What Creates the Sparkle?
California Custom Coatings makes your personalized metallic epoxy by combining colored undercoats with specialty metal or mica nanoparticles. Besides selecting the colors of the epoxies, you also decide upon the types of sparkling flakes. Applying these choices, here are the effects you can create:
- Iridescence— Visualize the feathers of a hummingbird or a peacock and you can imagine the effect of iridescence. When applied with epoxy coatings, the floor changes color, based on the light source or point of view.
- Pearlescence— Similar to iridescence, pearlescence is more subdued with the color alteration effect, resembling the luster of pearls or opal. This light effect reminds you of looking through prisms or the vibrance of rainbows.
- Sparkle— Metallic and mica particles are outstanding light reflectors. Decrease or increase the amount of sparkle by adjusting the size or number of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Gloss— Gloss and shine are tightly related terms. Basically, the intensity of gloss determines how much your flooring shines. And shine describes the amount of light reflected off a surface. So, the glossier a surface, the more it shines.
- Depth— By skillfully arranging the pigment layers, aggregating nanoparticles in some areas and at the same time leaving fewer in others, our craftworkers create a sense of 3-dimensionality. Depth, motion, waves, current, atmosphere and more are suggested by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
