Metallic finishes
Metallic finishes use pigments that move in the wet resin to give depth and marbling. They photograph extremely well. They are also the finish we talk people out of most often, so here is the honest version.
| Look | Marbled, high gloss, no two floors alike |
|---|---|
| Texture | Smooth, which means slippery when wet |
| Shows wear | More than flake, considerably |
| Best use | Showrooms, retail, feature rooms |
Where it works
Dry, indoor, low traffic spaces where the floor is meant to be looked at. Showrooms, retail, an office lobby, a finished basement bar. In those rooms it is genuinely impressive and nothing else looks like it.
Where it does not
A working garage. The surface is smooth, so it is slick when wet, and being smooth it shows every scratch and tire mark instead of hiding them. It is also harder to touch up, because matching a marbled pour is not a spot repair.
If you want a garage that still looks good in five years of actual use, flake is the right answer and we will say so.
