What Makes the Sparkle?
Metallic epoxies combine durable glossy top coats with pigmented undercoats and sparkling mica or metal nanoparticles. Besides picking different colors of base epoxies, you can also select different colored nanoparticles for a variety of special effects. Here are some of the possibilities:
- Iridescence— Birds like peacocks have iridescent feathers. The hues of the feathers shift as either the bird or you move in the light. When iridescence is added to epoxy coatings, it’s the floor that changes color as you stroll through the room.
- Pearlescence— Similar to iridescence, pearlescence is more subdued with the color change effect, resembling the luster of pearls or opal. This optical effect reminds you of looking through a prism or the vibrance of rainbows.
- Sparkle— Metallic and mica particles are excellent light reflectors. Increase or decrease the amount of sparkle by adjusting the number and size of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Gloss— Although sparkle is like the twinkling of stars, gloss is the reflection of light from surfaces. Epoxy flooring is known for creating a quality shine, but metallic flooring takes it to a completely new level! Although much depends on the design, maximal shine is seen with metallic flooring.
- Depth— By artfully arranging the pigment layers, bunching nanoparticles in some areas while at the same time leaving fewer in others, our craftworkers create a sense of 3-dimensionality. Depth, movement, waves, currents, atmosphere, and more are realized by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
