Precision Application Is Everything
Professional Metallic Epoxyin St. George & Southern Utah
Metallic epoxy is equal parts engineering and artistry, and it is a one-shot install. We moisture-test and profile the slab, prime it, then work the metallic pigments live during the wet stage to create the effect, and seal it with a UV-stable topcoat. Timing and technique decide everything.
No redo on a metallic floor
Every slab, before priming
Lifespan with proper install
Topcoat for our sun
With metallic epoxy there is no second take. The pattern is created in a narrow window while the epoxy is wet, and the foundation under it has to be perfect or the whole floor is at risk.
Here is how a metallic floor is actually installed, and why expert timing and prep are non-negotiable.
“Metallic is the highest-skill floor we do. You are creating the pattern by hand in a window that does not wait, on a slab that has to be prepped perfectly. There is no second chance, so everything before the pour has to be right.”
Why metallic is a one-shot install
The effect is manipulated by hand while the epoxy is still flowing, using techniques like heat, ribboning, and troweling to move the pigments. That window is short, and once it cures the pattern is permanent. There is no painting over a metallic floor that went wrong.
Underneath the artistry, the fundamentals still rule. Skip the moisture test or the grind and the most beautiful metallic finish will still delaminate, because the bond failed.
- Moisture and slab testing, critical for metallic
- Diamond grinding for a true mechanical bond
- Primer to seal and anchor the system
- Metallic base worked live to create the pattern
- Heat, ribbon, and trowel techniques during the wet stage
- UV-stable clear topcoat to lock in and protect the finish
Where artistry meets engineering
A great metallic floor needs both a steady technical foundation and a real feel for how the pigments move. The installer is reading the epoxy in real time, guiding the effect while the clock runs. That blend of craft and control is exactly why it is not a DIY project.
Get the prep and timing right and you get a flawless, durable showpiece. Get either wrong and it shows permanently.
Our step-by-step process
Moisture & Slab Testing
Moisture vapor testing is critical, even small amounts cause metallic epoxy delamination
Surface Profiling
Mechanical grinding creates the correct surface profile for maximum epoxy adhesion
Primer Application
Penetrating primer seals concrete and creates the chemical foundation for the metallic system
Metallic Base Coat
Epoxy base coat mixed with metallic pigments, artistic manipulation creates the custom pattern
Design Manipulation
Techniques applied during wet stage, heat gun, ribbon, or trowel work, create unique effects
Clear Topcoat
UV-stable clear coat locks in the design, provides scratch resistance, and delivers the high-gloss finish
Built for St. George & Washington County
Moisture vapor testing is doubly important for metallic epoxy in Southern Utah, because even small amounts of slab moisture cause delamination, and there is no easy fix on a premium floor. We test every slab and finish with UV-stable topcoats so our heat and sun do not undo the work.
