Bring the beauty of metallic paint to your concrete foundations with the added resilience and longevity of epoxy coatings from West Coast Epoxy. Make floors with breathtaking shine, pearlescence, iridescence, metallic sparkle, depth, and swirl. The ordinary concrete foundation in your showroom, lobby, home, gym, or hallway can look like clouds, waves, currents, or the depths of space.
What Creates the Sparkle?
Metallic epoxies combine durable gloss coats with colored undercoats and sparkling mica or metal nanoparticles. In addition to choosing different colors of floor coat, you may also pick different colored nanoparticles for a variety of special effects. Here are some of the options:
- Iridescence — Imagine the feathers of a hummingbird and you can imagine the effect of iridescence. When applied with epoxy coatings, the floor changes color, based on the source of light or point of view.
- Pearlescence — Similar to iridescence, pearlescence is more subtle in the color altering effect, resembling the luster of pearls or abalone shells. This optical effect reminds you of looking through a prism or the vibrance of rainbows.
- Sparkle — Mica and metallic flakes are specifically known for this effect. By altering the size and number of nanoparticles, and their hues, you choose the resulting sparkle.
- Gloss — While sparkle is like star twinkle, gloss is the reflection of light from surfaces. Epoxy flooring is known for making a quality shine, but metallic flooring takes it to a totally new level! Although much is dependent on the design, maximal shine is reachable with metallic flooring.
- Depth — By skillfully shaping the pigment layers, bunching nanoparticles in some areas and leaving fewer in others, our craftworkers create a sense of the 3rd dimension. Depth, movement, waves, current, clouds and more are realized by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
