It’s What You Don’t See That Makes the Difference: Why Preparation is Our Secret Sauce

At ProjectCONCRETE, we don’t just do epoxy flooring. We obsess over it. And we reckon that’s a good thing, especially if you’re in industrial, commercial or warehouse spaces where your floors do more than just look good.

They need to work hard. Just like you do.

It’s What You Don’t See That Matters Most

Before the resin rolls on, before the clean lines and perfect finish, there’s prep work. And we’re passionate about getting that part right. Because when it comes to epoxy flooring, a great finish means nothing if it’s built on poor foundations.

Whether it’s a warehouse floor, a commercial kitchen or a logistics hub, the slab underneath is where it all begins.

Why We Never Use Acid Wash

Some companies still rely on acid to prepare their concrete. It sounds scientific, but in reality it’s messy and unreliable. It can leave residue that weakens the bond and often does more harm than good.

At ProjectCONCRETE, we use mechanical surface preparation. Think diamond grinding, shot blasting and powerful vacuums that clean and profile the surface properly. This process ensures your epoxy coating doesn’t just stick to the surface, it locks into it.

For industrial clients, that bond is the backbone of performance. When the prep is done right, you get a floor that handles machinery, traffic and time without complaint.

AFTER: After mechanical prep and a seamless industrial epoxy application, this warehouse floor is clean, level and built to handle heavy-duty operations.

Don’t Cut Corners Where It Counts

We obsess over perfect corners, we don’t cut them. We’ve seen what happens when floors are rushed. Peeling, bubbling, lifting. And it never happens at a good time. Downtime for rework can bring operations to a halt, not to mention safety risks from exposed cracks or damaged surfaces.

Investing in quality preparation and epoxy installation up front protects your business later. It’s the kind of job you only want to do once.

Built for Performance, Not Just Polish

At ProjectCONCRETE, we don’t just finish floors we also fix them when others get it wrong. Not long ago, we were called in to sort out a logistics site where another company had missed the mark on preparation. The floor couldn’t hold up to the load, and things started going south fast.

So, in the middle of a brutal Perth summer, our crew rolled in with shotblasters and industrial vacs, grinding away under the sun. No complaints. Just a team of professionals who understand that doing it right is the only way we do it.

This wasn’t just about appearances. This was a logistics yard where failure meant real consequences: container loads at risk, heavy traffic stalled, potential safety issues, and costly project delays. We knew the stakes. That’s why we worked overtime to put things right without throwing off the client’s timeline.

The truth is, this work isn’t easy. Concrete is stubborn, unpredictable, and sometimes, downright rude! But we’re not deterred. We’re passionate about the tough stuff. We know that every perfectly smooth finish starts with noise, dust, and elbow grease. It’s gritty work, but that’s what sets us apart.

We’d prefer to be your first call, not the rescue team. So if you want a floor that performs from day one, no surprises, no call-backs, start with preparation you can trust. At ProjectCONCRETE, we’re obsessed with doing it right the first time. So next time you see one of our floors gleaming back at you, remember: it’s not just a great coat of resin. It’s the groundwork behind it. That’s our secret sauce. Well, not so secret now.
