Hey there, concrete enthusiasts! Kerry Pharr here, owner of TKO Concrete, and I’m fired up today to talk about one of the most exciting aspects of epoxy flooring: color!
Forget those days of drab, gray concrete slabs. With epoxy coatings, your floor becomes a canvas for endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, modern look in your home or a vibrant, high-impact statement in your business, color choice plays a pivotal role.
Here’s the lowdown on how to make the most of your epoxy floor color:
1. Consider the Space:
- Residential: Warmer earth tones, like tans, browns, and terracottas, can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. For a more contemporary feel, consider cool grays, blues, or even a crisp white.
- Commercial: Bold, vibrant colors can enhance branding and create a memorable experience. Think about incorporating your company colors or using contrasting hues to define different areas.
- Industrial: Prioritize functionality. Safety yellow can mark walkways or hazardous zones, while light gray or beige can maximize reflectivity and brighten the workspace.
2. Explore the Spectrum:
- Solid Colors: A classic choice for a clean, uniform look. Don’t underestimate the power of a well-chosen solid color – it can be surprisingly impactful.
- Metallic Epoxy: Want a touch of drama? Metallic pigments create stunning, three-dimensional effects that shimmer and shift with the light.
- Color Chips: These decorative flakes add depth and texture, giving your floor a unique, speckled appearance. Mix and match different chip sizes and colors for a truly custom look.
- Quartz Systems: For heavy-duty applications, quartz systems offer incredible durability and a beautiful, granite-like finish.
3. Don’t Forget the Finish:
- High-Gloss: A popular choice for its reflective shine and easy-to-clean surface.
- Satin: Offers a softer sheen that’s less slippery and hides imperfections well.
- Matte: A non-reflective finish that creates a more understated look.
