Metallic epoxy flooring: what it is and how it looks

Metallic epoxy is a decorative floor made from self-leveling resin and metallic mica pigments. It is poured over prepared, primed concrete, worked by hand so the pigment swirls and moves as the resin cures, and sealed under a clear, glossy topcoat. The depth is in the floor itself, not printed on it.

It is made for spaces where the floor is part of the impression: corporate lobbies and reception areas, offices, showrooms, restaurants and retail interiors, and the entertaining rooms of a house. It is an indoor system, and it is at its best where people stop and look around.

The finished floor has a high-gloss, reflective surface with the look of marble, liquid metal or flowing stone, and it runs wall to wall with no seams. Examples of metallic floors we have poured are on our gallery.

Why businesses choose metallic over tile or carpet

Tile and stone show their grout lines across a lobby, and carpet wears a path from the door to the desk. A metallic floor is one seamless poured surface that looks the same at the end of the year as it did at the start, and it gives a first-time visitor something to notice. In a building shown to clients every day, that consistency is worth more than any single feature of the floor.

It goes onto the existing slab. The concrete is ground, repaired and primed and the resin poured straight onto it, so there is no demolition and no new subfloor, and because the resin is self-leveling it evens out the minor dips a modular floor would have to be built up over.

We install it with fast turnaround and minimal downtime, so the work fits into your schedule rather than taking it over. The result is a floor that enhances property value and a worthwhile investment in the space a client sees first.

What a metallic floor gives a busy interior

Hard-wearing under foot traffic. The system resists impact, abrasion, scratches, chips and chemicals, so heels, chair castors, rolling cases and cleaning products do not wear through the pattern where people walk. A dropped item that would crack a tile leaves the poured floor intact.

Quick to clean. The surface is seamless and non-porous, with no grout, no joints and nowhere for dirt, water, mold or bacteria to settle. Cleaning is a sweep and a mop, with no stripping and no waxing, and the finish is low odor and low VOC.

Light that stays true. The high-gloss surface reflects the lighting and brightens a room, and the UV-resistant topcoat resists yellowing and fading, which matters in a building with a lot of glazing. The color you approve is the color the floor keeps.

Pigment, pattern and gloss for a room people see

Pigment. Pearl, bronze, graphite and custom blends go over a base color that sets the tone. A corporate interior often suits graphite or pearl in a restrained pattern; a showroom or a restaurant can carry bronze and more contrast. Custom blends are mixed for the job where a space has a color scheme of its own.

Pattern. The resin can be worked toward marble, granite, stone, liquid metal, wood or water. Daylight and artificial light change how a pattern reads, so in a room with a wall of windows the choice is made with the light that room actually has.

Gloss and grip. Every metallic floor is finished in high gloss under a clear topcoat that resists yellowing and wear, and that gloss is what makes metallic suit spaces that rely on artificial lighting. Where grip matters, at an entrance that takes wet shoes, an anti-slip agent is added to the final coat.

Preparing the concrete for a reflective finish

Mechanical grinding opens the pores of the concrete and takes off old paint, coatings, carpet adhesive, stains and contaminants, so the primer bonds into sound concrete. When a space is coming out of carpet or tile, the grind is what clears everything the old floor left behind.

Cracks, holes and imperfections are filled and ground flush, and control joints are treated so the floor runs over them cleanly. Old fixing holes from partitions, desks and signage are filled at the same time. A reflective floor shows the slab beneath it, so anything that is not repaired would show.

Moisture control, edges and levels finish the preparation. Moisture control prevents peeling and bubbles, edges at doors, elevators and glazing are ground to the same profile as the rest, and where an existing floor meets the new one the join is ground and filled to one plane.

Pour, pattern, topcoat: installing the floor

First the primer, rolled into the ground concrete, where it fuses into the slab and forms a bond that will not peel. Next the metallic base coat: industrial resin, tinted with the metallic pigment, poured across the room.

Our installers then manipulate the pigment by hand while the resin is wet to achieve the depth and movement chosen, which is the step that makes every metallic floor different from the last one.

Last, the clear topcoat. It is durable, glossy and UV resistant, it resists yellowing and wear, and it is the surface visitors actually walk on.
