Floors That Look Like Moving Art Underfoot

Custom metallic epoxy floor installation in Shreveport for showrooms, homes, and feature spaces.

Metallic epoxy floors do not look like typical coatings. When light hits the surface in Shreveport, the finish shifts and moves depending on the angle, creating depth and color variation that makes each installation one of a kind. If you want a floor that stands out in a showroom, lobby, or feature room in your home, metallic epoxy gives you a high-gloss finish with visual interest that you will not get from solid-color coatings or tile.

Get Floored Epoxy installs metallic epoxy systems using pigments and techniques that control how the metallic particles flow and settle during application. The process requires trained installers who understand how to manipulate the material while it is still wet to create swirls, waves, or marbled effects. You work with the team to choose colors and patterns that fit the space, and the final result is a durable, seamless floor that combines artistic appeal with the same toughness you expect from standard epoxy.

How Metallic Floors Are Created and What They Deliver

The installation in Shreveport starts with the same surface prep used for any epoxy system, including grinding and cleaning the concrete to ensure proper adhesion. Once the base coat is down, metallic pigments are mixed into the epoxy and applied in layers, with installers using trowels, brushes, or air tools to push and pull the material into the desired pattern. The final clear topcoat locks in the design and gives the floor its high-gloss, reflective finish.

After the floor cures, you will notice how the finish catches light and creates the illusion of depth, almost like looking into water or polished stone. The surface is just as durable as standard epoxy, so it holds up under foot traffic, furniture, and daily use without losing its appearance. Because each floor is hand-manipulated during installation, no two metallic epoxy floors look exactly the same, even if the same colors are used.

Metallic epoxy works best in spaces where the floor is a design feature rather than a background element, such as showrooms, entryways, feature walls, or open living areas. The high-gloss finish does show dust and footprints more than matte coatings, so regular sweeping or mopping keeps it looking its best. The floor does not require waxing or resealing, and the finish stays intact for years as long as the surface is not exposed to harsh abrasives or heavy impacts.

We Are Here to Answer Your Questions

Homeowners and business owners in Shreveport considering metallic epoxy usually want to know how the finish is created, how durable it is, and what kind of upkeep it requires.

What makes metallic epoxy different from regular epoxy?
Metallic epoxy contains reflective pigments that create color shifts and depth when light hits the surface. The installer manipulates the material while it is wet to control the pattern, which makes each floor visually unique.
How long does it take to install a metallic epoxy floor?
Most installations take three to five days, including surface prep, base coat, metallic application, and topcoat. The floor needs time to cure between layers, and full hardness is reached within a week.
Why does the finish look different in every installation?
The metallic pigments move and settle based on how the installer applies them, and factors like temperature, humidity, and tool technique all affect the final pattern. Even using the same colors will produce different results.
What spaces work best for metallic epoxy floors?
Showrooms, retail spaces, lobbies, feature rooms, basements, and open living areas in homes are the most common. Any space where the floor is meant to be a focal point rather than a neutral background works well.
How do I keep the floor looking good after it is installed?
Regular sweeping and damp mopping with mild soap are all you need. The high-gloss finish does show dust and footprints, so more frequent cleaning keeps it looking sharp, but no waxing or special treatments are required.
