What Creates the Brilliance?
Metallic epoxies combine durable glossy topcoats with colored undercoats and sparkling metal or mica nanoparticles. Besides choosing different colors of base coatings, you may also choose different colored nanoparticles for a variety of special effects. Here are some of the options:
- Sparkle — Mica and metallic particles are remarkable light reflectors. Increase or decrease the amount of sparkle by adjusting the number and size of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Iridescence — Visualize the feathers of a peacock or hummingbird and you can imagine the effect of iridescence. When applied with epoxy coatings, the floor changes color, based on the light or point of view.
- Pearlescence — Similar to iridescence, pearlescence is more subdued with the color altering effect, resembling the luster of pearls. This optical effect reminds you of looking through prisms or the vibrance of rainbows.
- Depth — By artfully shaping the pigment layers, collecting nanoparticles in some areas as well as leaving fewer in others, our craftworkers create a sense of 3D. Depth, movement, waves, currents, clouds, and more are realized by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
- Gloss — While sparkle is like twinkling stars, gloss defines the reflection of light from a surface. Epoxy flooring is known for creating a quality shine, but metallic flooring takes it to a whole new level! Although much is dependent on the design, maximum shine is attainable with metallic flooring.
