Epoxy flooring for concrete offers a surprising variety of color combinations. First, you have the base coat that covers the concrete and is your beginning color choice. Afterwards comes selecting flakes, granules, or micas to scatter onto the epoxy. These all have their own specific properties and come in single colors or color mixes. At the end, a clear topcoat seals everything together and protects your epoxy coating from stains, scratches and wear. Here are some aspects of each form of texture.
Color Flakes
Chips of single colors spread in a randomized manner contrast with your floor coat – and you don’t need to stop with a single kind of flake. You can add flakes of a variety of color combinations to further enliven the floor, matching your interior design. Develop your options on sport team colors, company colors, or something 100 percent personal. The options are basically endless! More Details
Micas for Epoxy Floors
Color micas give brilliance to a floor and really make it shine! Imagine how granite reflects the sun, and you have the effect of mica. The Mayans valued the decorative qualities of mica, adding it to some of their temples for a lustrous effect. You may employ this same technique by adding mica flakes to your epoxy flooring.

Granules for Epoxy Floors
Color granules are sandy particles that give texture to the otherwise glossy topcoat. This is critical for rooms with a lot of grease, oil, water, or other slippery fluids. Granules also create friction for inclined floors and any area where slips and falls are potential dangers. Granules are offered in solid colors or pleasing color combos. More Details
