Maintaining Your Metallic Epoxy
Fast & Efficient
If you are working long hours or have little time during the busy seasons, you don’t want to be stuck maintaining your flooring system. This is what makes metallic epoxies such an attractive option for both home and business owners, they require little to no maintenance! When it comes to maintaining your epoxy, regular maintenance is as simple as ever with the use of a soft bristle broom and a regular wet mop.
When mopping the coating, make sure to use a PH neutral cleaner so no citrus cleaners, bleach or ammonia. When the coating gets heavily soiled in areas like the garage, you can simply use a standard garden hose to wash down the metallic epoxy floor, just make sure the water isn’t too hot. But this doesn’t mean that deep cleaning or pressure washing is permitted, they may only be done when absolutely necessary, never regularly.
The Installation Process Of Metallic Epoxy
Always Use A Professional
The installation process of the metallic epoxy flooring system differs greatly from that of any other traditional flooring system, that is why we urge you to always enlist the help of a professional! First off, we start by preparing the concrete slab for installation. This includes deep cleaning, repair of imperfections and the profiling of the slab itself. When we are certain the slab is ready for installation, we start with the installation of the epoxy primer.
The primer acts as an adhesion promoter, promoting a stronger bond to the concrete slab. We apply layers of epoxy to reach the desired thickness and our final coats are where the metallic pigmentations are implemented and customized using blowers, brushes, and solvents to create custom finishes.

Metallic Epoxies Safety Features
For Use In All Areas
One of the biggest reasons why the metallic coating is so sought after is because of its immense safety features. For example, the seamless and nonporous design of epoxy flooring makes the system extremely hygienic, resistant to the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
The epoxy surface can also be customized with silica sand additives, giving the flooring traction, which is useful in areas that tend to be exposed to moisture. When using lighter colored epoxies on your floor, they can reflect light to make any area up to 150% brighter without the use of additional lighting sources, making the area easier to work in while saving you money on your power bill!
Why You Should Use Metallic Epoxy
A Well Rounded System
So why should you use metallic epoxy? Well, the most attractive benefit is its mesmerizing finish that can mimic the appearance of natural phenomena like clouds, waves, and lava. But, our metallic epoxies are also extremely functional and are even stronger than concrete with a staggering weight resistance of up to 14,000 PSI.
When it comes to durability, epoxy flooring simply cannot be beaten! Epoxies are resistant to the damage that can be made by dropped objects, heavy foot, and vehicle traffic, harsh chemicals or heavy machinery. At the end of the day, there is no reason why you shouldn’t use epoxy!
