NO TWO POURS LAND THE SAME.

How the metallic look is made

Metallic floors use fine metallic pigments mixed into an epoxy coat. While the coat is still wet, the installer works it with rollers, trowels, sprayers and solvents to create movement, veining and depth. As the light and your viewing angle change, the pigment shifts, which is the colour travel you see in our photos.

Because the pattern is made by hand in a short working window, every floor is one of a kind. Our Pour Lab preview lets you explore colour combinations, but it is a procedural sketch, not a promise of an exact pattern.

Where metallic floors work best

Our metallic work spans barbershops, auto detailing studios, service bays, a restaurant dining room and residential garages. It suits spaces where the floor is part of the look: showrooms, retail, salons, rec rooms, bars and show garages.

What affects how your floor turns out

• Colour choice: two or three pigments usually read better than five
• Base colour under the metallic layer
• Lighting in the room, since metallics change under different light
• Gloss level of the topcoat
• The condition of the slab underneath, because the gloss shows every dip

Things to know before you choose metallic

A high-gloss metallic floor shows dust and scratches more than a textured flake floor, and it can be slippery when wet unless texture is added to the topcoat. For wet zones, ask about texture options. For garages that see a lot of grit, compare it against a flake system in our finish guide.
