What Makes the Sparkle?
California Custom Coatings makes your custom metallic epoxy by combining colored undercoats with specialty mica or metal nanoparticles. Besides choosing the hues of the epoxies, you also decide upon the types, sizes, and colors of sparkling flakes. Applying these choices, here are the effects you can create:
- Sparkle — Mica and metallic particles are remarkable light reflectors. Increase or decrease the sparkling by altering the number or size of nanoparticles in the epoxy.
- Iridescence — Birds like peacocks or hummingbirds have iridescent feathers. The hues of the feathers alter as either you or the bird moves in the light. When iridescence is applied to epoxy coatings, it’s the floor that changes hues as you move through the room.
- Pearlescence — Akin to iridescence, pearlescence is more subdued with the color change effect, resembling the luster of pearls, abalones, or opals. This light effect reminds you of looking through prisms or the vibrance of a rainbow.
- Gloss — Although sparkle is like twinkling stars, gloss stands for the reflection of light from a surface. 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, maximum shine is reachable with metallic floors.
- Depth — By skillfully arranging the pigment layers, bunching nanoparticles in some areas and leaving fewer in others, our craftworkers create a sense of 3D. Depth, motion, waves, currents, clouds, and more are suggested by an artfully designed and executed metallic floor.
