What Creates the Sparkle?
California Custom Coatings makes your customized metallic epoxy by combining pigmented undercoats with specialty metal or mica nanoparticles. Besides selecting the colors of the epoxies, you also choose the colors, types, and sizes of sparkling flakes. Using these choices, here are the effects you can create:
- Iridescence — Imagine the feathers of a hummingbird and you can visualize the effect of iridescence. When applied on epoxy coatings, the floor changes color, based on the light source or viewpoint.
- Pearlescence — This effect is akin to that of iridescence but focuses on matching the subdued colors made by abalone or pearls. It reminds you of a rainbow or the colorful light of a prism.
- Sparkle — Metallic and mica particles are outstanding light reflectors. Increase or decrease the sparkliness by altering the number and size of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Gloss — Gloss and shine are closely related terms. Basically, the intensity of gloss the floor has tells you specifically how much it will shine. And shine describes the amount of light reflected from a surface. Therefore, the glossier a surface, the more it will shine.
- Depth — By artfully arranging the pigment layers, bunching nanoparticles in some areas while at the same time leaving fewer in others, our team members create a sense of three dimensions. Depth, movement, waves, currents, atmosphere and more are realized by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
When choosing a metallic floor design from California Custom Coatings, you are guaranteed that your floor will be like no others! To find out the fantastic possibilities with metallic epoxy coatings in Antelope, reach out to the professional installers at California Custom Coatings.
