When specifying flooring for bathrooms, amenities, or ablution blocks, the first thing to consider is who will be using the facility. Is it part of an office fit-out, a school, an educational facility, or a mining site? The end use determines the balance between aesthetics, slip resistance and toughness.

  • Office spaces: Design and appearance are often top priorities.
  • Schools and educational facilities: A mix of safety, slip resistance and style is essential.
  • Mining or industrial sites: Hard-wearing solutions that can withstand harsh conditions take priority.

Are Tiles or Vinyl Really the Best Choice?

Traditionally, these areas have been finished with tiles or vinyl, but these materials aren’t always ideal.

  • Tiles and grout are porous, which can harbour bacteria and promote mould growth.
  • Vinyl welds can split over time, compromising hygiene and appearance.

Seamless, hygienic epoxy flooring systems from APC offer a modern alternative, backed by over 20 years of success in Australian conditions.


Office Amenities

For office bathrooms and amenities, aesthetics are often the key focus. Our Ultra Flake or Hyper Flake Systems:

  • Come in multiple colour options and finishes.
  • Are fully customisable to match your office’s unique style.
  • Provide a smooth, seamless finish that’s easy to maintain.

Schools and Educational Facilities

Educational facilities need floors that are safe, slip resistant and visually appealing. APC brings a fresh, modern approach to traditionally dull spaces:

  • Grip Finish options help prevent slips in high-traffic areas.
  • Multiple colour and design options allow schools to move beyond the “same old” systems.
  • Ultra Flake or Hyper Flake systems are built to handle heavy foot traffic while maintaining their look and functionality.

Tough Environments: Ablution Blocks

For high traffic, demanding areas like ablution blocks, we recommend the 1-2mm Epoxy Matrix System:

  • Available in plain or coloured options with Quartz for extra slip resistance.
  • Strong enough to withstand harsh conditions and repeated cleaning.
  • Provides a seamless, easy to maintain surface with no grout or joins to worry about.

Many of our systems are APAS Accredited, making them suitable for larger government projects including schools. They’re also UV stable and protected with top coats, ensuring long-lasting performance.


Proudly Australian Made

All APC systems are manufactured locally in Queensland, so you can trust the quality, support, and suitability for Australian conditions.

In summary: Choosing the right flooring for bathrooms, amenities, or ablution blocks starts with understanding the facility’s users and their needs. APC offers seamless, hygienic solutions that balance style, safety and performance, ensuring your floors look great and perform for years to come.
