Bring the beauty of metallic paint to your concrete floors with the added strength and longevity of epoxy coatings from Nevada Custom Coatings. Make floors with remarkable pearlescence, shine, iridescence, swirl, depth and metallic sparkle. The standard concrete foundation in your home, showroom, lobby, gym or hallway can look like waves, clouds, swirling currents, or the depths of deep space.
What Makes the Sparkle?
Metallic epoxies combine durable gloss topcoats with pigmented undercoats and sparkling metal or mica nanoparticles. Besides picking different colors of base coatings, you can also select different colored nanoparticles for a variety of special effects. Here are some of the choices:
- Sparkle — Mica and metallic particles are excellent light reflectors. Increase or decrease the sparkling by altering the number or size of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Iridescence — Imagine the feathers of a hummingbird and you can visualize the effect of iridescence. When applied with epoxy coatings, the floor changes color, based on the light source or viewpoint.
- Pearlescence — This effect is similar to that of iridescence, but focuses on matching the soft colors made by pearls, abalones or opals. It reminds you of a rainbow or the colorful light from a prism.
- Depth — Depending on the arrangement of the epoxy layers, and by gathering the mica or metal flakes accordingly, your floor can come to life with 3D! The illusions of depth, clouds, motion, waves, current, and more are suggested with the correctly designed application of metallic epoxies.
- Gloss — While sparkle is like star twinkle, gloss stands for the reflection of light from a surface. Epoxy flooring is known for allowing for a quality shine, but metallic flooring takes it to a whole new level! Although much depends on the design, maximal shine is possible with metallic floors.
