Before & After
Recent Work
Commercial floor focus
A quote for Ivanhoe should separate visual finish choices from the technical work required underneath.
The specification emphasis is public access, cleaning frequency, wetness, slip profile, presentation and return-to-service timing.
For service planning, Ivanhoe sits in the Inner Melbourne group, roughly 9 km north-east of the CBD. In the inner-metropolitan band, established slabs, renovations and active homes or businesses make existing coatings and access important quote variables.
For neighbouring enquiries, Eaglemont, Alphington and Fairfield are the closest areas in the service run.

System specification
System pathways for a Ivanhoe floor specification.
The system should be narrowed from the floor’s use, then verified against adhesion, moisture, repairs and cure requirements.
Commercial floor focus
Non-Slip Epoxy Flooring
Balance wet traction with cleanability by matching texture to contaminants, footwear, gradients and cleaning equipment.

Commercial floor focus
Concrete Grinding & Preparation
Establish how much paint, sealer, adhesive, contamination or weak surface material must be removed before coating.
Review the full service scope →Inspection priorities
Four technical checks before the coating build is fixed.
The inspection should resolve these points early so the written scope does not rely on assumptions hidden beneath the coating.
Scope priority 1
Traffic, turning and impact
Foot traffic, vehicle turns, pallet jacks, forklifts and dropped tools create different loading patterns and system requirements.
Quote cue: Describe the heaviest normal use and how often it occurs.
Scope priority 2
Cleaning and texture balance
A more aggressive non-slip profile can improve traction but also holds more dirt and usually needs stronger mechanical cleaning.
Quote cue: State whether the floor is swept, mopped, scrubbed or pressure cleaned.
Scope priority 3
Moisture and vapour risk
Dark patches, efflorescence, damp edges or below-grade concrete can indicate moisture conditions that affect adhesion and coating choice.
Quote cue: Mention any history of dampness, flooding or water entry.
Scope priority 4
Access, parking and equipment movement
Grinding and coating require equipment access, power, dust extraction and a clear route into the work area.
Quote cue: Explain stairs, lifts, shared driveways, parking or restricted access.
Application-specific build
Commercial floor focus: use, loading and preparation requirements.
These application examples identify the information needed before a firm preparation and coating schedule can be written.
| Application or inspection focus | Information required | Specification response |
|---|---|---|
| Retail or showroom | Presentation, foot traffic and public reopening | Smooth preparation, chosen sheen and controlled cure window |
| Back-of-house area | Cleaning, spills, carts and wetness | Texture and build matched to maintenance demands |
| Commercial unit | Mixed foot and vehicle use | Zoned preparation, repairs and application sequencing |
| Inspection priority: Traffic, turning and impact | Describe the heaviest normal use and how often it occurs. | Confirm alongside cleaning and texture balance before fixing the commercial epoxy flooring build |
Programme control
Operational planning before grinders arrive on site.
The quote should distinguish active labour time from cure time and identify when pedestrian, storage, vehicle or operational access can resume.
Foot traffic, vehicle turns, pallet jacks, forklifts and dropped tools create different loading patterns and system requirements. Dark patches, efflorescence, damp edges or below-grade concrete can indicate moisture conditions that affect adhesion and coating choice.
The agreed sequence covers substrate verification, removal and repairs, mechanical profiling, cleaning, coating stages and protected cure. Pedestrian, storage, vehicle and operational handover times are stated separately where the system requires them.
- Describe the heaviest normal use and how often it occurs.
- State whether the floor is swept, mopped, scrubbed or pressure cleaned.
- Mention any history of dampness, flooding or water entry.
- Explain stairs, lifts, shared driveways, parking or restricted access.
Scope clarification
Questions to settle before approving the Ivanhoe scope.
Can an epoxy floor be made non-slip?
Texture can be introduced, but the level should suit wetness, contaminants, footwear and cleaning. More aggressive texture generally requires stronger cleaning.
What causes epoxy flooring to peel?
Common causes include insufficient preparation, moisture, contamination, weak concrete, incompatible existing coatings and returning the floor to service too early.
Will a metallic floor look exactly like the sample?
No. Metallic movement is created during installation, so samples guide the palette and style rather than guarantee an identical pattern.
What happens if moisture is found in the slab?
The source and severity should be investigated before coating. Depending on the condition, the specification may change or the floor may not be suitable until the moisture issue is addressed.
Do you quote both residential and commercial work in Ivanhoe?
Yes. They are scoped separately because preparation, traffic, texture, operating hours and return-to-service requirements can differ considerably.
