Frequently Asked Questions About Pangaea Floors

Does Pangaea Floors service areas outside Melbourne's metro region?

Pangaea Floors operates nationally across five major cities — Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. Their Richmond base is the hub for coordinating projects interstate, with teams mobilising to handle both residential and commercial polished concrete installations. This reach makes them useful for property developers or franchise operators needing consistent flooring finishes across multiple locations. Travel logistics and scheduling vary by city, so contacting them early for interstate projects ensures availability.

What makes Pangaea Floors' overlay systems different from traditional polished concrete?

Pangaea Floors specialises exclusively in polished concrete veneer systems rather than grinding existing slabs. This overlay approach involves applying a thin concrete layer over existing floors, then polishing to the desired finish. It's particularly suited to older homes or commercial spaces where the original slab is cracked or uneven. The veneer method avoids demolition, delivers faster turnaround, and achieves the same sleek modern look as full-depth polishing, making it ideal for renovations or shopfront makeovers.

How does Pangaea Floors' Global Greentag Certification Level C impact their materials?

The Global Greentag Certification Level C signifies that Pangaea Floors uses materials meeting specific environmental and health standards, including low VOC emissions and reduced toxicity. This certification is relevant for commercial projects requiring green building credits or residential clients concerned about indoor air quality. The concrete overlays and sealants they apply align with sustainable construction practices, though the certification level indicates mid-tier environmental performance rather than the highest tier available in the Greentag framework.

Can Pangaea Floors handle high-traffic commercial spaces like retail shopfronts?

Pangaea Floors regularly installs polished concrete in commercial environments, including retail shopfronts where durability and appearance matter. Their overlay systems are engineered for heavy foot traffic, resisting scuffing and maintaining gloss under daily wear. The easy-maintenance aspect appeals to shop owners — spills wipe clean, and routine mopping keeps surfaces pristine without specialist products. We've noted their work extends to office fit-outs and hospitality venues, where both aesthetics and longevity are critical.

What's the typical project timeline for Pangaea Floors to polish a residential extension?

For residential projects like house extensions, Pangaea Floors typically requires several days to complete installation and polishing, depending on floor area and curing times. The overlay process involves surface preparation, pouring the veneer layer, allowing it to cure, then grinding and polishing in stages to achieve the desired sheen. Locals who've worked with them mention the process is less disruptive than full slab replacement, with most homes ready for furniture within a week. Exact timelines depend on square meterage and weather conditions affecting curing.
