Epoxy Garage Floors
in Hawthorn
Hawthorn’s character homes and renovated terraces often feature garages that haven’t kept pace with the rest of the property. Metal and Flake changes that with a fast, clean epoxy installation.
Serving Hawthorn and Surrounds
Hawthorn is dense period housing, Victorian and Edwardian through the older streets with substantial interwar homes and a heavy overlay of apartment and townhouse conversion. Garaging is at a premium and it shows: narrow single garages, rear laneway access, converted stables and outbuildings, and basement parking under the newer apartment developments along Glenferrie and Burwood Roads.
Access is the defining constraint in Hawthorn. Narrow blocks, tight rear lanes, shared driveways and heritage overlays all limit what can physically be brought onto a site and how the work has to be sequenced. The slabs themselves are frequently very old, poured in sections, without a membrane, and in converted outbuildings they are sometimes not really a garage slab at all but a floor that has been pressed into service.
What that means for your Hawthorn garage floor
We plan access before we quote rather than turning up and discovering the problem. That means confirming laneway width, gate clearance and where equipment can be staged. On very old or converted slabs we grind back and assess honestly, and if the concrete underneath is not sound enough to hold a coating for the length of our guarantee, we tell you that instead of taking the job.
- Laneway, shared driveway and gate access confirmed before quoting
- Converted stables and outbuilding floors assessed on their merits
- Sectional and pre membrane slabs ground back and moisture tested
- Heritage overlay properties worked around carefully
Access to my Hawthorn garage is very tight. Can you still do the job?
Usually, but we confirm it before quoting rather than turning up and finding out. Narrow blocks, rear laneways, shared driveways and heritage overlays are normal in Hawthorn and they affect what equipment we can get in and how the work has to be sequenced. Send us a photo of the approach and the gate or send us the address and we will look. It is a much better conversation to have at quote stage than on the morning of the install.
We also regularly install across Camberwell, Kew, Glenferrie, and Richmond.
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.
