More Options for Epoxy Flooring
In our continuing series on special effects in epoxy flooring, this time we want to discuss the marble effect. Marble floors and surfaces are prized for their elegance and richness, combining color, translucence, and variety. No two marble slabs are alike, and this leads to interior designs that constantly seem active, new, and refreshing. Real marble floors are quite expensive, so faux alternatives like epoxy flooring are one way you can enjoy the look of marble without the extravagant costs.
Choose Your Base Color
Marble is formed when limestone or dolomite is brought back from the surface of the earth to deep within the crust by geologic forces. As the original rock is again exposed to tremendous heat and pressure underground, it recrystallizes into marble. For this reason, marble is categorized as a metamorphic rock — a type that changed from one kind of rock into another due to natural forces. Other minerals are incorporated into the original limestone, creating the fine lines or “marbling” common to this prized material.
Natural marble comes in many colors besides white and is found with many different colors of marbling. Popular color choices for marble include black, gray, blue, green, brown, yellow, and pink. All of these correspond to real marbles found in quarries around the world. At California Custom Coatings, if you desire a specific type of appearance for your marble, select a high-quality image that depicts the stone colors of your choice. Of course, you’re not limited by what’s found in the real world, as the marble effect with epoxy coatings is ultimately limited only by your imagination.
Choose Your Contrast
Marbling can contrast heavily with the base stone color, or there can be a fine grade of difference between the two or more colors interspersed throughout the primary color. Also, the marbling can be bold and strong, like rivers running through a landscape, or fine and wispy, like smoke floating across the sky. Once again, your choice can be dictated by what you find in nature, or strictly by your imagination. California Custom Coatings is “making” your marble for you!
