Merrimu · Melton & Bacchus Marsh
Long-term coating performance begins with a clean, sound and appropriately profiled substrate, not with a thicker decorative top layer. The planning process for Merrimu should also account for single and double garages, newer estates, sheds, home gyms, workshops and local business floors.

Assessment before colour selection
Merrimu requires the same disciplined sequence as any quality resin-floor project: document use, assess the substrate, specify preparation, identify exposure and set realistic cure milestones. Access width, steps, stored items, fixed cabinetry, neighbouring finishes and the route for grinding equipment should be photographed before scheduling.

The cards below cover the decisions that should appear in a useful quotation rather than relying on one product name or square-metre rate.

Static cracks, movement joints, spalls and structural concerns are recorded separately because they require different responses.

Perimeters, corners, thresholds, drains, stairs and fixed objects need compatible preparation—not only the open field of the floor.

Substrate before decoration
For Merrimu, preparation should be selected after checking the slab rather than copied from another property. New construction dust and plaster residue can be as relevant as old oil or paint because both interfere with coating adhesion if they remain on the slab.
New construction, stored items, broad driveways, side access and scheduling around household use should be discussed during the site review. Temperature and ventilation can change cure behaviour, so the handover date should be based on the named product rather than a generic promise.
The page is designed to help a local customer prepare an accurate enquiry rather than manufacture false local proof.

Scope first, price second
A price for Merrimu should follow the documented preparation and coating build. A professional comparison includes surface preparation, edge work, crack treatment, number of layers, topcoat, texture and cure—not square metres alone.

Before requesting a quote
Mechanical preparation removes weak or incompatible surface material and creates a profile that helps the specified coating bond to sound concrete.
For Merrimu, not as a universal substitute. Mechanical preparation provides more controlled removal and profiling for many resin-floor applications.
Surface contamination may be reduced, but deep oil penetration can remain within the slab and may limit coating suitability.
No. Static cracks, active movement joints and structural defects are different conditions and should not receive one identical treatment.
Professional equipment commonly uses suitable extraction and staged cleaning, but the exact control plan depends on access, area and the existing substrate.
