Epoxy garage floors & fit-outs
A garage floor that shrugs off hot tyres, oil and tools — and, if you want it, the storage to match. We grind the slab back to sound concrete, lay a high-build flake or polyaspartic system, and can fit out the walls so the whole space works, not just the floor.
Images on this page are indicative renders to show finish and style — not photographs of completed Terralume jobs. We're a new local business and we'll never present an AI render as a real job. Real product samples and references are brought to every quote.
0 peeling, dusting or hot-tyre lift
The right floor for a working garage
Bare concrete dusts, stains and soaks up every oil drip; thin garage paint peels within a season. A ground-and-coated flake epoxy floor is sealed, wipeable and tough enough for cars, trolleys and dropped tools.
- Sealed against oil & chemicals. Spills sit on top and wipe away instead of soaking into porous concrete.
- Tough under vehicle loads. A high-build system over a properly ground slab carries cars and 4WDs and resists hot-tyre pickup.
- No more concrete dust. Sealing the slab stops the fine grey dust bare concrete sheds onto everything you store.
- Flake hides the everyday. The vinyl-flake finish disguises minor marks and grit far better than a flat solid colour, and adds grip.
- Finished to match. Optional wall storage, cabinets and shelving turn it into a proper fit-out, not just a coated floor.

How a Terralume garage floor is built up
We'd rather be straight than oversell: the floor lasts because of the grind and the system, not a thick-sounding sales pitch. Here's the typical build-up — confirmed for your slab and against the product data sheet.
Diamond-ground High-build epoxy Flake or polyaspartic Verified against the TDS
- Mechanical prep. Diamond grinding to an open profile, plus crack, joint and pop-out repair before any coating.
- High-build system. Primer and high-build epoxy body coat for adhesion and thickness, then your chosen finish.
- Finish & topcoat. Full broadcast or blend flake, sealed with a hard-wearing clear topcoat; anti-slip additive where you want grip.
- Verified, not guessed. Primer, coverage and cure are confirmed against the manufacturer's data sheet on every job.

An honest word on cure. “Walk-on” is not “park-on”. Standard epoxy reaches vehicle-ready strength over several days, and cold weather slows it further. A polyaspartic system cures faster if a quick turnaround matters. We give you the real return-to-service times for your floor before we leave — we won't tell you it's ready early.
Common garage-floor questions
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about epoxy garage floors and fit-outs.
Is an epoxy floor better than just painting the garage slab?
Yes — and it's a different thing entirely. Hardware-store “garage paint” is a thin single-part coating that peels under hot tyres and lifts at the first oil drip. We mechanically grind the slab and lay a high-build epoxy system with a hard topcoat, which bonds into the concrete and stands up to vehicle traffic, tools and chemicals. The prep is the reason one lasts and the other flakes.
How long until I can use the garage again?
It depends on the system and the weather, but as a guide you can usually walk on it the next day and return vehicles after roughly 3–7 days for a standard epoxy build. A fast-cure polyaspartic system can shorten that considerably. “Walk-on” isn’t “park-on” — we give you the real return-to-service times for your floor before we leave.
Will hot tyres lift the coating?
Hot-tyre pickup is the classic failure of cheap garage paint. A properly prepared, high-build epoxy with the right topcoat is chosen to resist it — but preparation is everything, which is why we grind rather than etch. We’ll spec the system to suit how you use the garage.
Is it slippery when wet?
A high-gloss floor can be slick with water on it, so where that matters we add a fine anti-slip aggregate into the topcoat to lift grip. We’ll talk through the trade-off between a glassy show finish and everyday grip for your space.
Can you do the storage and cabinets too, not just the floor?
Yes — that’s the “fit-out” part. We can pair the floor coating with wall-mounted storage, cabinetry and shelving so the whole garage is finished as one project rather than a floor with clutter on it. Tell us how you want to use the space and we’ll scope it.
What does an epoxy garage floor cost?
It depends on the slab condition, the size, the system and whether you add storage — so we quote each garage individually rather than a misleading “from” figure. The big variables are how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs and which finish you choose. Every quote is fixed and written before you commit.

Reviews coming soon
We're a new local business, and we'd rather show you real, verified garage-floor reviews than invent them. As we hand over our first projects, genuine customer feedback goes here — names, suburbs and all.
No paid placements, no stock photos and no made-up quotes. Until those first reviews land, the best measure of our work is the spec we put in writing and the plain-language guarantee we stand behind — both of which you can hold us to.
Ready to finish the garage properly?
Tell us about your garage — the slab, the size, and whether you want storage too. We'll assess the concrete, talk finishes and grip honestly, and put the system, finish and timeline in a fixed written quote backed by our 5-year written workmanship guarantee.
