Swirls of metal pigment suspended in clear resin give metallic epoxy flooring the glossy depth of polished stone or marble. It suits Lethbridge basements, living rooms, showrooms and salons.
No two floors look the same, because the pattern is worked by hand.
Popular choices include silver and charcoal, copper and bronze, and ocean blue. We bring sample boards to the slab check, so you can see them in your own lighting. Two or three colours can be blended for more movement.
A metallic floor shows every dip under it. We grind the slab and fill low spots before the metallic epoxy flooring goes down. On older basement slabs, this can add a day.
We finish with a clear top layer that resists scratches and keeps its gloss. In a sunny room, we use a top layer that resists yellowing.
Figure on $9 to $14 a square foot. Levelling a rough slab and adding a second or third colour raise it. The extra over a flake floor pays for the hours of hand work each pour takes.
A metallic floor looks best under even, warm lighting. Basement rec rooms, home theatres and home bars are favourite spots for metallic epoxy flooring in Lethbridge homes. Because it has no grout, it also suits a basement bathroom where tile lines tend to stain.
Day one is grinding and filling. Day two is the primer and the metallic coat, which is worked by hand while it is wet. Day three is the clear top layer. Light foot traffic is fine a day later, and furniture can go back after about three days.
The room stays closed while the floor cures, because dust and pets leave marks in wet resin.
Dust mop it often, because grit dulls any gloss. Felt pads under chairs keep the top layer from scuffing. When the shine fades after some years, a fresh clear top layer brings it back.
Metallic resin is made for concrete. It can go over well bonded ceramic tile after grinding and a primer, though grout lines may show. It cannot go over a wood subfloor, because wood flexes and the coating would crack. Most metallic epoxy flooring we pour goes on basement slabs or on main floors built slab on grade.
Salons, barber shops and boutiques use a metallic floor as part of their look. It handles rolling chairs and spilled hair products, cleans with a damp mop and can be tinted to match your brand colours.

Plenty of jobs here combine two systems, like a farm shop with an office upstairs or a garage with a basement gym.
Our garage floor coating locks out winter slush, road salt and oil drips while giving you a bright floor that sweeps clean in a minute. Each one is a ground, full flake system with a clear polyaspartic top layer.

Tractors, grain trucks, welders and pressure washers all share one floor, so a shop floor coating has to be thick, textured and hard to hurt. We lay it down in farm shops, truck shops and dealer service bays around Lethbridge County.

When a garage or showroom cannot sit empty for long, a polyaspartic floor coating hardens enough to walk on within hours and can usually take a vehicle the next day. It also stays clear in sunlight instead of turning yellow near the door.
