EXPERT EPOXY FLOORING
METALLIC EPOXY
Looking for an attractive flooring option that is also built to last? While decorative epoxy is our number one answer to this question, metallic epoxy flooring is a step above and beyond! Metallic epoxy is not only attractive, durable, and resistant but also has an almost universally attractive look that can fit into any home or business.
Whether you are looking for commercial or residential flooring, you don’t have to sacrifice the WOW factor for usability. Epoxy has you covered on both fronts. Before we continue on to the other awesome benefits of metallic epoxy, here’s a little more about what it is.
What is Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy flooring, sometimes referred to as coating, is created by applying a clear epoxy protective layer colored with metallic powder over a current concrete installation. Its design typically looks almost like a series of 3D waves with no two installations looking exactly the same.
The epoxy itself is composed of a resin and hardener that, when combined as a coating, creates one of the most durable floor options out there! If you’re wondering how these two compounds achieve results like that, here’s a quick science lesson. We promise it’ll be the only one. Under the surface, the resin is in a state of flux meaning its molecules are constantly jumping around and ready to pop.
Once the hardener is introduced, the resin’s molecules break and then combine with the hardener in a series of molecules called a polymer. This occurs over and over chaining polymer to polymer which results in a material that is extremely resistant and durable due to the high level of connections under the surface.
Pretty cool right? You don’t have to be a scientist though to appreciate the other great things of a metallic epoxy flooring.

As stated, metallic epoxy floors are pretty universal in their application. You can add the to just about any room in your home and any type of business with stunning effects. Here are a few of our customers’ favorite ways to use it.
Metallic Epoxy Restaurant Flooring
Restaurant flooring is subjected to regular foot traffic and spills in the front and back of the house. Traditional, untreated concrete will become stained and ugly overtime as it soaks up the liquids and sauces spilled on it as well as the dirt from patrons over time.

What’s better is if an accident does happen, clean up is super easy allowing you to keep the customers coming without the need to close for a deep scrubbing.
Metallic Epoxy Interior Flooring
Restaurants are just one example of the great interior design choices that open up with the use of metallic epoxy. Metallic epoxy can fit just about any interior space and bring a distinctive look to what could be an otherwise dull room. Our clients have utilized it in doctor’s offices, warehouses, and everywhere in between to great effect! What they really love is how the epoxy spreads across every inch of the concrete, including those hard to reach corners, providing a seamless finish that really lasts.

If you’re looking to install metallic epoxy coatings then give us a ring! We’re happy to answer any questions you may have and also provide a free estimate. If you’re not quite sure yet though if it’s for you, here’s a brief look at some of our metallic epoxy services that customers love!
What About Reflective Epoxy Flooring?
Oh, you’ve come to the right place! Reflective epoxy flooring is a type of metallic epoxy. The biggest difference is in the metallic powder used. Typically, most metallic epoxy will be shiny but reflective epoxy flooring takes it to a completely different level.
To achieve the reflective effect, we add reflective metallic powder to the clear epoxy coat which when applied creates a reflective effect. This finish, once dried and buffed as needed, becomes a great addition to bars, restaurants, and so much more.
These are popular choices for use with metallic epoxy designs such as marble where the reflective look really makes the contrast in colors stand out. If you’re interested a super reflective floor for your business (or even your home), give us call!
Our Simple Installation Process
Installation for metallic epoxy flooring follows a similar process to other epoxy coatings. This process boils down to:
-
Our team reviews the job site and prepares the existing concrete.
-
We will then apply the primer coat across the surface taking care to fill every inch of the space.
-
Once the primer dries, we’ll apply the first coat of epoxy.
-
After that first coat dries, we’ll apply the second coat of epoxy.
-
Finally, after both are dried, our team again reviews the site and ensures that no bubbling or other issues have occurred due to temperature or changes in the area.
After the process is complete, you’ll be left with a beautiful floor complete with a unique finish you won’t find anywhere else. Not to mention all the benefits that go along with an epoxy floor system!

FAQ's
You sure can! However, we do urge and work with our customers to review whether the desired location will pose an issue to drivers due to its shiny nature. There are some techniques we can use to lower the reflective nature of metallic epoxy so it is more suited for outside use.
Good question! It depends on the location and use of the installation. Garages that see a lot of vehicle traffic, for example, tend to have about 3 – 5 years of use before the coating needs to be replaced. Conversely, a ballroom that sees one party of people a month tend to last about a decade or longer before the next coating is needed.
