A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
Each metallic epoxy flooring install is shaped by hand while wet, so your pattern will not match anyone else's. You choose the base colour and the metallic tones, and the look can be bold or quiet.
A metallic finish shows every flaw under it. Bumps, cracks and dips all show through, so we grind the slab flat and fill every defect before the pour.
Moisture matters even more here, because a cloudy patch spoils the look. In older Prince George basements, we test the slab first and add a vapour-blocking primer where needed.
First we grind and patch, then lay down primer and a solid base colour. The metallic layer goes on next, and we push the pigment around by hand with rollers, brushes and a little air to build the pattern.
A clear top layer covers the finished floor to guard against scratches and set the shine. Satin and high gloss are both possible.
Basements with a bar or media room are the most common spot in Prince George homes. Home offices, entryways and small showrooms also suit the look well. Garages can have it too, though a chip floor hides winter grit far better.
Metallic epoxy flooring usually runs about $8 to $12 per square foot, since it uses more material and more hand work than a chip floor. Basement repairs and vapour primers are priced separately. For a hard-working basement, standard basement epoxy flooring costs less.
A metallic floor is easy to keep clean. Sweep or dust mop it to lift grit, which can dull the gloss over time, then wash it with a damp mop and a mild cleaner. Felt pads under chair and table legs keep it looking new. If the top layer scratches after years of use, it can be sanded lightly and given a fresh clear coat while the pattern underneath stays untouched.
Popular picks include silver over charcoal, copper over brown and pearl over white, while blues and greens suit a bar or games room. We bring samples to the visit, so you can see the colours in the light of the actual room before you choose.

Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.

A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.

Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.

Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.
