The story behind Atomic Flooring
Built on Family. Grounded in Excellence.
Some businesses are built around a boardroom table. Ours was built around family conversations, big dreams, hard work, and a dad who believed in what his children could achieve.
It started with Dad.
Long before Atomic Flooring became the business it is today, there was Roahre Jansen, a father with a vision, a strong work ethic, and two children who would one day carry that vision forward.
For Roahre and his daughter Roxy, talking business was never just about numbers, profit margins or what the next project might bring. It was about building something meaningful. Something that would last. Something that could become a legacy.
And at the heart of those conversations was always Shonn.
There was a plan, even in the early days. Shonn would be the one to lead the way, to be the face of the business, to take the knowledge, experience and values passed down to him and turn them into something exceptional.
Roxy would help build the foundations behind the scenes, bringing structure, strategy and the determination to make things work.
Dad brought the vision. Roxy brought the drive to help build it. And Shonn brought the hands-on passion to bring it all to life.
Three different strengths. One shared dream.
Nothing worthwhile was ever built without a little dust.
Atomic Flooring wasn’t built overnight.
Behind the finished floors, beautiful transformations and happy customers are years of hard work, long days, difficult decisions, lessons learnt and the kind of determination that doesn’t disappear when things get tough.
There have been early mornings, late-night conversations, jobs that tested everyone’s patience, and moments when the only sensible thing left to do was laugh.
And there has been plenty of laughter.
Because the Jansens have always believed that you can take your work seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
But when it comes to quality? That’s where the joking stops.
Every project, whether it’s a residential screed floor, a bespoke microcement finish, a commercial installation or an epoxy flooring solution, carries the same expectation: do it properly, take pride in it, and never settle for good enough.
It’s a principle that has shaped Atomic Flooring from the beginning.
A brother and sister. An unbreakable bond.
Today, Atomic Flooring is carried forward by Shonn and Roxy, two siblings who share far more than a surname.
They share a history, a sense of humour, a fierce loyalty to one another, and an unbreakable bond that has become one of the business’s greatest strengths.
Shonn is the man on the ground. He’s the one meeting clients, solving problems, guiding the team, getting his hands dirty and making sure every finish meets the standards the family believes in.
Roxy works behind the scenes, helping steer the business, challenging ideas, planning what’s next and making sure the bigger picture never gets lost in the day-to-day.
And although their roles are different, their worlds are never far apart.
They still talk multiple times a day.
Sometimes it’s about a project, a client, a new opportunity or a problem that needs solving. Sometimes it’s a quick check-in that turns into a much longer conversation. And sometimes it’s simply to have a laugh about something that probably wouldn’t make sense to anyone else.
That’s family.
They challenge each other, support each other and occasionally drive each other a little mad. But when it matters, they’re always on the same side.
Because Atomic isn’t just something they run together.
It’s something they believe in together.
Dad’s legacy is in the details.
Losing a father changes a family. But it doesn’t erase the things he taught you, the conversations you shared or the plans you made together.
Roahre’s influence remains part of Atomic Flooring.
It’s there in the decisions that are made, the standards that are upheld and the determination to keep building a business he would be proud of.
It’s in Shonn’s commitment to his team and his clients.
It’s in Roxy’s determination to keep the business moving forward.
And it’s in the understanding that a good reputation isn’t something you can buy. It’s something you earn, one promise, one project and one relationship at a time.
There are still moments when Roxy and Shonn wish they could pick up the phone and tell Dad about a great job, a new idea or a particularly challenging day.
And perhaps that’s part of what makes this business so personal.
They’re not simply building a company.
They’re continuing a conversation that started with their dad.
Our reputation is personal.
At Atomic Flooring, excellence isn’t a slogan we put on a website. It’s what we expect of ourselves, our workmanship and the experience we give our clients.
We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built across Cape Town and the Western Cape, particularly the trust that comes from customers recommending us to friends, family and colleagues.
Our customers regularly recognise the qualities we work hard to deliver: professional service, clear communication, genuine care, beautiful finishes and a team willing to go the extra mile.
That means more to us than any advertising campaign ever could.
Because when your family name and your father’s legacy sit behind a business, every job matters.
Whether we’re transforming a family home, creating a seamless microcement interior, restoring a tired surface or delivering a hard-wearing commercial floor, we approach the work with the same pride.
No shortcuts. No unnecessary fuss. Just good people doing exceptional work.
And yes, probably a few laughs along the way.
More than floors. A family story still being written.
Atomic Flooring has grown through hard work, resilience, experience and the belief that doing things properly will always matter.
But beneath the concrete, screed, epoxy and beautifully finished surfaces, the real foundation of this business has never changed.
It’s family.
It’s a father who saw a future worth building.
It’s a brother who leads with his hands, his heart and his commitment to excellence.
It’s a sister who stands firmly beside him, making sure that future keeps moving forward.
And it’s the knowledge that, whatever challenges come their way, Shonn and Roxy will face them the same way they always have.
Together.
Built with pride. Driven by excellence. Held together by family.
Atomic Flooring. The art of flooring, with a little heart behind every finish.
A personal note
A little note from the Jansens
We may spend our days talking about floors, finishes, deadlines and the occasional concrete-related crisis, but underneath it all, we’re still just a brother and sister trying to make our dad proud.
We work hard. We care deeply. We laugh often.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
