Why Brisbane suitability matters: Brisbane's subtropical climate means high UV exposure, humidity above 60% for much of the year, and flood risk in low-lying suburbs. Flooring that performs well in temperate climates may deteriorate faster here. Epoxy and polished concrete systems are among the most resilient options for Southeast Queensland conditions.
