Want a floor that looks as good as it performs? Decorative concrete turns a plain slab into a designed surface — from metallic and flake-finish floors to polished and coloured concrete. Goliath Coatings installs decorative concrete floors across Auckland for homes, showrooms, retail spaces and hospitality fit-outs.
Decorative concrete options we install
Decorative concrete covers several finishes, each with its own look and feel: decorative flake systems that hide imperfections and add subtle texture and grip; metallic epoxy floors with deep, marbled, seamless colour; coloured and stained concrete; and polished concrete for a natural, low-maintenance sheen. We match the finish to your interior, traffic and budget.
Looks and performance together
A decorative floor still has to work. Every system we lay seals the concrete against stains and dust, resists abrasion, and can be finished with an anti-slip additive where grip matters. You get the designer appearance you want with the cleanability and durability of a proper resin or polished system underneath.
Preparation makes the finish
Decorative finishes are unforgiving of poor prep — every flaw telegraphs through a glossy coat. We diamond-grind the slab, repair cracks and pinholes, and control each step so the final finish is even and flawless. The result is a floor that photographs well and wears well.
The products and systems we use
Decorative floors combine durability with finish. We broadcast Mapei Mapeflakes SP acrylic flakes into Mapefloor epoxy and PU systems, install quartz-and-epoxy Mapefloor Compact for a hard-wearing textured floor, and seal flake or quartz bases such as Sika Sikafloor-264 Plus under a clear Sikafloor-510 topcoat. The result is a seamless, easy-clean floor with the colour and texture to match a retail, showroom or hospitality fit-out.
Why choose Goliath Coatings
Decorative and polished floors are a specialty. We combine a hard-wearing resin floor with a finish that actually looks the part — flake, quartz or polished looks built to handle real traffic, not just photograph well. Free on-site assessment, one-business-day response, and 5-star Auckland reviews.
Decorative concrete FAQs
Q: Which decorative concrete finish is most durable?
A: Polished concrete and metallic epoxy are both very hard-wearing; flake systems add grip and hide wear. We match the finish to your traffic and look.
Q: Is decorative concrete slippery?
A: A gloss finish can be, so we add a fine anti-slip additive in entries, wet areas or wherever grip is a priority.
Q: Can you work with my existing slab?
A: Usually yes — once we grind and assess it, most slabs in sound condition take a decorative finish beautifully.
Q: Are flake floors hard-wearing or just decorative?
A: Both — a flake or quartz system (Mapeflakes SP, Mapefloor Compact) is a full epoxy/PU build sealed under a tough clear topcoat, so it looks the part and takes commercial traffic.
Q: What determines the cost?
A: Floor area, the condition of the slab (repairs and grinding needed), and the system you choose — epoxy, flake or polyurethane. After a free assessment you get a firm per-project quote, not a vague rate.
Q: Is the work guaranteed?
A: Yes — our workmanship is guaranteed and we install proven systems from leading suppliers. Goliath Coatings is fully insured, Tōtika accredited and Site Safe certified.
