GUIDE · FINISHES
PICK THE FLOOR FOR THE ROOM.
The finish is the part everyone sees. Each one has a different look, texture and tolerance for dust, grit and wear. Start with how the room is used, then pick the look.
| Attribute | Metallic | Flake | Solid colour | Marble art |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Look | Deep, glossy, marbled movement that shifts with light | Speckled, multi-tone, granite-like texture | One flat colour, clean and bright | Veined, stone-like decorative pattern |
| Hides dust and grit | Least forgiving | Most forgiving | Moderate; depends on colour | Moderate |
| Texture underfoot | Smooth unless texture is added | Light texture from the chips | Smooth unless texture is added | Smooth unless texture is added |
| Repeatable look | No, every pour is unique | Yes, by blend and coverage | Yes | No, every pour is unique |
| Common rooms | Showrooms, shops, rec rooms, show garages | Garages, workshops, basements, back of house | Warehouses, workshops, gyms, laundry | Commercial feature floors, lounges |
Start with how the room is used
A garage that sees winter grit every day and a barbershop that gets photographed every day want different things from a floor. Ask yourself how much dirt the floor sees, whether it gets wet, how much you care about a unique look, and whether you'll mind seeing dust between cleanings.
When metallic is the right call
Choose metallic when the floor is part of the design: a shop, a showroom, a basement bar, a show garage. Plan for regular dust mopping and ask about texture for any area that gets wet.
When flake is the right call
Choose flake when the floor works hard and you want it to look clean between sweeps: everyday garages, workshops, storage and laundry rooms.
When solid colour is the right call
Choose solid colour for bright, uniform workspaces, or where you want lines and zones painted on top.
