Epoxy Garage Floors
in Craigieburn
Craigieburn’s new estate homes often come with plain concrete garages. Metal and Flake upgrades them to a sealed, hardwearing epoxy finish in 1 to 2 days, with a 7-year guarantee included.
Serving Craigieburn and Surrounds
Craigieburn is almost entirely modern estate housing. The overwhelming majority of what we coat here was built from the mid 1990s onward, which means integrated double garages, relatively young slabs, consistent construction and internal access straight into the house. It is one of the more predictable suburbs we work in and that predictability is genuinely worth something at quoting stage.
The catch with newer slabs is that people assume new means ready. A young slab is often still curing and releasing moisture well into its second year, and nearly every estate garage is finished with a hard power troweled surface that is deliberately dense and closed. Paint and roll on kits sit on top of that surface instead of bonding into it, which is exactly why so many of them peel away in sheets. Craigieburn also sees a wide temperature swing across the year.
What that means for your Craigieburn garage floor
Mechanical preparation solves the troweled surface problem completely. Diamond grinding opens the concrete up so the primer can key into it, and that is the difference between a coating that lasts and one that lifts in its first hot summer. On slabs under two years old we moisture test as a matter of course and we will hold off rather than coat something that is not ready yet.
- Estate double garages quoted as a standard single pour
- Power troweled surfaces mechanically opened, never just etched
- New slabs moisture tested before we commit to a system
- Polyaspartic topcoat handles the local temperature range
My Craigieburn house is new. Is the slab ready to coat?
Sometimes, and sometimes not, which is why we test rather than assume. Concrete continues releasing construction moisture well into its second year, and coating too early is a reliable way to get blistering. If your slab tests too high we will tell you to wait rather than take the job and watch it fail inside the guarantee period. The other new build issue is the power troweled surface, which is dense and closed and has to be mechanically ground before anything will bond to it.
We also regularly install across Roxburgh Park, Mickleham, Donnybrook, and Broadmeadows.
Two Finishes. One Standard.
Every Metal and Flake installation uses the same preparation process and the same 7-year guarantee. The difference is in the finish you choose.

From bare concrete to finished floor in 4 steps.
We measure your floor, assess the concrete, and give you a fixed written quote with no hidden costs.
Diamond grinding opens the concrete surface for maximum adhesion. Cracks and spalling are repaired before any coating is applied.
Primer, base coat, your chosen finish, and a polyaspartic topcoat are applied in the correct sequence and allowed to cure fully.
We walk you through the finished floor, hand over your written 7-year guarantee, and leave the site clean.
Results that speak for themselves.
The floor looks incredible. They prepped it properly, the finish is perfect, and it was done in a day and a half. Could not be happier.
I had three quotes and Metal and Flake were the only ones who talked about surface prep in detail. That made the decision easy. The result is exceptional.
