Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Kirkland, WA

What makes metallic floors different

Metallic epoxy uses fine pearlescent pigments that move as the resin cures. The installer guides that movement with rollers, brushes and sprays to create swirls, waves and marbled effects. Because the pigments catch light from different angles, the floor seems to shift as you walk across it. Every pour is unique.

Where it shines

Daylight basements, media rooms, home offices, studios and finished garages that double as lounges are ideal spaces for metallic floors. Businesses use them in salons, boutiques, offices, gyms and showrooms where a strong first impression matters. The seamless surface also cleans easily.

Colors and styles

Silver and blue combinations suggest water and suit lakeside homes. Charcoal and pearl look sleek in modern spaces. Bronze and copper add warmth. You can choose bold, high-movement designs or subtle, calm finishes. We show physical samples and photos of past work so you know what to expect.

Process

1. Moisture testing, especially important for basements.
2. Grinding and repairs to create a flat, clean surface.
3. Primer and tinted base coat.
4. Metallic layer pour and design work.
5. Clear topcoat for protection.

Basements and moisture

Below-grade slabs can carry moisture vapor up into the floor, which can cause bubbles or delamination. We test before every metallic project. If moisture is high, we use a vapor-barrier primer or recommend polished concrete instead. Doing this up front protects your investment.

Durability

Metallic floors are hard and stain resistant. Like any glossy surface, they can show fine scratches from grit. A tough polyaspartic or urethane topcoat reduces wear, and felt pads under furniture help. After years of use, the topcoat can be refreshed without redoing the design.

Slip resistance

Glossy floors can be slippery when wet. In dry living spaces this is usually fine. Near entries, bars or bathrooms, we can add a fine anti-slip additive or use a satin finish.

Care

Dust mop often and damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Use walk-off mats at entries. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals.

Timeline

Metallic floors usually take two to three days. Light foot traffic is possible after a day, and furniture can return a few days later.

Commercial spaces

For retail and office spaces, we can schedule work over weekends or after hours. Metallic floors make a strong impression in lobbies, waiting areas and boutiques. They also reflect light, which brightens interiors without extra fixtures.

Is metallic right for you?

If you want a statement floor in a living or showroom space, metallic is a great choice. For a busy garage that sees mud and wet tires, flake is more practical. Many homeowners pair the two: flake in the garage, metallic in the basement. We can quote both and schedule them together.

Working with designers

If you are working with an interior designer or architect, we are happy to coordinate colors, finishes and timing. We can prepare sample boards in your palette so everyone can approve the look before the pour.

Planning around wet months

Cool, damp weather affects how slabs dry and how coatings cure. We check slab temperature and dew point on install day and use heaters, dehumidifiers or cold-tolerant products when needed. Interior work goes on year round, while exterior jobs like sealing and driveways are best booked for the drier months.
