Metallic color questions
How do I pick metallic floor colors?
Choose one dominant pigment and one or two accents. Cooler pairings (silver, pearl, blue) read like marble, water, or storm clouds; warmer pairings (copper, bronze, amber) look like molten metal or lava. Bring us a photo or an idea and we’ll design a combination that fits your space — every metallic floor blends two or more pigments for depth.
Are the swatches what my floor will look like?
Not exactly — the swatches show the base pigment colors, but a finished metallic floor is hand-swirled on site, so the movement, veins, and depth are unique to your slab. Two floors made with the same pigments will never look identical. That one-of-a-kind quality is the whole appeal.
What is a color-shift pigment?
Color-shift pigments (like Tamarin, Betta, and Macaw) change hue depending on the angle and the light — shifting between two colors as you move across the room. They add a dramatic, high-end effect, often used as an accent over a solid base color.
Is a metallic floor slippery?
A high-gloss metallic floor can be slick when wet, so for garages and commercial spaces we can add a fine anti-slip additive to the topcoat that preserves the look while improving traction.
Where do metallic floors work best?
Showrooms, retail, salons, basements, offices, and statement garages — anywhere you want a floor that stops people in their tracks. They’re a favorite for man caves and feature spaces.
