Metallic epoxy uses pigment suspended in a self-leveling base to create depth and movement in the floor. No two floors look the same. Popular in showrooms, high-end garages, and residential living spaces. We'll bring samples so you can see how the light interacts before committing.
Metallic epoxy is a 100% solids epoxy base with metallic pigment mixed in. As the base self-levels during installation, the pigment moves and settles in organic patterns — creating the appearance of flowing liquid metal, marble veining, or clouds depending on the color and technique used.
The effect is best described in person, which is why we always bring samples before quoting a metallic job. The way light hits the finished floor changes throughout the day, and no photograph fully captures it. We also bring a fan deck of metallic color options — gold, silver, charcoal, bronze, copper, and custom blends.
Metallic epoxy requires a perfectly flat, clean slab and meticulous application. It is not a DIY-friendly product. The self-leveling base moves fast and the pigment distribution depends on applicator technique. We've done hundreds of metallic installs — garages, basements, commercial showrooms, and residential kitchens.
Everything we get asked before a metallic epoxy job.
Close, but not identical. The organic movement in metallic epoxy means each floor is unique. We can hit the same color family and general character, but exact replication isn't possible — and that's part of the appeal.
The base surface is smooth, similar to polished concrete. We can add an anti-slip additive to the topcoat without affecting the visual significantly. We recommend it for any space that may see wet conditions.
Sweep and damp mop. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals. A pH-neutral cleaner once a week is all it takes. The topcoat protects the metallic layer completely.
In most cases, no. The slab needs to be bare concrete, properly ground and profiled. Existing coatings, tile adhesive, or paint need to be ground off first.
