The service
A feature floor, poured by hand
Metallic epoxy is a feature floor. Metallic pigments are mixed through the resin and worked while the coating is still wet, so they settle into swirls, ripples and depth that can look like polished stone or liquid metal. Because the pattern forms as it goes down, no two floors come out exactly alike.
That look comes with trade-offs worth knowing before you choose it. A high-gloss metallic shows dust, footprints and fine scratches more readily than flake, and it's smooth, so wet areas need grip added. It's at its best indoors, where the floor is part of the design.
It's also the least forgiving finish on a poor slab. A crack, patch or high spot can show through a glossy surface, so the preparation carries even more weight here than usual.
How it works
How the job runs
Every slab is different, so the detail changes from job to job. This is the usual order of work.
- 01
Choose the look
Pick a base colour and metallic tones, and how much movement you want through the floor.
- 02
Grind & fill
The slab is ground and filled until it's flat and sound, because a gloss finish shows everything underneath.
- 03
Base coat
A base coat seals the concrete and sets the background colour the metallic sits on.
- 04
Metallic coat
The metallic layer goes down and is worked while wet to build the movement and depth.
- 05
Protective topcoat
A clear topcoat adds wear resistance, and grip where the floor needs it.
Common questions
Good questions,
straight answers
Anything not covered here, call 0421 443 213 and ask.
Does metallic epoxy scratch?
Any high-gloss floor will show fine scratches over time, and metallic shows them more than flake does. A protective topcoat helps, and felt pads under furniture and a mat at the door go a long way. If the floor is going to take a real beating, we may point you towards flake instead.
Can I choose exactly how it will look?
You choose the colours and the general style, but not the exact pattern. The movement forms as the coating is worked, which is what makes each floor one of a kind. We'll talk through colour combinations and the look you're after before anything goes down.
Can metallic epoxy go outside?
It's generally an indoor finish. Standard epoxy can yellow in direct sun, and a smooth gloss gets slippery when it's wet. For patios and pool areas, a flake system with a finish chosen for sun exposure is usually the better fit.
How do I look after a metallic floor?
Sweep or dust-mop it regularly and mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing pads can dull the gloss, so they're best avoided.
