Metallic Epoxy Floors in Boise
A high-gloss, marbled finish with depth and movement — for showpiece garages, basements, home gyms and bars.
Get a Free QuoteMetallic epoxy uses mica pigments suspended in a clear 100%-solids epoxy. As it's worked across the floor, the pigment swirls and settles into a pattern that looks like polished stone, liquid metal or lava — no two floors are the same.
It's a statement floor. Homeowners choose it for car-collector garages, finished basements, man caves and home gyms where looks matter as much as toughness.

What to expect from a metallic floor
- Deep, three-dimensional look in almost any color combination
- Seamless, high-gloss surface that's easy to clean
- Typically finished with a clear topcoat for scratch and UV protection
- Smoother — and more slippery when wet — than a flake floor; anti-slip additive is recommended in garages
Garage vs basement installs
In a garage, metallic floors look incredible but show scratches, dust and tire marks more than a flake blend, so we recommend a protective topcoat and realistic expectations for a daily-driver garage. In a basement, the bigger issue is moisture coming up through the slab, so we test before quoting and add a moisture-mitigating primer if needed.
Why prep matters even more here
Metallic epoxy is a thin, glossy, self-leveling finish — every crack, divot and grinder mark under it can show. That's why metallic installs get extra attention during concrete repair and prep: full grind, crack and spall repair, and often a skim coat before the color layer. It's also why metallic floors cost more per square foot than flake.
Choosing colors
Charcoal-and-silver and white-and-gray are the most popular in Boise homes; copper, bronze and deep blues make dramatic basement and bar floors. We'll show you sample boards and photos of the color combinations at your estimate so you can see how they look in your light.
What it typically costs

Metallic Epoxy Floors FAQ
How much does a metallic epoxy floor cost?
Metallic epoxy typically runs about $7–$12 per sq ft installed in the Boise area. It costs more than flake because it needs more material, a smoother substrate and more skilled application. Heavy concrete repairs or moisture mitigation add to the price.
Is metallic epoxy good for a garage?
It can be, especially for show cars or a low-traffic garage. It's slicker and shows dust and tire marks more than a flake floor, so we recommend an anti-slip topcoat. For a busy daily-use garage, a flake system is usually the more practical choice.
Will metallic epoxy yellow?
Epoxy can amber over time where strong sunlight hits it. A UV-stable topcoat such as polyaspartic or polyurethane helps protect the color, which matters most near an open garage door. In a basement with little direct sun, yellowing is much less of a concern.
