Imagine stepping out onto a patio that's not only beautiful to look at but can also handle the demands of Australian outdoor living, including intense UV rays and even the occasional drink spilled from a backyard BBQ. Sounds pretty ideal, right? Epoxy flooring for patios makes all of that possible.

If you've been thinking of revamping your patio floor, this guide will tell you why epoxy flooring is fast becoming a favourite for outdoor living.

The Benefits of Epoxy Flooring for Outdoor Spaces

Durability

Outdoor surfaces need to be tough to handle the challenges of outdoor living in Australia, and epoxy floors have what it takes to do the job. They're super durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, direct sunlight, and heavy foot traffic with ease. And, unlike natural materials that can crack or warp under stress, epoxy flooring maintains its integrity all year round, even under big temperature variations.

Slip Resistance

Safety is a big priority in outdoor areas, especially in spaces that are likely to get wet. Epoxy has an excellent level of slip resistance, but it can also be enhanced by adding slip-resistant coatings or texture into the mix, making it possible to create a safer surface that reduces the risk of slips and falls.

Low Maintenance

Nobody wants flooring that needs constant upkeep, and because epoxy is so low maintenance, all you'll need to do is give it a quick sweep or mop to keep it looking its best. Even if something gets spilled on it, a wipe with a cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning solution is all that's needed, and because it is naturally stain-resistant, you won't need to spend hours scrubbing to get it back to its former glory.

Super Stylish

Epoxy flooring isn't just practical; it's also beautiful to look at! There are loads of options available to choose from, and you can create something truly unique with epoxy flake flooring or even mimic the look of natural materials. This level of customisation is ideal if you've got a specific planting or landscaping theme in place and want your patio floor to match.

What is Included in DC Decorators' Epoxy Patio Flooring Service?

Transforming your patio with epoxy flooring doesn't have to be a stressful experience, and at DC Decorators, we follow a simple 7-step process to take care of every detail without causing disruption to your usual routine. This is what you can expect when you work with us:

1. Consultation

Every project begins with a consultation, during which we'll sit down with you and chat about your outdoor space and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll then guide you through your epoxy flooring design options, discuss why epoxy flooring is a great choice for your patio, and help you make an informed decision.

2. Quote

After your consultation is complete, we'll provide you with a detailed, no surprises quote that breaks down all the costs in an easy to understand way. This quote is free, and without obligation, and if you need it in a hurry, we can send it within 24 hours of your initial consultation.

3. Lock In Project Time Frame

If you're happy with the quote, we'll lock in a time frame that works for you. We can work around your schedule if needed, keeping stress levels low and keeping you informed at every stage so you'll know what's happening and when.

4. Surface Preparation

When work starts, we'll begin by expertly preparing the floor surface so it is ready to receive the epoxy coating. This will involve deep cleaning, removing any existing coatings that could affect adhesion, and repairing any cracks, holes, or imperfections we find. The result is a perfectly-prepped surface primed for the epoxy application.

5. Priming

With the surface fully prepped, the next step is to apply a primer coat. This helps the epoxy adhere properly to the concrete and plays a big role in the overall durability of your floor. It also seals the surface to help prevent bubbles or imperfections from forming in the topcoats. Once the primer is down and cured, the floor is ready for the epoxy to work its magic.

6. Epoxy Application

This is where the transformation begins! We'll mix the epoxy resin and hardener and apply it evenly across the prepared surface. This process may involve multiple layers, each of which we'll apply expertly to make sure you get that beautiful, seamless, durable surface.

6. Epoxy Curing

We'll then allow the epoxy coating to cure so it can reach its maximum strength and durability. We won't just step away from the project completely during this stage, though! We'll monitor and keep a close eye on what's happening to make sure everything is setting and adhering as it should.

7. Handover & Invoice

With your epoxy flooring fully cured, we'll walk you through everything and ensure you're completely satisfied with the result. We'll also provide you with tips and all the information you need to keep your patio floor looking great. We will hand over our final invoice along with information on our five-year extended warranty.
