Looking for a hard-wearing, seamless floor that shrugs off traffic, spills and forklifts? Epoxy flooring bonds a resin coating directly to your concrete to create a dense, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and built to last. Goliath Coatings installs epoxy flooring across Auckland for warehouses, workshops, garages, showrooms and commercial kitchens.
What epoxy flooring does for your concrete
Bare concrete is porous — it absorbs oil, dust and moisture, and it wears down under traffic. Epoxy flooring seals it under a tough, chemical-resistant film that resists abrasion, staining and impact. The result is a floor that stays cleaner, reflects more light, and removes the constant dusting and pitting that bare slabs suffer in busy commercial spaces.
Our epoxy floor installation process
Durability lives or dies on preparation. We diamond-grind the slab to open the concrete profile, fill cracks and joints, then prime and build the epoxy in coats to the thickness your use demands. For heavy-traffic sites we add a hard-wearing topcoat; for wet areas we broadcast an anti-slip aggregate. Every system is applied to manufacturer specification so it bonds for the long term rather than peeling in a year.
Where epoxy flooring suits best
Epoxy flooring is the workhorse of industrial and commercial floors: warehouse and factory floors that take forklift and pallet traffic, garage and workshop floors exposed to oil and chemicals, retail and showroom floors that need a clean reflective finish, and food-prep areas that must be hygienic and washable. Where a floor sees UV or constant sunlight we recommend a polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat to stop yellowing.
The products and systems we use
Industrial epoxy is only as durable as the system specified and the prep underneath it. For warehouses, workshops and garages we use hard-wearing systems such as Sika Sikafloor MultiDur ES-15 and the versatile coloured Sikafloor-264 Plus, self-levelling Mapei Mapefloor I 302 SL for a smooth seamless finish, and low-odour waterborne Resene Aquapoxy where occupied spaces rule out solvents. Every floor starts with mechanical preparation — grinding or shot blasting to the right profile — so the coating bonds and stays bonded.

Epoxy flooring FAQs
Q: How long does epoxy flooring take to install?
A: Most floors are done in two to four days depending on size, slab condition and the system — grinding and priming day one, build and topcoat over the following days, then cure before full traffic.
Q: Is epoxy flooring slippery when wet?
A: It can be, so for wet or wash-down areas we broadcast a fine anti-slip aggregate into the topcoat to give grip without losing cleanability.
Q: How long will an epoxy floor last?
A: With correct preparation and the right system for the traffic, a commercial epoxy floor commonly lasts 10-15 years or more before it needs a refresh coat.
Q: What epoxy do you use on a warehouse floor?
A: Usually Sikafloor MultiDur ES-15 or Sikafloor-264 Plus, or a self-levelling Mapefloor system for a glass-smooth finish — chosen to the traffic, chemicals and downtime you can allow.
