Make an Impact with High Gloss Epoxy Flooring

In industrial and commercial settings, performance is always the priority. But with the right flooring system, you can still achieve a clean, professional finish. High gloss epoxy flooring systems offer the best of both worlds: a professional finish that’s as durable and safe as it is visually striking.

At Ascoat, we help clients achieve that sleek, high-performance look without sacrificing functionality. Whether you’re designing a showroom, upgrading a warehouse entry, or refreshing common areas in a facility, our high gloss epoxy floors are built to perform.

What is High Gloss Epoxy Flooring?

Gloss epoxy flooring refers to a type of resin-based floor coating that delivers a shiny, mirror-like finish. Applied in layers over a prepared substrate, gloss epoxy coatings cure to form a hard, seamless surface that reflects light and enhances the overall appearance of a space.

We often use the term epoxy gloss finish to describe floors that are not only bright and aesthetically pleasing but also resistant to dirt, scuffs, moisture, and wear. With the right installation and maintenance, your shiny epoxy floor will continue looking fresh for years to come.

Why Choose a Gloss Epoxy Finish?

There are many reasons clients opt for high gloss epoxy coatings over matte or semi-gloss finishes. The key advantages include:

High visual impact: Gloss floors reflect more light, helping to create a bright, professional look that’s ideal for showrooms, commercial offices, and clean zones.
Easier to keep clean: The smooth surface of gloss epoxy resists dirt and scuff marks better than matte coatings, making cleaning easier and reducing the need for recoating.
Longer-lasting finish: These floors tend to maintain their “new” look for longer, giving you an excellent return on your investment.
Customisable looks: From high gloss clear coats over coloured epoxy to decorative flake or metallic systems, we can tailor your epoxy gloss flooring to suit your branding or design goals.

Safety and Gloss: You Can Have Both

One of the biggest myths about high gloss epoxy is that it’s slippery. While it’s true that poorly installed gloss floors can pose a hazard, we know how to get the balance right at Ascoat. We combine the visual benefits of a shiny epoxy floor with the performance of a safe, non-slip surface by incorporating texture during installation or including a non-slip topcoat in the system design. This means you don’t have to choose between style and safety.

Where Can High Gloss Epoxy Flooring Be Used?

Gloss epoxy finishes are suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments, especially where cleanliness and presentation are important. Common applications include:

Showrooms and reception areas
Pharmaceutical and cleanroom facilities
Warehouses, distribution centres, and logistics hubs
Education and healthcare environments
Office lunchrooms, bathrooms, and hallways

What Makes a Gloss Epoxy Floor Last?

At Ascoat, our focus is always on long-term performance. While gloss epoxy coatings may look sleek, their real value lies in what’s underneath. We ensure every system we install includes:

Thorough surface preparation
Moisture and substrate assessments to avoid future failures

The outcome is a gloss epoxy floor that looks impressive and handles foot traffic, forklifts, and chemicals with ease.

Testimonials

Ascoat have recently completed a large floor coating project in a new formulating and filling facility. The total area of around 2400 m2 included both epoxy and urethane flooring, including stairways with variations on non-slip finish to suit the environment. The work was staged and included specific timing for access to work in existing operational areas. All work was completed to specification and to a high standard. The cooperation and flexibility from Ascoat was vital as access dates varied with both the construction schedule and our production schedule.

We were impressed by the responsiveness, professionalism and technical knowledge of the Ascoat team. I would be pleased to recommend Ascoat Industrial Floor Surfacing as a contractor that delivers what they promise, to a high standard, in a professional manner.

Mick and the fantastic team get the job done on time and on budget

Known Mick and the boys for a while now, they are willing to do anything for you, great and friendly staff

Ascoat were great to work with on a complex project in the middle of other construction work. Quality of work and anti-static end result were excellent.

Ascoat meticulously, and with much finesse, completed the tasks on time and within nominated budget, totally in line with all company policies, permits, SWMS, etc. Would not hesitate to utilise their services on any other project in future requiring their expertise. Well done guys.

Good morning Laurence As you are aware, the work has been completed here. We are quick to complain but not so with praise. I would like to register my appreciation for the site team lead by Brandon. The quality of the finished product and the way the Ascoat staff conducted themselves was exemplary. I can’t speak highly enough of all those that attended site, particularly your foreman. It was a pleasure having your company here.
