Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Kent, OH
Kent is a city that blends university energy with genuine residential pride. From the University District to South Water Street's eclectic neighborhoods, Kent homeowners and business owners demand quality that holds up to real use. Canton Epoxy serves all of Kent and Portage County with 100% solids epoxy systems that are diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats — delivering a floor that looks great and performs without fail through Northeast Ohio's demanding seasons.
The Cuyahoga River runs through Kent, and with it comes the humidity and ground moisture that makes concrete slabs challenging for inferior epoxy systems. Our pre-installation moisture vapor emission testing is non-negotiable — we measure the slab's moisture output before any product goes down, ensuring that the coating bonds properly and won't delaminate months later. This protocol protects both your investment and our lifetime workmanship warranty, and it's a step that most budget contractors skip entirely.
Whether you're a Kent homeowner, a KSU-area landlord, or a business owner on East Main Street, Canton Epoxy delivers the region's most professional epoxy installation. Portage County projects are scheduled quickly — call 330.330.9900 for your free Kent estimate.

Key Features
Truly Unique One-of-a-Kind Pattern
Every metallic floor we install is a completely unique creation — no template, no repeat. The live manipulation process ensures your floor exists nowhere else on earth.
Deep 3D Layering Effect
Suspended metallic pigments settle at varying depths within the resin, creating a genuine illusion of dimension that draws the eye downward into the floor itself.
Multiple Pigment Systems
Choose from pearl/mica (iridescent shimmer), aluminum (high-brightness metallic), bronze/copper (warm patina), iron oxide (deep rich tones), or specialty colorshift pigments that change hue with viewing angle.
UV-Stable Polyaspartic Topcoat
Every metallic system is sealed with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that blocks the yellowing caused by sunlight and artificial lighting — keeping your floor's colors true for 5+ years.
Custom Color Consultation
We meet with you on-site, bring physical pigment samples, and design your floor around your space's lighting, furnishings, and aesthetic before a single drop of resin is mixed.
Expert Manipulation Techniques
Our trained installers use professional squeeze blades, heat guns, and specialty rollers to guide the metallic pigments into sweeping organic patterns during the working window.
Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
We stand behind every metallic epoxy installation with our lifetime workmanship warranty — the same protection we offer on all Canton Epoxy interior floor coating systems.
Kent Project Details
How It Works in Kent
Our Installation Process
The same professional process we use on every Portage County project — no shortcuts.
Design Consultation & Color Selection
We visit your space, assess the floor, and walk through our full pigment sample library. Together we choose your signature effect — from ocean swirls to galaxy cosmic bursts — and nail down the color palette before scheduling installation.
Surface Preparation
Proper adhesion starts with the concrete. We diamond-grind the entire surface to open the concrete profile, repair any cracks or spalling, and clean away all contaminants. This step is what separates a lasting floor from a peeling disappointment.
Moisture Testing
We perform professional moisture vapor emission testing on your concrete slab. If moisture levels exceed thresholds, we apply an appropriate moisture-mitigation primer before proceeding — protecting your investment from the inside out.
Base Epoxy Application
A full-broadcast epoxy base coat is applied across the prepared slab. This layer creates the rich, deep background color that will dramatically amplify the metallic pigments layered on top.
Metallic Pigment Manipulation
This is where the artistry happens. Metallic pigments are distributed across the wet base coat and then hand-manipulated using professional squeegees, specialty rollers, and heat guns — creating flowing three-dimensional patterns unique to your floor.
UV-Stable Polyaspartic Topcoat
Once the metallic layer reaches the optimal cure stage, we apply a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat in the sheen level of your choice (satin to ultra-high gloss). This final seal locks in the pattern, provides scratch resistance, and delivers 5+ years of anti-yellowing protection.
