Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Roselle, IL

Owning a floor you can see the whole of from the door

The wearing layer is a clear topcoat, and everything that happens to the floor happens to that. Shoes, chair legs, a dropped glass, the dog and the nightly clean all land on a hard sealed surface rather than on the metallic coat beneath it, so the depth in the floor stays as it was poured. In a small room the traffic is concentrated through one path, and the topcoat is what takes it.

Cleaning a small metallic floor is a job of minutes: a sweep and a damp mop, with no grout to darken, no seam to trap grit and no porous joint for a spill to settle into. Salt, mud, red wine and coffee sit on the surface and wipe up. In a hall or a bar, where the floor is the feature, the fact that it looks the same on a Sunday morning as it did when it was poured is the whole point.

It does not date, either. There is no printed pattern, no repeat and no motif tied to a season, so the floor does not need replacing when the room is repainted or refurnished. A bold floor in a small room outlasts several changes of everything around it.

Base, movement and sheen when the walls are close

The base color is the first decision, and in a small room it can be stronger than it could be anywhere else. A deep base with a bright metallic worked through it is a floor you would not pour across a whole lower level, but in an entry hall or a bar it is exactly right, because the room is small enough to carry it and the eye takes the whole floor in at once.

How the movement is worked is the second, and the scale of it matters more when the walls are close. Big, sweeping movement that reads well across a large room can look like a single smear in a small one; tighter, more frequent movement suits a floor you stand over rather than look across. Saying which end suits the room is part of the job.

Sheen is the third. In a small room with a window or a downlight, a high gloss returns the light and deepens the effect, and because the floor is small it is quick to keep footprint-free. A lower sheen keeps the depth while calming the reflections, which suits a study or an office with a screen in it. Which one suits depends on how the room is lit and used, and both are settled in the room rather than from a photograph.

Roselle, the town our shop is in

Our shop is on West Lake Street in Roselle, so a metallic floor here is poured a few minutes from where the crew starts the day, by the people who looked at the room with you.

The houses in Roselle are mostly the ranches, split-levels and two-story homes of the village's subdivisions, with a stock of older houses around the center, and the rooms this floor goes into locally are the ones that size: a front hall, a finished den, a bar in the lower level, a study. Add the small commercial rooms along Lake Street and Roselle Road, the single-chair salons and the trade-unit offices, and the demand here is exactly the kind of room a bold pour suits.
