What Makes the Sparkle?
West Coast Epoxy creates your customizable metallic epoxy by combining colored undercoats with specialized mica or metal nanoparticles. Besides choosing the hues of the epoxies, you also choose the colors, types, and sizes of sparkling flakes. Applying these choices, here are the effects we can create:
- Sparkle — Mica and metallic particles are remarkable light reflectors. Decrease or increase the sparkling by adjusting the size and number of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Iridescence — Birds like peacocks have iridescent feathers. The colors of the feathers shift as either you or the bird moves in the light. When iridescence is applied to epoxy coatings, it’s the floor that changes color as you stroll through the room.
- Pearlescence — Akin to iridescence, pearlescence is more subdued with the color altering effect, resembling the luster of a pearl or an opal. This light effect reminds you of looking through a prism or the vibrance of rainbows.
- Depth — Depending on the arrangement of the epoxy layers, and by aggregating the metal or mica flakes accordingly, your floor can come to life with 3-D! The illusions of depth, atmosphere, movement, waves, currents, and more are realized with the properly designed application of metallic epoxies.
- Gloss — Although sparkle is like twinkling stars, gloss stands for the reflection of light from surfaces. Epoxy flooring is known for designing a quality shine, but metallic flooring takes it to a whole new level! Although much depends on the design, maximum shine is attainable with metallic floors.
Using a metallic floor design from West Coast Epoxy, you ensure that your floors will be like no others! To see the fantastic possibilities with metallic floor coatings, connect with the experienced installers at West Coast Epoxy for metallic floors in Livermore.
