Decorative Concrete
One-of-a-Kind Metallic Epoxy Floors in Austin
Designer metallic epoxy floors with marble- and lava-like depth.

Our Approach to Metallic Epoxy
Metallic epoxy turns a plain slab into a one-of-a-kind floor with marble- and lava-like depth. We've installed metallic systems across Austin garages and interiors - each one unique because the pigments move during install. Sealed and topcoated for real-world wear.
How Metallic Pigment Dispersion Creates Each Design
Metallic epoxy is the showpiece of decorative-coating systems, and Austin Concrete Finishes has been installing these floors across Austin since 2005. Metallic pigments are blended into the resin and then moved during install - by squeegee, blower, or solvent drop - to create a marbled, cloud-like, or lava-like effect that’s literally one of a kind.
Built to Handle Austin Garages and Showrooms
The decorative metallic layer sits between a primer and a UV-stable polyaspartic or clear epoxy topcoat. Austin Concrete Finishes starts every install with diamond grinding and crack repair to ensure long-term adhesion - especially important on Central Texas slabs where clay soil movement can stress coatings. The topcoat handles real life: cars rolling in and out of a garage, foot traffic in a retail showroom, or daily wear in a living space.
Spaces That Show Off the Depth and Movement
Metallic epoxy lives or dies by the lighting. It looks best in spaces with overhead lighting that catches the depth: three-car garages, showrooms, restaurants, and modern interior rooms with track or recessed lights. The Austin Concrete Finishes crew has installed 20+ metallic floors in homes and businesses across West Lake Hills, Lakeway, Cedar Park, and the greater Austin metro. We preview color palettes with you before the job starts so the final effect matches your space.

What Customers Say
Austin Customers on Their Finished Concrete
"Our 20-year-old garage slab had peeling DIY epoxy. They ground it all back, fixed the cracks, and the new flake floor still looks showroom-clean through two Texas summers."
David R.
Round Rock
"The pool deck stays cool enough to walk on barefoot in August now, and it's no longer slick. Exactly what we hoped for."
Sarah M.
Lakeway
"Polished our downstairs floors to a soft satin sheen. Easy to clean, and they clearly did the prep right. No shortcuts."

FAQ
Metallic Epoxy: Your Questions Answered
Will my metallic floor look like the sample? +
It will be the same color palette, but no two metallic floors are identical. The pigments move during cure, which is the whole point - every floor is one of a kind.
Is metallic epoxy as durable as flake epoxy? +
Yes, when topcoated. We install metallic as the decorative layer and protect it with a clear polyaspartic or epoxy topcoat rated for garage traffic, UV exposure, and daily wear.
Where does metallic epoxy work best? +
Garages, showrooms, restaurants, and interior spaces with overhead lighting that brings out the depth. Three-car garages and modern feature rooms with recessed or track lighting show the strongest effect.
How much does a metallic epoxy floor cost in Austin? +
Pricing is custom and project-based because it depends on square footage, slab condition, and the metallic effect chosen. We provide free same-day quotes after reviewing photos of the slab (2026 rates).
