Decorative & 3D Epoxy Flooring in Nairobi

Metallic, 3D, marble, or one flat colour

Metallic is the finish people arrive asking for: two or three pigments worked wet-on-wet so the floor reads like poured stone, with depth that moves as you cross the room. A marble effect is the same technique held to a tighter palette and cut with a fine white vein. Both are decided on a sample board on your own slab, in your own light, before a single pail is opened; pigment behaves differently under a north-facing window than it does under downlights.

A 3D floor turns the method inside out. The picture is a printed image laid flat on a pigmented base coat, then buried under a clear self-levelling pour thick enough to give it depth, so what you walk on is resin over the image, never the print itself. It is only as good as the base under it: any ridge in the slab shows as a crease in the picture.

A plain solid colour is the quiet version of the same system, and often the right one in an office or a corridor. It costs less in pigment and labour, shows every bit of poor prep underneath, and looks flawless when the prep was right.

What a mirror floor tells on you for

A high-gloss floor is honest to a fault. It shows dust, it shows a dropped bolt, and it shows any hollow or ridge the slab had before we got there, which is why the grind and the levelling matter more here than on any other system we lay. It is also not a slip-resistant surface when wet, and we will not specify it gloss for a bathroom or a poolside without working fine aggregate into the topcoat.

The other honest limit is sunlight. A standard epoxy clear yellows under direct UV. Every decorative floor we lay is topped with a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane instead, and even then, a floor in an atrium with hard south light will shift more over ten years than one in a hallway. If that matters, we say so at quoting, not afterwards.
