Free Estimate — (312) 837-7156Metallic epoxy flooring is unlike any other floor coating on the market. Rather than a flat, uniform color, metallic pigments suspended in a high-solids epoxy resin flow and swirl during application — producing a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional effect that resembles flowing lava, deep ocean water, polished stone, or molten metal. No two floors are ever identical.
Beyond aesthetics, the system delivers serious performance: a properly installed metallic epoxy floor is chemical-resistant, impact-resistant, and far easier to maintain than bare concrete, tile, or hardwood. A high-build epoxy base plus an aliphatic urethane or polyaspartic topcoat yields a surface that handles Chicago winters, heavy foot traffic, and everyday spills without complaint.
High Class Epoxy LLC has been installing metallic epoxy floors across the Chicago metro — from Lincoln Park condos to North Shore showrooms — and every project starts with a thorough consultation so you get exactly the color, finish, and design effect you envision.
What Makes Metallic Epoxy Special?
Standard epoxy floors add protection and color to concrete. Metallic epoxy goes several steps further. Micronized metallic pigments — aluminum, pearl, copper, bronze, and more — are mixed directly into the resin and then manipulated with brushes, compressed air, and rollers while the epoxy is still wet. The pigment particles migrate and settle in unpredictable patterns that create genuine depth: highlights that shimmer as you move across the floor, shadows that suggest topography, and color transitions that shift in different lighting conditions.
The result is a seamless, grout-free surface that is dramatically easier to clean than tile and dramatically more beautiful than plain concrete. Because the metallic layer is encapsulated under a UV-stable clear topcoat, the colors do not fade, yellow, or oxidize. The floor you install today will look just as stunning a decade from now.
Truly Unique Appearance
No two metallic epoxy floors are identical. Organic flow patterns guarantee a custom result every single time.
Commercial-Grade Durability
Multi-layer systems reach Shore D hardness over 80 — tougher than most hardwood floors and virtually impervious to chemicals.
Seamless & Hygienic
No grout lines means no dirt traps. Bacteria, mold, and moisture have nowhere to hide.

Metallic pigments bounce light around the room, making spaces feel larger and brighter.

Where to Use Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy is versatile enough for nearly any interior concrete floor. Here are the most popular applications we handle in Chicago:
Living Rooms & Entryways
Elevate the heart of your home with a floor that becomes the centerpiece. Metallic epoxy complements modern, industrial, and luxury interior styles alike. It pairs beautifully with exposed concrete ceilings, open-plan living, and statement furniture.
Basements
Chicago basements are prone to moisture and humidity. Metallic epoxy with a moisture-tolerant primer creates a breathtaking finished basement floor that resists mold, handles minor humidity fluctuations, and makes the space feel like a high-end lounge rather than storage.
Showrooms & Retail
First impressions matter. A gleaming metallic floor signals quality, confidence, and attention to detail the moment a customer walks in. Car dealerships, jewelry boutiques, fitness studios, and tech showrooms across Chicago choose metallic epoxy for exactly this reason.
Restaurants & Hospitality
The food-service industry demands floors that are hygienic, durable, slip-resistant, and visually striking. Metallic epoxy checks every box: seamless surface, NSF-compliant coatings available, non-porous structure that resists grease and cleaning chemicals, and a design impact that enhances the dining ambiance.
The Installation Process
Every High Class Epoxy LLC metallic floor follows our proven five-step process, refined over hundreds of Chicago installs:
- 01
Free Consultation & Surface Assessment
We visit your property, measure the floor, assess concrete condition and moisture levels, and discuss color and design options. You receive a detailed written quote — no pressure, no hidden fees.
- 02
Surface Preparation
This is the most critical phase. We use professional diamond grinding equipment to mechanically open the concrete pores, achieve the correct surface profile (CSP 2–3), and remove any previous coatings, paint, or adhesive residue. Cracks and spalls are repaired with epoxy mortar.
- 03
Moisture Barrier & Primer Coat
A 100% solids epoxy primer is applied to penetrate the concrete and create a strong mechanical bond. On floors with elevated moisture vapor emissions, we use a dedicated moisture-mitigating primer rated for up to 25 lbs/1,000 sq ft/24 hrs.
- 04
Metallic Base Coat & Design Application
The metallic epoxy is poured and spread across the primed floor. Our applicators use squeegees, notched trowels, compressed air, and brushes to push the metallic pigment into the desired swirl, marble, or geode pattern. This stage is an art form — no two results are the same.
- 05
Clear Topcoat & Cure
A high-build polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane topcoat seals and protects the design layer. It adds UV stability, chemical resistance, and the chosen sheen (matte, satin, or high-gloss). The floor is ready for light foot traffic in 24 hours and full vehicle loading in 5–7 days.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring Cost in Chicago
Metallic epoxy flooring in the Chicago metro typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot installed, depending on several factors:
- Floor size — larger areas benefit from lower per-square-foot pricing
- Current concrete condition — significant crack repair or shot blasting adds cost
- Design complexity — single-color pour vs. multi-color geode or 3D effect
- Finish system — standard epoxy topcoat vs. premium polyaspartic or polyurea
- Anti-slip additive — recommended for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces
The best way to get an accurate price is a free on-site estimate. We measure, assess your concrete, walk you through design options, and hand you a written quote — usually within 24 hours of the visit. There is no obligation and no sales pressure.
