Metallic Epoxy Flooring Vancouver BC

Prep-first installation

We use diamond grinding, edge detailing, and substrate evaluation before decorative layers go down. Metallic floors need real prep because glossy, light-reactive finishes highlight mistakes faster than textured systems do.

Honest system recommendations

If the slab has moisture concerns, the room requires more traction, or a flake, quartz or solid-colour system would perform better, we explain that before you commit.

Built around real use

We match movement, sheen, traction and topcoat strategy to the environment — from a bold showroom floor to a more forgiving satin interior.

• Photos of the room and current concrete
• Your preferred marble, smoke, stone or liquid-metal look
• Residential or commercial use and any downtime limits

Great fit for

• Showrooms and branded retail interiors
• Salons, studios, and reception spaces
• Basements, lounges, and feature rooms
• Modern lobbies and designer commercial spaces
• Select residential interiors where appearance comes first

Usually not the best fit for

• Spaces that need maximum dirt-hiding and heavy texture
• Daily vehicle parking where flake or quartz is more practical
• Floors with unrealistic expectations of a perfect mirror over a poor slab
• Areas where extreme abrasion matters more than decorative impact

Black-and-white marble

High-contrast movement for showrooms, modern basements and statement interiors. The room layout and lighting guide how bold the veining should feel.

Soft smoke and cloud movement

A quieter direction for larger rooms, studios and lobbies where you want depth without aggressive contrast.

Warm bronze and liquid metal

Rich bronze, copper and gold tones for salons, hospitality spaces and brand-forward feature floors.

1. Site assessment

We evaluate the slab, confirm the room use, and identify issues such as old coatings, contamination, cracking, or moisture risk before recommending the system.

2. Mechanical preparation

We diamond-grind the floor to open the surface and create the right bonding profile. Good adhesion starts here, not in the decorative layer.

3. Repairs and refinement

Metallic finishes are reflective, so repairs and localized refinement matter more than they do on many textured systems.

4. Primer strategy where needed

If the slab condition calls for it, we use the right primer or intermediate layer to improve bonding and help reduce defect risk.

5. Metallic application

Pigments are blended and worked to create the chosen movement style. This stage is where the design comes together, but it only works properly when the slab underneath is ready.

6. Protective clear coat

The clear coat protects the metallic look and helps determine long-term wear, cleanability, sheen, and traction.

Gloss or satin

Gloss maximizes depth and reflection but shows dust and micro-wear more readily. Satin has a quieter architectural appearance and can be more forgiving in busy interiors.

Traction and realistic wear

Smooth metallic floors can be slippery when wet. Traction can be adjusted, but heavier texture changes the visual effect. We balance safety and appearance for the actual room.

Simple ongoing care

Remove grit regularly, use a pH-neutral cleaner, place mats at entrances and protect concentrated furniture or rolling points. These small steps help preserve the clear finish.
