Concrete Floor Coating Colors & Finishes

Explore decorative flake blends, metallic epoxy examples and different visual directions for your concrete floor.

Choosing Your Finish

The Finish Changes the Entire Look of the Floor

Decorative flakes can create anything from a subtle neutral surface to a much higher-contrast pattern, while metallic epoxy creates a completely different visual effect.

The right finish depends on the space around the floor, how much visual texture you want and the coating system being installed.

Gemstone can help you narrow the options after looking at the concrete and understanding the finished appearance you want.

A Note About Samples

Images on a screen are useful for comparing general color and contrast, but they should not be treated as an exact representation of the finished floor.

Lighting, surrounding colors, the coating system and installation can all affect the final appearance.

How to Narrow It Down

Choosing Between the Different Looks

Think about the entire space and how prominent you want the floor to be rather than choosing from a small sample in isolation.

01

Light vs. Dark

Consider whether you want the floor to brighten the room or add stronger contrast.

02

Low vs. High Contrast

Some blends appear quieter while stronger combinations create a more visible pattern.

03

Surrounding Colors

Walls, cabinetry, vehicles and surrounding finishes can all affect which blend feels natural.

04

Overall Style

Decide whether the floor should blend into the room or become a stronger design feature.

Metallic Epoxy

Looking for Something More Dramatic?

Metallic epoxy creates movement, depth and natural variation across the finished floor rather than the repeating texture of decorative flake.

Metallic Finish Example 01

Metallic pigment creates natural variation so each floor has its own visual character.

Metallic Finish Example 02

Color direction and pigment movement create a stronger design statement than a conventional flake system.

Finish vs. Coating System

The Color Is Only One Part of the Floor

The decorative layer determines much of what you see, but the floor still needs the right preparation and coating system underneath it.

Solid-Look Coating

Cleaner & More Uniform

A more uniform direction works well when you want the floor to visually recede.

Metallic Epoxy

Movement & Depth

Metallic pigment produces a more expressive decorative surface with visible movement.
