Metallic Epoxy Floors in Burr Ridge, IL

Metallic epoxy for the large, open rooms of Burr Ridge homes and offices: a self-leveling resin poured as one seamless surface, worked by hand into the look of marble, stone or liquid metal and finished in high gloss, installed by our own crew.

Metallic epoxy, explained for a large room

Metallic epoxy is a self-leveling resin mixed with metallic mica pigments and poured over concrete that has been ground and primed. While it is still wet our installers work it by hand, so the pigment moves and settles as the resin cures and leaves depth running through the floor rather than printed on top of it. It is one of the thickest epoxy systems we install, and it is finished under a clear, UV-resistant topcoat.

In Burr Ridge we pour it where a room is big enough for the finish to travel: open-plan ground floors, generous lower levels, and the wide floor plates of low-rise offices and showrooms. It is an indoor floor, and it suits a room that is meant to be seen from one end to the other.

The finished floor is one continuous, high-gloss surface with no seams, grout lines or repeating tiles, reflective enough to carry the room's lighting across it from wall to wall. Metallic floors we have poured are on our gallery.

Why one pour beats a tiled or planked floor

Tile, stone and plank are laid in modules, and over a large room the grid of joints becomes part of the view. Grout darkens, a cracked tile has to be matched years later, and every change of use across an open plan asks for a transition strip. A metallic floor is poured as one surface, so there is nothing to join, nothing to transition and nothing to match.

It also goes on the slab you already have. Once the concrete is ground and repaired, the resin is poured straight onto it, so there is no demolition, no new subfloor and nothing to haul away. Because the resin is self-leveling and thick, it evens out a floor that is not perfectly flat as it goes down.

And it adds to the property rather than just covering it. A metallic floor enhances property value, and across the biggest room in the house or the office it is a worthwhile investment in the surface everyone crosses first.

What a large metallic floor does for you day to day

Hard-wearing across the whole room. The resin and its topcoat resist impact, abrasion, scratches, chips and chemicals, so furniture, chair legs and everyday traffic do not wear a path through it. On a floor this size that is the difference between a finish that stays even and one that shows the route everyone walks.

Seamless and easy to keep. With no grout lines and no joints, there is nowhere for dirt, water or allergens to settle, and cleaning is a sweep and a damp mop. There is no waxing and no stripping, and the finish is low odor, low VOC, hypoallergenic and pet friendly.

A finish that stays true for years. The clear topcoat is UV resistant, so the color does not yellow or fade under a wall of windows, and the grinding, repair and moisture control done before the pour stop the floor from peeling or bubbling. It is built so you can look back in 15 to 20 years and still have an amazing floor.

Pigments and patterns for a floor with distance in it

Pigment first. Metallic floors come in pearl, bronze and graphite and in custom blends mixed for the job, laid over a base color that sets the overall tone. Over a large room the base decides how light or dark the whole space feels, so it is the choice we start with.

Then the look. The same resin can be worked to resemble marble, granite, stone, wood, water or liquid metal, from a quiet drift of pearl to strong veining with a lot of contrast. A long sight line shows a pattern from end to end, so a calmer pattern often suits a big room better than it would a small one.

Then the finish on top. Every metallic floor is sealed under a clear, glossy, UV-resistant topcoat that resists yellowing and wear, and an anti-slip agent can be added to that final coat near an exterior door or a kitchen sink. The gloss is what gives the floor its depth, and it suits spaces lit artificially, where it picks up the fittings and carries them across the room.

Getting a large slab ready for a pour

Every metallic floor starts with mechanical grinding. Diamond grinders take off old paint, adhesive, stains, laitance and any earlier coating, and open the pores of the concrete so the primer can bond into it. On a large floor the whole slab is ground to one consistent profile from wall to wall, so no stretch of it bonds differently from the rest.

Cracks, holes and old repairs are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, and control joints are treated so the floor runs across them without a line. Anything left in the slab tends to telegraph through a metallic pour, and over a long room there is a lot of slab to get right.

The grinding, repair and moisture control done here are what stop a finished floor peeling or bubbling later. Edges along walls, thresholds and stairs are prepared as carefully as the middle of the room, and where two rooms meet at slightly different heights the join is ground and filled to one plane before anything is poured.

Pouring and working the metallic coat

We roll a primer that fuses into the ground concrete and forms the bond the whole floor depends on. Once it has cured, the metallic base coat goes on: industrial resin tinted with the chosen pigment, poured across the room.

While the base coat is still wet our installers work the pigment by hand to build the depth and movement you picked. Over a large room the pour is planned so the pattern runs through the whole floor without a break, from the far wall back to the door.

When the metallic coat has cured, the clear topcoat goes on over everything. It is the layer that takes the traffic and the cleaning, keeps the gloss, and holds the color true for the life of the floor.

Metallic floors in Burr Ridge homes and offices

Burr Ridge houses sit on large lots and tend toward open plans and generous lower levels, and the commercial space along the corridor runs to low-rise offices with wide floor plates. Both produce the long, open rooms a continuous metallic floor suits best, and we pour it in homes, offices, showrooms and lobbies across Burr Ridge and the neighboring DuPage and Cook suburbs.

We work out of our shop in Roselle with our own installers, not subcontracted labor. The business is veteran owned and locally operated, licensed and insured, and backs its work with an extended warranty on craftsmanship.
