How we do it
Metallic epoxy floors
Metallic coatings suspend pigments in epoxy to create swirling, marbled patterns, so no two floors look exactly alike. We install metallic floors in basements and garages across Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties.

Why metallic
A floor nobody else has
Metallic pigments move as the epoxy flows, so the installer shapes the pattern by hand: marble, lava, water, or something in between. The result looks deep and polished.
It’s a statement floor, and it shows its hand. Here’s the honest list.
It’s a good fit if
- You want a showpiece floor for a bar, theater or show garage.
- You like the idea that your floor is one of a kind.
- You want a seamless, easy-clean coating underneath the look.
The trade-offs
- High gloss shows dust, scratches and footprints more than flake.
- You can’t preview the exact pattern; it’s created as it goes down.
- It costs more than a standard flake coating [confirm difference].

The pigment is the same; the topcoat and texture change with the space.
Side by side

FAQ
Metallic floor questions
What is a metallic epoxy floor?
It’s an epoxy coating with metallic pigments that swirl as it’s applied, creating a marbled, 3D look. It goes down over a ground and repaired slab.
Can I choose the pattern?
You choose the colors and the general style. The exact pattern forms as the installer works the coating, so every floor is unique.
Is a metallic floor durable?
Yes, with a proper topcoat it’s as tough as other epoxy floors. Gloss shows scratches more, so use felt pads under furniture.
