Epoxy Garage Floors
in Coburg
Coburg’s mix of period homes and newer townhouses means a wide variety of garage types. Metal and Flake handles all of them, with the same 7-year guarantee and 1 to 2 day installation.
Serving Coburg and Surrounds
Coburg shares its housing stock with Brunswick next door: interwar californian bungalows, postwar brick homes, and a good number of Victorian and Edwardian properties closer to Sydney Road. Garages are mostly single, mostly detached and mostly original, with rear or side access down a driveway that is often narrower than a modern double garage would ever need.
The recurring issue on Coburg slabs is age combined with the absence of any moisture barrier. Concrete poured from the 1930s through the 1950s frequently sits directly on ground with no membrane at all, so moisture moves up through the slab continuously. On bare concrete nobody notices. Under a coating applied without testing, it is the single most common reason a floor blisters and delaminates a year or two later.
What that means for your Coburg garage floor
We moisture test older Coburg slabs before we quote a system, not after we have taken a deposit. If the reading is high there are systems that will tolerate it and systems that absolutely will not, and it is a great deal cheaper for everyone to establish that at quoting stage. Where a slab is sound and dry, an old bungalow garage takes a flake system extremely well.
- Moisture testing standard on every pre 1960 slab
- System matched to the actual moisture reading, not assumed
- Narrow side driveway and detached garage access catered for
- Old bungalow garages restored properly rather than resurfaced badly
Why do you need to moisture test an old Coburg garage slab?
Because most of them were poured before damp proof membranes were standard, so they sit directly on ground and move moisture upward continuously. You never notice on bare concrete. Under a coating chosen without testing, that moisture is the single most common cause of blistering and delamination twelve to twenty four months later. Testing takes very little time at quote stage and it determines which system will actually hold. It is the cheapest part of the whole job and the one most often skipped.
We also regularly install across Brunswick, Moreland, Pascoe Vale, and Fawkner.
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.
