Epoxy floors for concrete provides a fascinating selection of color combinations. First, you have the base coat that covers the concrete in the color of your choice. Afterwards comes selecting granules, flakes, or micas to spread onto the epoxy. These all have their own specific properties and come in single colors or color mixes. Lastly, a clear topcoat seals everything together and protects your epoxy coating from scratches, stains and wear. Here are some features of each form of texture.
Flakes for Epoxy Flooring
Flakes are colored chips of a variety of sizes and materials that contrast with your floor coat. You may also use pre-set combinations of color flakes or develop your own combination. With color flakes it is quick to match a room color, team colors, or logo colors. You name it, we can create it!
Micas for Epoxy Floors
Color micas provide lustre to a floor and makes it look glossy! Think how granite reflects sunlight, and you have the effect from mica. The Mayans valued the decorative qualities of mica, adding it to some of their temples for a sparkling effect. You may use this same technique by adding mica flakes for your epoxy floors.
Granules for Epoxy Floors
If you want texture as well as color for your epoxy floors, granules are the best choice. Granules are colored particles that lend grip to inclines or slick concrete. If your concrete sees regular spills or holds potential for slips and falls, granules offer an extra level of traction, and they do it in solid colors or color combinations.
