Epoxy Driveways.

An epoxy driveway doesn’t just look good, it stands strong under the rigours of daily use without staining or cracking.

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice when they pull up outside your home. A modern and stylish driveway that matches the look of the place creates a favourable first impression for everyone from visitors to potential future home buyers. Yet good looks are only part of the equation. A driveway has to be durable, well-built and robust to withstand both the daily weight of heavy vehicle loads and the harsh UV rays of Queensland’s sun. Concrete can crack and gravel can fly about, but epoxy driveways combine practicality and aesthetics successfully.The Sunshine Coast’s original same-day epoxy flooring installers, Epoxy Flooring Projects can provide you with a fresh new-look driveway that lasts for as long as you live in the house. Servicing not just the Sunshine Coast but areas like Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Epoxy Flooring Projects can build you a driveway that suits the look and feel of your home and raises its resale value. If your driveway is looking a bit worn, drab or out of style, one of our epoxy driveways might just be the upgrade that you need. 

The benefits of epoxy driveways

Both commercial and residential epoxy flooring are popular in Australia, and it’s not hard to see why. Epoxy is exceptionally durable, easy to clean and stain-resistant, and the right top coat can make it slip-resistant as well. Here are some of the biggest advantages to investing in an epoxy driveway:

It’s extremely strong

‍Driveways frequently have to support heavy vehicles, sometimes for most of the day. Epoxy driveways reinforce the integrity of the concrete beneath them and resist buckling, scratches and other common issues that affect driveways. 

‍It’s low-maintenance 

Epoxy driveways are among the easiest kinds of driveways to clean. The material is resistant to dirt and oil stains and you’ll find that a simple sweep or mop is enough to keep it clean. 

Weather-resistant

An epoxy driveway is designed to withstand whatever the weather can throw at it. In South East Queensland, that means heat, humidity, heavy rain and other sometimes intense conditions. Our Epoxy systems are made with UV-resistant material, so the hot sun won’t cause your new driveway to fade.  

Slip-resistance

An epoxy driveway system includes slip-resistance to help prevent slips, skids and other potential driveway accidents, especially in wet conditions. 

Aesthetics

Epoxy provides a sleekly elegant, contemporary driveway surface that’s perfect for the modern home. 

How epoxy compares to traditional driveway materialsThe benefits of epoxy are even clearer when you compare it to traditional driveway methods. Concrete cracks and stains over time. Pavers can shift out of place and require more maintenance to keep them neat and even. Asphalt driveways can slowly degrade under the steady heat of the sun. Our coatings can also go on asphalt and prevent this. Epoxy avoids all of these issues and the result is a driveway with a longer life span that stays attractive and unblemished for many years to come. 

The epoxy driveway process

‍Epoxy coating is a popular way to resurface a driveway, cover up its cracks and stains and strengthen it for maximum durability and longevity. For best results, it’s best to leave coating your driveway in the hands of a professional. While different professionals can take different approaches to applying epoxy, here’s a short rundown of the general process: 

Preparing the surface

This involves cleaning the driveway and filling any cracks to make sure the epoxy adheres properly to the concrete. 

Readying the coating

This is the step that involves mixing the resin and hardener correctly so that it’s ready to apply. 

Apply the epoxy

Using a roller, brush or  sprayer, the tradesperson working on your driveway will apply the coating across the whole surface using varying methods to suit the situation and desired aesthetic. 

Allow the driveway to dry

Once the epoxy is cured, the driveway is ready to use.
