About This Service
Metallic epoxy is where craftsmanship meets fine art. Suspended metallic pigments — pearl/mica, aluminum, bronze, copper, and specialty colorshift particles — are introduced into a professional-grade epoxy resin base and then hand-manipulated using squeegees, rollers, and heat guns while the material is still workable. This live manipulation process creates sweeping rivers of color, depth pockets that seem to extend several inches below the surface, and organic swirling patterns that catch and scatter light in constantly shifting ways. The result is a 22–30 mil thick system that looks alive — a floor with genuine three-dimensional presence you have to see in person to fully appreciate.
The design possibilities are as limitless as your imagination. Canton Epoxy offers signature effect packages including the Ocean/Water collection (deep cerulean and silver waves with pearl shimmer), the Lava/Magma series (obsidian black with molten copper and bronze rivers), the Galaxy/Cosmic range (midnight backgrounds alive with silver and gold star-burst clusters), and the Marble/Granite look (white and grey veining with crystalline depth). Warm tones favor our Copper/Bronze Patina and Sunset/Ombré offerings. Every palette begins with a personalized color consultation — we bring physical samples, discuss your lighting conditions, furnishings, and brand identity, then hand-craft a floor that is an extension of your design vision.
Canton Epoxy is one of Northeast Ohio's only dedicated metallic epoxy specialists in Stark County, and that expertise is the difference between a floor that merely looks metallic and one that stops guests in their tracks. Every metallic system is sealed with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat rated for 5+ years of yellowing protection — critical in spaces that see natural or strong artificial light. The full system carries our lifetime workmanship warranty, and maintenance is effortless: damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner and your showpiece floor looks brand new indefinitely. When you invest in a metallic epoxy floor, you are not just upgrading a surface — you are acquiring a permanent, one-of-a-kind installation that adds measurable value and undeniable character to your property.

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.
How It Works
Our Installation Process
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.
