Metallic epoxy for design-forward Miami rooms.
Metallic is the system people call us about when the floor is supposed to be part of the design, not the thing you cover with a rug. Metallic pigment is suspended in clear resin, and as the resin cures the pigment flows and pools on its own. What you end up with reads like poured stone, hammered metal, or shallow water depending on the colors we mix. It happens once, on your slab, under your lights. Nobody can reproduce it exactly, including us.
In Miami that suits a specific kind of room. A Wynwood studio where the walls are already doing a lot and the floor has to keep up. A Design District retail space where the floor is the first thing a customer photographs. A Brickell condo with an open plan and hard afternoon light coming off the glass. A Coconut Grove living room where somebody wants one surface that feels custom instead of catalog. Those rooms have the light and the sightlines that make movement in a floor actually visible.
The look most Miami clients land on is water and stone: soft blue-greens that drift, or a terrazzo-adjacent mottle in warm neutrals. We did not invent that preference, the city did. Ocean and old terrazzo are the two floor references everybody here grew up with, and metallic can do both without the seams or the grinding schedule of real terrazzo. We mix toward whichever direction your room is already pointing rather than pouring the same palette everywhere.
Coverage across Miami.
We work Wynwood, the Design District, Brickell, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Little Havana, Edgewater, and the rest of the city, plus the surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods. Same crew, same prep, whether it is a one-room pour or a full floor.
What sets a Suncrete metallic epoxy install apart.
Most metallic floors that go wrong went wrong at the slab or at the topcoat. Nobody sees either one in a photo, which is exactly why they get cut on a cheap bid. We do not cut them, and we will tell you upfront if your room is a bad fit for this system.
Poured, one-of-a-kind movement
The pigment flows and pools while it cures, so the finished floor is unrepeatable. We pour sample panels under your own lighting before we commit the room, because color reads differently in a Miami interior than it does in our shop.
Humidity-aware slab work
Diamond grind and a moisture-vapor test before any resin goes down. Miami slabs push vapor year round, and a metallic floor that clouds or lifts because prep was rushed is a full tear-out in a finished room.
Its own protective clear
Metallic has to have a clear topcoat over it. That layer takes the abrasion so the pigment never gets touched, and it is what we refresh years later. Sheen tuned per room, from high gloss to a flatter satin.
Where metallic is the wrong call.
We would rather talk you out of this floor than install it somewhere it will disappoint you. Metallic shows scratches more than flake does. Flake has visual noise built into it, so a scuff blends in. Metallic is smooth and continuous, so a drag mark from a chair leg or a dropped tool reads across the surface. In a gallery or a condo that is a non-issue. Under a rolling tool chest it is a daily annoyance.
It also cannot go down bare. The metallic layer is soft on its own and needs its clear topcoat to survive anything. If a bid quotes you metallic with no separate protective coat, that is not a cheaper version of this floor, it is an unfinished one. And this is not a working shop floor system. Repair bays, welding areas, forklift traffic, anything with dropped steel and hot work, those get a different build from us and we will say so on the walk-through.
Common metallic epoxy applications.
The Miami project types we get asked for most. If your room will hide the movement or beat it up, the walk-through will point you at flake or a solid color instead. That conversation is free and it happens before anything is mixed.
Wynwood studios and galleries
Open floor plates with white walls and art on them. A quieter metallic in graphite or pearl gives the room depth without competing, and the clear holds up to opening-night foot traffic and rolling carts.
Design District retail
Storefronts where the floor is part of the merchandising. Metallic photographs well under retail lighting, which matters when half your customers find you through a phone screen first. Sealed for constant traffic and after-hours cleaning.
Brickell condo interiors
Coconut Grove living rooms
Single-room installs in older homes, a living room, an entry, a wine room. Warm neutrals with terrazzo-style mottle sit well against wood and older architecture. One pour day, topcoat after cure, back in the room on schedule.
Why this look landed in Miami.
The other Miami factor is humidity, and it sets our calendar more than anything else. Resin cures on a curve that moves with temperature and moisture, so we schedule the pour and the topcoat around real conditions in your space, not around a spec sheet written for a dry climate. In an unconditioned Wynwood building in August, that can mean starting early or running the AC through cure. On a Brickell floor with the building systems already on, it is straightforward. Either way we tell you what the schedule actually is before we start, and we re-test moisture on prep day rather than trusting the first reading.

What a Suncrete metallic install looks like.
Walk-through
Free, on site. Sample panels poured under your own Miami lighting. Moisture meter on the slab, scope confirmed in writing.
Prep day
Diamond grind to profile. Cracks chased and filled. Full vacuum. Moisture re-tested against the day’s humidity.
The pour
Metallic resin flowed and worked for depth. This is the part that only happens once, so we take the time it takes.
Topcoat and handoff
Clear protective coat over the art. Walk on it at 24 hours. We leave you a cleaning routine that will not dull the gloss.
Other Suncrete coating systems.
Sixteen systems in the kit. The right one comes down to the room and how hard it gets used, and we will point you at a different Miami finish if metallic is not it. Start at the Miami service page to see everything we run here.
What Miami clients ask us most.
Is every metallic floor really one of a kind?
Yes. The pigment flows and pools while the resin cures, so the pattern sets once, on your slab, in your room. No two Miami metallic floors come out the same, and we could not reproduce one exactly even if you asked us to. If you want a repeatable pattern, metallic is the wrong system.
Does metallic scratch more than flake?
It does show scratches more. Flake has visual texture that hides a scuff, while metallic is smooth and continuous so a drag mark reads across the surface. In a gallery, a condo, or a retail floor that is rarely an issue. Under rolling tool chests or dropped steel, we would put you on flake instead and tell you why.
Can metallic go down without a topcoat?
No. The metallic layer is soft on its own and has to have a clear protective coat over it. That coat carries all the wear and it is what we refresh years later. If a bid gives you metallic with no separate topcoat, you are being quoted an unfinished floor, not a cheaper one.
How does Miami humidity affect the schedule?
Resin cures on a curve that moves with temperature and moisture, so we schedule the pour and the topcoat around actual conditions in your space. In an unconditioned building in August that can mean an early start or running the AC through cure. We re-test the slab on prep day instead of trusting the first reading, and we tell you the real timeline before we begin.
Will it work in a working shop or repair bay?
Not our recommendation. Hot work, dropped steel, and forklift traffic will chew through a decorative topcoat, and metallic is not built for that duty. We run different systems for shop floors and we will say so at the walk-through rather than sell you a floor that fails in a year.
Got a slab? Let’s pour it right.
Send a photo and rough square footage and you get a real quote back in 24 hours. Nothing vague, nothing added on at the pour. Metallic epoxy installs across Miami and greater Miami-Dade.
Want to see the movement in person?
Photos only get you so far with a poured floor. Look through finished work, then have us pour panels in your own room. Suncrete Coatings works across Miami and Miami-Dade County.
