Understand the build
Depth begins below the surface.
Color, base preparation and the final surface work together. This is an educational path to discuss with your installer.
Metallic decorative coatDecorative layer
Pro Epoxy with approved metallic pigmentPigment and application technique create the pattern. Confirm the pigment, loading and decorative-coat procedure.
Compatible base / primerBase to specify
EpoxyStarz or another approved baseConfirm the base color and primer arrangement for the metallic design. Do not assume every base is interchangeable.
Moisture-control treatmentConditional step
AquaStop F.C. or E-96, when specifiedSelect one product after moisture testing and confirm its interface with the next coating.
Prepared concreteFoundation
Mechanical preparation; specified repairsEstablish sound, clean, profiled concrete. Evaluate moisture, cracks and joints before choosing the coating path.
The Pro Epoxy TDS identifies a clear coating for metallic systems and describes pigment options. The complete primer, decorative coat and final protection sequence needs project approval. Diagram thicknesses and layer separation are illustrative.
Why this path?
Give the floor a distinct character.
Make movement part of the design.
Metallic pigment and placement techniques create variation across the floor. Approve a sample that reflects the intended color and movement.
Start with metallic-grade epoxy.
Pro Epoxy is documented for metallic flooring. Use its current technical sheet to plan preparation, application and any additional finish.
Protect the appearance over time.
Plan grit removal, suitable cleaning and protective pads under movable items. The selected topcoat and daily use affect the care routine.
Match the path to the project
Where does this path fit?
Interior feature spaces
- Showrooms and boutiques
- Residential interior feature floors
- Retail and office feature areas
Exposure and traffic
- Direct sunlight through glazing
- Wheeled or concentrated traffic
- Wet entrances and cleaning chemicals
Resolve before coating
- Unresolved moisture or slab movement
- Unapproved exterior epoxy exposure
- Service conditions outside the approved build
Application examples guide the specification discussion. Confirm the complete assembly and actual service conditions before product selection.
Products in the path
Know the role before ordering.
Metallic pigments are selected from current color resources. Confirm the actual pigment SKU and loading with U.S. Resin before ordering.
Decorative coating + clear finish
Pro Epoxy
Metallic-grade epoxy; approve its role in each coat and the complete decorative procedure.
Base option, when specified
EpoxyStarz
A compatible product family named by the Pro Epoxy TDS. Confirm the exact base and color.
Repair, where specified
CrackStarz PolyFast
Assess defects before coating; poorly finished repairs can affect the decorative surface.
Before the first batch
Information for both sides of the job.
Installer planning
Approve the sample and base color
Agree on the pigment, color combination, movement and final surface in a physical sample. Record the base color and application method. A photograph does not define a repeatable floor pattern.
Assess moisture and the substrate
Test the concrete using the selected product’s required method. Remove incompatible coatings and contamination; identify repairs that could show through the finished floor.
Plan the decorative application
Use the Pro Epoxy TDS for mixing and application conditions. Confirm pigment loading, batch sizes, crew responsibilities and the working sequence before starting.
Confirm the final protection
Decide whether the specified Pro Epoxy finish is the final surface or whether an additional compatible topcoat is required. Confirm preparation and recoat requirements for that exact combination.
Record the finish and handover
Record product and pigment batches, the accepted sample and installed layers. Provide the owner with the approved cleaning method and return-to-use schedule for the complete build.
Owner & project guidance
Approve variation. The finished pattern will have its own flow. Review a physical sample and discuss how much movement and contrast you want.
Discuss sunlight. Tell your installer about glazed doors and strong sunlight. Epoxy can change color with UV exposure; select the complete finish accordingly.
Plan protection. Use suitable entrance mats and protective pads, remove grit and avoid dragging furniture across the floor.
Agree on access. Confirm separate dates for walking, furniture placement, cleaning and full service.
Ask a system question ↗Technical resources
Use the current product documents.
Read the TDS for preparation and application, and the SDS for handling. Request written guidance when the complete assembly needs confirmation.

Common questions
Before you choose the path.
Get the products, project conditions and next steps clear before installation.
Will my floor match the photograph exactly?
No. Metallic placement and flow create individual patterns. Use the photograph to discuss a direction, then approve a physical sample, color combination and expected range of variation.
Is metallic a different type of concrete?
Metallic describes the decorative epoxy finish placed over a prepared substrate. The concrete still needs the moisture assessment, repairs and surface preparation required by the specified coating path.
Which epoxy is shown for the metallic coating?
This page uses Pro Epoxy as the metallic-grade product to specify. Confirm the exact pigment, base color, decorative procedure and final protection with U.S. Resin; the diagram is not a complete installation specification.
Does the metallic layer need another clear coat?
The final protection depends on the complete build and service conditions. The Pro Epoxy TDS describes a clear finish for metallic systems and allows additional protection where required. Confirm whether a separate topcoat is part of your specification.
Can a metallic epoxy floor be used in strong sunlight?
Discuss UV exposure before selection. Epoxy can amber, so the pigment, location and complete protective finish need to be considered together. An attractive indoor sample is not approval for exterior use.
How do I keep the decorative finish looking good?
After full cure, remove grit and spills promptly, use approved neutral cleaners and soft cleaning tools, and protect the floor from dragged objects. Ask for care instructions for the actual final topcoat.
