During application of a second layer of floor coating, the glitter is gently blown out over the floor while the epoxy is still liquid. Swirls settle in and are permanently trapped. A three-finger pinch of glitter with the applicator is all that is needed. The most common colors are silver or gold, but other colors or blends of colors are available including red, blue, green, and copper. A personally customized floor is easily created by combining a choice of glitter with any of dozens of epoxy colors and/or colored chip options.
Other looks available include granite, tile, and slate. Logos, stripes and "yellow brick roads" are sometimes added to the floors of restaurants, "collector cars" garages, basements, and even food processing plants. The finish can be gloss, flat, or satin. Additionally, the floors may be skid-resistant, like emery paper, yet still easy to sweep or squeegee.
Epoxy flooring goes on at the job site and requires no seams. With no breaks in the surface, the floor coating becomes a continuous membrane that seals what is above from what is below. Mold, mildew, and other contaminants cannot penetrate the epoxy membrane and wash off easily.
