Food-Grade Epoxy Flooring in Sydney

About Food-Grade Epoxy Flooring

Food-grade epoxy flooring provides the seamless, impervious, easy-to-sanitise surface that commercial kitchens, food-processing facilities, bakeries, cold stores and beverage plants need to meet hygiene and food-safety requirements. Food environments demand a floor with no cracks, joints or pores where bacteria, moisture and food residue can collect — and one that withstands constant wash-downs, hot and cold spills, fats, oils, acids and heavy cleaning chemicals. A correctly specified food-grade system delivers exactly that: a hygienic, durable, slip-resistant floor that supports a HACCP-based food-safety program.

The defining features are seamlessness and coving. We install the floor as a continuous, jointless surface and form coved skirting up the walls so there are no 90-degree floor-to-wall junctions to trap debris — the floor and cove wash down as one impervious surface. The system itself is typically a high-build epoxy or aggregate-filled epoxy mortar chosen for impact, thermal-shock and chemical resistance, with anti-slip aggregate built in at a level appropriate for wet, greasy kitchen and processing floors where slip safety is a daily reality.

Hygiene and safety drive every detail. The impervious surface resists bacterial harbourage and is easy to clean and sanitise; antimicrobial additives are available where specified; and the slip resistance is tuned for the wet, oily conditions of a working food floor to protect staff. The system is engineered to handle thermal shock from hot wash-downs and cold-room conditions, the acids and fats of food production, and the heavy traffic of trolleys, racks and equipment — all while remaining straightforward to keep clean to audit standard.

These are demanding installations and preparation is critical: diamond grinding or shot-blasting, crack and joint repair, moisture testing and priming, plus careful detailing of coving, drainage falls and equipment penetrations. We understand food businesses can’t close for long, so we program work around production schedules and use faster-curing systems where downtime must be minimised. We carry $20 million public liability cover and work to SafeWork NSW requirements. If your kitchen or facility floor needs to meet hygiene standards and survive the conditions, book a free on-site assessment and we’ll specify a food-grade system to suit.

Coating Systems for Food-Grade Epoxy Flooring

We recommend the right system for how you use the space and the condition of your slab. The systems best suited to food-grade epoxy flooring are:

• Epoxy Mortar Systems — Aggregate-filled, trowel-applied high-build epoxy for extreme compression, impact and wear — and for rebuilding damaged slabs.
• Solid Colour Epoxy — A clean, uniform single-colour high-build epoxy for a crisp commercial-look floor that brightens the space and cleans easily.
• Anti-Slip & Safety Coatings — Graded aggregate bound into a coating to deliver measurable AS 4586 slip resistance for ramps, wet areas, kitchens and pool decks.

Surface Preparation Comes First

The single biggest factor in whether your food-grade epoxy flooring lasts is what happens before the coating goes down. We diamond-grind the concrete to the correct CSP 2–3 profile, moisture-test the slab, structurally repair cracks and joints, and apply a penetrating primer. Skipping any of this is exactly why cheap coatings bubble, peel and delaminate within months. Read more about how we prepare concrete.

Pricing & Timeframe

As a guide, food-grade epoxy flooring typically costs from around $45–$110 per m², depending on the system, the size of the area and the condition of the concrete. Every quote is a fixed price confirmed after we inspect your floor in person — there are no hourly surprises. Most commercial floors are staged around your operations, and every job is backed by our 10-year written warranty and $20 million public liability public liability cover.
