Metallic epoxy.

A hand-poured floor with depth that moves in the light, like marble or water. For basements, show garages and showrooms across Calgary. No two come out the same.

Where it works.

  • Basements

    The most popular spot. It turns a grey slab into a finished floor without carpet to soak up a leak. We moisture-test first and prime to suit.

  • Show garages

    For the car you actually polish. We seal it under a hard clear coat and add fine grit by the door, because a glossy metallic is slick when it’s wet.

  • Showrooms, salons and studios

    A seamless floor that photographs well and mops clean. Ask about after-hours installs.

Pick a look.

One colour for a calm marble, two or three for movement, or a custom blend built around your cabinets or your car. Add glitter if you want sparkle under the lights.

How it’s poured.

Usually two to three days, because each coat needs to cure before the next.

  1. Grind and repair

    Diamond grinding opens the slab. Cracks are filled and ground flush so they don’t show through.

  2. Prime and base

    A primer to lock down the concrete, then a tinted base coat that sets the floor’s darkest tone.

  3. Metallic coat

    Epoxy mixed with pearl pigment is poured and worked by hand. This is where the swirls, veins and depth come from.

  4. Clear topcoat

    A hard, UV-stable clear coat protects the colour from scratches and sun, with grip added if you want it.

Cost.

From $9 per square foot. More than flake, because it’s more coats and more hand work.

  • Colours

    Two and three-colour floors take longer to pour than one.

  • The slab

    Metallic shows what’s under it, so cracks and patches need more prep than under flake.

  • Size and shape

    Open basements go faster than rooms broken up by stairs, posts and closets.

Questions.

All questions
Is metallic epoxy slippery?

A smooth, glossy metallic is slick when wet, like any polished floor. We can add a fine grit to the clear coat. It’s barely visible and gives your socks and boots something to hold.

Can metallic go in a garage?

Yes, under a tough clear topcoat. It shows dust and salt more than flake does, so it suits a show garage more than the one you drag hockey bags through.

Will my floor look like the photos?

Close, but never identical. Every metallic is poured by hand, so the pattern is one of a kind. We bring samples to the measure and agree on colour and movement before we start.

Can you do metallic over a basement with moisture?

Usually. We test the slab first. A high reading means a moisture-tolerant primer under the metallic, and we’ll tell you plainly if a floor isn’t a good candidate.
