Overview
What Is Metallic Epoxy Floors?
Metallic epoxy floors are the most dramatic upgrade available in concrete coatings. The system uses pearl and metallic pigments suspended in a high-solids epoxy resin — as the material is applied and manipulated, it creates flowing, three-dimensional patterns that look like marble, molten metal, or the surface of the ocean. No two metallic epoxy floors are identical. The patterns are created by the movement of the installer, the temperature of the room, and dozens of variables that cannot be controlled with precision — which is exactly what makes them extraordinary. Summit Surface Company installs metallic epoxy in garages, basements, retail spaces, restaurants, showrooms, and custom homes across Jasper, Birmingham, and North Central Alabama. These floors are designed to be the focal point of any space.

Installation
How We Install It
Diamond Grinding
The concrete is diamond-ground to a minimum CSP 2 profile to ensure mechanical adhesion for the metallic epoxy system.
Primer Application
A 100% solids epoxy primer is applied and allowed to cure. This prevents off-gassing bubbles from disrupting the metallic effect.
Metallic Broadcast
The metallic base coat is applied and metallic or pearl pigments are broadcast and manipulated to create the desired effect. This is where the artistry happens.
Polyaspartic Topcoat
Two coats of UV-stable polyaspartic protect the metallic layer and provide either a high-gloss or satin finish.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a metallic epoxy floor last?
With a proper polyaspartic topcoat, a metallic epoxy floor typically lasts 15–20+ years in residential applications. Commercial and high-traffic areas may require topcoat renewal every 5–10 years.
Can I choose my colors?
Yes. We offer dozens of metallic and pearl pigment options and work with you before the installation to select your palette. We can also mix custom blends for unique effects.
Is metallic epoxy suitable for garages?
Yes. Metallic epoxy is an excellent choice for garages, particularly in custom homes where the garage is part of the home's design aesthetic. We pair it with a chemical-resistant, UV-stable topcoat.
How do I maintain a metallic epoxy floor?
Metallic epoxy floors are extremely low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a neutral pH cleaner is all that's required. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull the finish over time.
