Metallic epoxy gives a seamless floor with a marbled, pearl-like depth. It suits showrooms, retail and homes, but it needs a sound slab and some care to keep it looking good.
Updated 26 October 2026
In short: Metallic epoxy is a decorative epoxy floor with metallic pigments worked into a clear layer, giving a seamless marbled look. It suits showrooms, retail and homes, sits at the upper end of the S$4–S$12 per sq ft epoxy range, and needs a level slab, a protective top coat and anti-slip in wet areas.
Metallic epoxy is a decorative epoxy system: a coloured base coat, a clear epoxy layer mixed with metallic pigments that’s moved around while wet to create flowing patterns, and a protective top coat. No two floors look the same.
It’s less suited to heavy industrial use, forklift routes or wet areas without an anti-slip finish. For those, see warehouse epoxy flooring.
Expect about two to four days on site including curing, depending on the area and product.
Singapore guides put installed epoxy at roughly S$4 to S$12 per sq ft. Metallic and other decorative systems sit at the upper end because of the extra layers and hand finishing. Removing existing tiles adds to the cost. See the epoxy flooring price guide.

It can be used in dry areas as a coating within HDB’s floor-finish rules. Check with your HDB-registered contractor before starting, and avoid wet areas without an anti-slip finish.
The glossy finish can be slippery when wet. A textured or matt top coat helps in areas that get wet.
With good preparation and care it commonly lasts several years; a new top coat can refresh the surface.
Sometimes, but grout lines and loose tiles can show through or crack the coating. Removing the tiles usually gives a better result.
