Metallic epoxy flooring in Chelan, Wenatchee, and across North Central Washington

Metallic epoxy is the finish people notice before they notice anything else in the room. Reflective pigments suspended in a clear resin move while the floor is being installed, which creates depth and motion that looks closer to polished stone or poured metal than to a coating. No two floors come out the same, and that is the point.

What makes a metallic floor work

The look comes from how the installer moves the material. Pigment is blended into a clear epoxy base, poured out, and then worked with rollers, torches, and air to open cells and pull the color into veins and clouds. Timing controls everything. Work it too long and the pattern goes muddy, stop too early and it looks flat. We agree on the color direction and the amount of movement you want ahead of time, and where it helps, we make a sample board so you are not guessing.

Best places for it

Metallic works in spaces people spend time looking at. Entryways, basements, home bars, showrooms, retail floors, salons, offices, and finished shops are all good candidates. It is also a strong choice for a garage where the owner wants something beyond a standard flake blend. In commercial rooms it holds up to rolling traffic and cleans easily, which is part of why it shows up in customer facing spaces.

Preparation and protection

Metallic epoxy is unforgiving of a bad slab because the surface is glossy and reflective, so anything underneath shows. We diamond grind, repair cracks and low spots, and check the slab for moisture before we commit to a system, since vapor coming up through concrete is what causes coatings to blister later. After the metallic layer cures, we apply clear protective topcoats, and slip resistant additive can be mixed into the final coat for entries, ramps, and anywhere that gets wet.

Timeline and upkeep

A metallic floor typically takes two to three days on site because of grinding, the pour, and the cure time between coats. Light foot traffic is usually fine after a day past the final coat, and heavier use after several days. Maintenance is straightforward: dust mop, damp mop with a neutral cleaner, use floor protectors under furniture, and avoid abrasive pads that dull the gloss. We handle this work in Chelan, Manson, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Quincy, and Moses Lake, and we also travel across Washington for larger projects.

FAQ

Metallic epoxy questions

How long does a metallic epoxy floor take?

Usually two to three days on site, since the slab has to be ground and each coat needs cure time. Light foot traffic is generally fine a day after the final coat, with heavier use after several days.

What preparation is required?

We diamond grind the concrete, repair cracks and low spots, and check the slab for moisture. Reflective floors show every flaw underneath, so the prep matters more here than on any other system.

How do I maintain a metallic floor?

Dust mop often and damp mop with a neutral cleaner. Use pads under furniture legs, keep grit off the surface, and skip abrasive pads and strong solvents that dull the gloss.

Can two floors be made to match?

Not exactly, and that is normal. Metallic finishes are poured and worked by hand, so every floor has its own pattern. We can match a color family and the level of movement you want.
