Overview
Where the Look Comes From
A metallic floor uses fine mica or metallic pigments mixed into a clear epoxy. While the resin is still liquid, it is moved with rollers, trowels, sprayers or air to push the pigment into veins, clouds and ripples. As the epoxy levels and cures, the pattern sets in place.
Light does the rest. The pigment particles turn as they settle, so the floor shifts as you walk across it and changes between daylight and lamplight. That depth is what people mean when they compare a metallic floor to polished stone or water.
Because the pattern is made by hand in a liquid, the result is always a little unpredictable. That is part of the appeal, and it is why seeing real samples and photos of finished floors matters more here than with any other finish.

The process
Metallic Floor Process
Each step builds on the one before it. Preparation takes the most time and matters the most.
Grind and repair
Even more careful than for flake, because a metallic floor shows every flaw.
Primer
A sealing coat stops air bubbles rising from the concrete.
Base color
A tinted base sets the background tone.
Metallic layer
Pigmented epoxy is poured and worked into the chosen pattern.
Clear topcoat
A protective clear coat adds depth and scratch resistance.
Cure
Longer than flake systems before furniture goes back.

Worth knowing
Why Metallic Floors Need a Perfect Base
Flake hides a lot. Metallic hides nothing. Any ridge, patch or low spot in the slab changes how the liquid epoxy flows and settles, and it shows up as a line or a puddle of color in the finished floor.
So metallic jobs spend extra time on grinding and repairs, and they are best in rooms where the slab is in good shape. A primer coat seals the concrete so trapped air cannot bubble up through the decorative layer.
The same reason makes metallic a poor fit for working garages. Grit, dropped tools and tires scratch a high-gloss surface faster than a textured flake floor.

Care
Caring for a Metallic Floor
Use felt pads under furniture and a chair mat under a rolling office chair. Dust-mop often and wash with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Fine scratches are normal over time on any high-gloss floor. A satin topcoat hides them better, and a worn topcoat can be refreshed without redoing the metallic layer.

How long do metallic epoxy floors last?
Indoors, with furniture pads and regular cleaning, a metallic floor can last many years. The topcoat takes the wear and can be refreshed.
Are metallic epoxy floors slippery?
They are smooth and glossy. A fine grit can be added to the topcoat in areas that get wet.
Can I choose exactly how it will look?
You choose the colors, pattern style and contrast. The exact swirls are made by hand in liquid resin, so every floor is one of a kind.
Can metallic epoxy go in a garage?
It can, but it scratches more easily under tires and grit. Flake is usually the better garage choice.
Can metallic go over an existing tile floor?
These systems are designed for concrete. Tile is usually removed and the slab prepared first.
