Metallic epoxy flooring coatings are similar to traditional high-performance resinous systems made to resemble a marble floor. In other words, tiny, almost glitter-like pigments are mixed into an epoxy resin and then poured onto the floor or substrate. When these pigments become agitated with a paintbrush or roller, they gather, separate, twist and turn to reflect light at different angles. Eventually, the epoxy hardens and the metallic pigments are locked into place and give a three dimensional, swirly look. The installation technique is what determines the final look of the floor and is a critical part in attaining the desired look.
How many times have you walked into a garage and been completely underwhelmed? Probably too many times to count. If you’re looking for a way to add an unexpected impact to your home, this might be for you. Hiding a beautiful metallic epoxy floor in your garage only to be revealed when you casually show your guests something in the garage is one way to amaze!
Metallic epoxy coatings are decorative, elegant, and unique. Metallic pigment is added to two-component, 100 percent solids epoxy. A metallic base primer coat is applied first. Then, a squeegee or roller is used to apply the coating. An optional UV resistant or 100 percent solids epoxy may be added. The mixture is created for a particular floor. A unique flooring solution with a glassy finish that is noticeably smooth is the result.
