Metallic, flake and commercial floor coatings

Two looks for a garage, and the same systems for commercial and industrial floors, in Jacksonville and St. Augustine.

Floor coatings

Pick the look first. Everything else about the job is the same: the same crew, the same no-shortcut policy, the same attention to the edges.

Metallic coatings

Metallic pigments, black and silver or blue and purple, moving through a clear coat. One seamless surface with depth and movement.

Flake coatings

Color flake broadcast into the base coat, in gray, black or tan. An even, speckled field of color.

Metallic coatings

A metallic epoxy floor is one continuous, seamless surface. Pigments are moved through a clear coat, black and silver in most of ours and blue and purple on a carport you'll see below, so the finished floor has depth: light catches it differently from the door than from the back wall, and the pattern never repeats. The photo here is one of ours, shot low across the floor toward an open garage door, where you can see the pattern run unbroken from wall to wall.

Who it's for

A garage that should look finished, not just covered. People choose metallic when they park a car they care about, use the garage as a workshop or a gym, or simply want the floor to be the thing visitors notice when the door goes up. It suits a room where the floor is meant to be seen.

What to tell us

The size of the room (a two-car garage, a single bay), your timeline and your city. If you are between metallic and flake, say so: the form has a Not sure option and we'll talk it through with you.

What you'll see

  • A single sheet of color with no seams or lines
  • Metallic movement that reads differently as the light changes
  • A clear coat over the top, so the floor shows edge to edge

Flake coatings

A flake floor is color flake broadcast into the base coat, so the whole floor reads as an even, speckled field of color. Ours come in gray, black and tan, the three you see in the photos: a gray floor in a garage with light-blue walls, dark gray in a garage and in two commercial bays, and tan on a covered lanai beside white French doors.

Who it's for

Garage floors first. People choose flake for a garage that gets used every day and should still look even and finished, and for a room where they want color and texture rather than the movement of a metallic floor. Among the floors we've coated there is also a lanai and a pair of commercial bays, so if your floor isn't a garage, ask.

What to tell us

The room, your timeline, your city and the flake color you lean toward. If you have a photo of the floor as it is now, you're welcome to mention it in the message and we'll ask for it when we call.

What you'll see

  • Color flake in gray, black or tan, spread evenly across the floor
  • A surface that reads as one piece from the door to the back wall
  • Edges finished clean along walls and door thresholds

Commercial and industrial floors

The same coatings we put in a garage go down in warehouses, workshops, retail space and offices. Two of the floors on this site are commercial bays: dark flake under a steel roof frame, and the same system in a bright unit with a glass door. The build is the same as a residential job, only bigger: the slab is diamond-ground, moisture-tested and crack-repaired, then coated in layers and finished with a polyaspartic top coat.

Who it's for

A shop or warehouse floor that has to look finished and stay even under daily use, a retail space or office where the floor is part of the room, or a bay that gets cleaned down at the end of the day. Flake is the usual choice for these floors; metallic is there if you want a showroom look.

What to tell us

The size of the space, what happens on the floor (foot traffic, carts, vehicles), when the space can be empty for the work, and your timeline. We'll price it from that and walk the slab before we start.

What you'll see

  • One seamless coated floor across the whole space
  • Flake in gray, black or tan, or a metallic finish
  • Edges finished clean along walls, posts and door thresholds
  • Prep done under HEPA dust control, so the space is ready to use when we leave

Floor coating questions

Can I see what a finished floor looks like?

Yes. Every photo on this site is a floor we coated: metallic and flake, in garages, on a covered lanai and in commercial bays. Our Google profile, linked in the footer, has more. Look at the edges and how even the color is; that is where a floor shows whether the crew took shortcuts.

Which should I choose, metallic or flake?

Decide by the look. Metallic gives you movement and depth: one dramatic surface where the pigments run through the clear coat. Flake gives you a speckled, even field of color in gray, black or tan. Tell us the room and the look you want and we'll point you to the right one.

Do you do more than garages?

Yes: commercial and industrial floors too, warehouses, workshops, retail and office space. The floors on this site include two commercial bays, a basement, a carport and a covered lanai as well as garages. If your floor is something else, call (951) 233-6568 and describe it.

How do you prepare the concrete?

Every floor starts the same way: the slab is diamond-ground to bare concrete, tested for moisture vapor, and cracks are repaired before any coating goes down. Grinding runs under HEPA dust control. Then the system goes on in coats, finished with a polyaspartic top coat.

Ready for a new floor?

Tell us which coating and when. We work Monday through Saturday, 7am to 4pm, in Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
