Many people are first made aware of metallic epoxy floor coatings because they find a picture on the internet of a beautiful floor that looks elegant and unique, or see the coating in a nice restaurant or showroom. Some may be puzzled by what material is being used, and some may be wondering if a metallic epoxy floor is right for their needs.
What is a Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating?
A metallic epoxy floor coating is quite simply a low yellowing epoxy, with a metallic pigment mixed within. 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.
