlay. It creates a glossy, protective barrier that resists stains and wear while letting the beauty of the base material shine through.
Â
âś… UV-stable options available
âś… Adds depth and gloss
âś… Easy to maintain
âś… Great for contemporary or industrial design aesthetics
4. Metallic Epoxy
Best for: High-end retail, cafés, lobbies, showrooms
Metallic epoxy offers a dramatic, high-gloss finish that looks almost like liquid metal or marble. It’s created by blending metallic pigments into clear epoxy, which is then manipulated to create swirls, waves, or cloudy effects.
Â
âś… Luxury look
âś… One-of-a-kind finishes
âś… Eye-catching for client-facing spaces
âś… Seamless and hygienic
5. Polyaspartic Coatings
Best for: Time-sensitive jobs, outdoor areas, warehouses
Polyaspartic systems are similar to epoxy but offer even faster cure times and better UV stability, making them ideal for Perth’s sunny conditions. They’re a smart choice when you need minimal downtime or want to coat outdoor surfaces.
Â
âś… Fast drying: walk-on ready in hours
âś… Excellent UV resistance
âś… Durable and abrasion resistant
âś… Can be used as a topcoat or full system
6. Industrial Non-Slip Coatings
Best for: Warehouses, food production, wet zones
For high-traffic commercial and industrial environments where safety is paramount, we offer heavy-duty non-slip resin floors. These typically include a broadcast of silica or aggregate for traction and may be built up in multiple layers to suit harsh environments.
âś… High slip resistance
âś… HACCP-compliant options available
âś… Long-lasting under heavy machinery
âś… Custom grip levels based on area use
Which System Is Right for You?
Choosing the right resin system depends on a few key factors:
What is the space used for?
(e.g. foot traffic, forklifts, food prep)What look are you going for?
(e.g. modern and sleek vs. textured and industrial)How fast does the job need to be completed?
(e.g. polyaspartic might be ideal if time is tight)What level of slip resistance is required?
(e.g. kitchens and wet zones need more grip)
We’re happy to walk you through your options and provide recommendations based on your needs and budget. Every floor we install uses industrial-grade prep and premium materials to ensure a long-lasting result.
