All the Different Epoxy Flooring Styles

Standard epoxy flooring is the most common style that you’ll come across. This basic epoxy floor is available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. From simple, solid-color floors to more complex, multi-colored floors with intricate patterns, standard epoxy flooring has a solution for any design need!

Metallic epoxy flooring is one of the most unique flooring systems on the market today! These floors are made by mixing metallic pigments into the epoxy resin during the application process to give the floor a shimmering appearance.

Metallic epoxy is available in a broad spectrum of colors and can be used to create one-of-a-kind patterns that can’t be duplicated. Some of the patterns that are popularly made with metallic epoxy include swirling, colorful patterns, and designs that mimic the look of scenes from nature. Some of the natural scenes made with metallic epoxy are bubbling lava, rippling ocean waves, cloud-dotted skies.

Decorative flake epoxy flooring is the perfect solution if you want some texture or added slip resistance in your home or business. These epoxy floors are made by layering acrylic flakes over the epoxy base and coating it all with a thin, clear epoxy topcoat. These decorative chips then provide a unique texture that aids in traction.

The acrylic chips come in various shapes, colors, and sizes ranging from 1/16 to 1 inch. They can also be broadcast in varying densities, from sparse to dense to completely coating the floor. Not to mention, the underlying epoxy base can be colored to complement the flakes’ colors!

3D epoxy flooring is much more than installing a graphic image on the floor. Traditional floor decals are applied directly onto the floor. As a result, you’re standing right on the image, which takes away from the beautiful effect.

On the other hand, the image in a 3D epoxy floor is installed on the epoxy primer and coated with a thick layer of clear epoxy topcoat. This thick layer creates a feeling of depth as you’re above the image instead of immediately on it.

This beautiful, unique effect can be created with practically any image, from underwater scenes to landscapes to space!

Specialty epoxy flooring is precisely what it sounds like, special! These are custom ideas and designs that use less conventional approaches to flooring.

Some popular specialty epoxy flooring ideas have been penny epoxy floors, bottle cap epoxy floors, and even a vinyl record epoxy floor! These floors are made by applying a base layer of epoxy, applying a layer of the specialty material, such as pennies, bottle caps, vinyl records, or virtually anything else, and finally coating the entire floor with a thick layer of clear epoxy topcoat.

The effect created with these floors can be quite striking and is usually somewhat special or sentimental to the person who decided on the design. Whether it’s your decades-old coin collection, favorite vinyl albums, or whatever else, you can make a floor out of it with epoxy!

There’s no end to the possibilities when it comes to professional epoxy flooring. This adaptable, customizable floor can be made to suit any design, color scheme, or theme! With options in standard epoxy, metallic epoxy, decorative flake epoxy, 3D epoxy, and specialty epoxy flooring, you can design the perfect floor for your home or business!
