Types of Epoxy Flooring
We offer two different types of epoxy systems: Flake or sand epoxy floor coating and metallic epoxy floor coating. Whether you choose a decorative metallic finish or a durable flake system, every epoxy floor begins with the same foundation, a precise, multi-step installation process. Proper preparation and application are key to achieving a floor that looks great and performs for years to come.
Flake or Sand Epoxy Floor Coating
Durable, Textured, and Slip-Resistant
Our flake and sand epoxy systems combine durability with traction and a clean, professional look. Colored vinyl flakes or quartz aggregate are broadcast into a base epoxy layer, then sealed with a protective topcoat. The result is a tough, slip-resistant surface that stands up to heavy use while maintaining a neat, uniform appearance.
Features:
- Multi-tone blends available (popular mixes include gray, black, and white)
- Matte or satin finish options
- Excellent at concealing dirt, dust, and wear
- Designed for high-traffic or utility spaces such as garages, shops, and warehouses
Advantages:
- Superior traction and slip resistance
- Extremely durable and easy to maintain
- Hides dust, imperfections, and everyday wear
- Cost-effective solution for industrial and commercial settings
Considerations:
- Less decorative or glossy than metallic systems
- Slight surface texture may require extra care when cleaning
- Designed more for performance than for a “luxury” appearance
Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating
High-End, Decorative, and One-of-a-Kind
Metallic epoxy flooring combines the strength of 100% solids epoxy with shimmering metallic pigments to create a three-dimensional, marbled, or pearlescent effect. Each installation is entirely unique as no two floors ever look the same. This system delivers both artistic design and long-term durability, making it ideal for spaces that need to impress and perform.
Features:
- Glossy, mirror-like finish with dynamic depth
- Distinct “lava flow” or cloudy, swirling patterns
- Custom color blends available (silver, bronze, blue, charcoal, copper, and more)
- Seamless, non-porous, and easy to clean
- Popular for showrooms, offices, restaurants, basements, and custom garages
Advantages:
- Stunning, high-end appearance, truly one of a kind
- Durable, chemical-resistant surface
- Helps mask minor surface imperfections
- Optional UV-resistant topcoats for added protection
Considerations:
- Higher material and labor cost compared to standard epoxy systems
- May require anti-slip additives for traction
- Installation is artistic and best performed by experienced professionals
