METALLIC EPOXY FLOORS

Metallic epoxy floors are a high-end flooring solution that combines durability with a stunning, three-dimensional appearance. These floors are created by mixing metallic pigments into a clear epoxy, which is then poured and manipulated to create flowing patterns, swirls, and depth effects that mimic marble, stone, or even liquid metal. The process begins with meticulous preparation: the concrete surface is mechanically ground or sanded to remove any coatings, stains, or imperfections. Cracks and chips are filled, and the surface is cleaned thoroughly to ensure the epoxy bonds properly. Once the base coat is applied, the metallic epoxy is poured and artistically blended, followed by a protective clear topcoat that enhances shine and durability. This attention to prep work is crucial—without it, even the most beautiful metallic design can fail to last.

Compared to flake epoxy floors, metallic epoxy offers a sleeker, more decorative finish that’s perfect for showrooms, garages, kitchens, and commercial spaces where visual impact is important. Flake epoxy floors, on the other hand, incorporate vinyl or acrylic flakes broadcast over a colored epoxy base coat, creating a speckled, textured surface that is slip-resistant and hides dirt or imperfections more easily. While metallic epoxy excels in delivering a luxurious, seamless look, flake epoxy is more practical for heavy-duty environments or high-traffic areas due to its extra grip and camouflage for wear and tear. Both options require the same thorough surface preparation for longevity, but the choice comes down to whether you want the bold, artistic elegance of metallic epoxy or the rugged, functional appeal of flake epoxy.
