Quick answer: Metallic epoxy is a marbled, high-gloss floor mixed on site for a one-of-a-kind look, best for interiors, showrooms, and statement garages. It typically costs $8–15+ per square foot, installs in about one day, and carries a 10-year warranty.
Metallic epoxy is the most striking floor coating we install. Metallic pigments suspended in clear resin shift and swirl as the floor sets. The movement can read like polished marble, molten metal, or flowing water. You end up with one glass-smooth surface that catches the light. No grout lines, no seams, and no two floors come out exactly alike.

How it works
- Free quote and design consultWe look at your space and the look you want, walk you through metallic color samples, and give you a written quote.
- Concrete prep and repairWe diamond-grind the concrete to open the surface, then fill cracks and patch low spots. Prep is what makes the floor bond. Skip it and the coating peels. This is where most failed floors go wrong.
- Base coat and metallic pourWe lay a pigmented base, then pour and work the metallic resin, using techniques that pull the swirls and depth into the pattern you're after.
- Clear topcoat and cureA protective clear coat seals in the finish and adds gloss and durability. We can add a slip-resistant additive where traction matters, then let the floor cure before you walk and load it.

FAQs
What exactly makes a metallic epoxy floor look 3D?
Fine metallic pigments are suspended in clear resin. As the floor is poured and starts to cure, those pigments move and settle at slightly different rates, creating swirls, ripples, and depth that the eye reads as three-dimensional. It's a hands-on, artistic process, which is why every floor turns out unique and why skilled installation matters so much.
Can I put metallic epoxy in my living room or kitchen, or is it just for garages?
It works beautifully indoors. Metallic epoxy is one of the most popular choices for living rooms, entryways, retail floors, showrooms, and lobbies because of its glossy, high-end look. It's just as at home in a high-end garage. We'll match the topcoat and finish to how each space is used.
Are metallic epoxy floors slippery?
A high-gloss surface can get slick when wet, that's true of any glossy floor. For areas where water or spills are a concern, we can add a clear slip-resistant additive to the topcoat that keeps traction without hiding the metallic look. We'll recommend it where it makes sense, like entryways or commercial spaces.
How long does a metallic epoxy floor last?
With professional installation and normal care, a metallic epoxy floor is built to last many years. The biggest factors are concrete prep, the quality of the topcoat, and basic upkeep. We back every install with a 10-year warranty.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Maintenance is easy. Dust mop or sweep as needed, and damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner every week or two. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads, and wipe up spills promptly. The surface has no grout or cracks to trap grime, so it stays looking sharp with very little effort.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my home or business?
Many residential metallic floors are coated in a single day, followed by curing time before you walk on and load the floor. Larger or commercial spaces can take longer. We give you a realistic schedule up front so you can plan around it, and we keep the work area clean throughout.
