We asked Chris Trageser, Commercial Product Manager for Stonhard (parent company to Kemtile), to tell us more about a fast-growing trend in commercial flooring that places design alongside function, artistry with engineering to create a truly lasting impression
Modern commercial spaces are redefining what flooring can be.
Once chosen purely for function, today’s floors are making bold design statements by bringing together colour, texture, and pattern with the strength and performance businesses demand.
At the forefront of this evolution is decorative epoxy flooring, a seamless and durable surface that merges artistry with engineering. From metallic swirls to vibrant flakes and natural quartz blends, these systems are transforming environments across industries.
Epoxy flooring isn’t new to commercial and industrial spaces, it has been trusted for decades for its durability and longevity.
What is new is how design possibilities have expanded.Thanks to advances in resin technology and colour development, epoxy flooring systems are now just as much about style as they are about substance.
Architects and designers are using decorative epoxy to create spaces that align with brand identity, enhance atmosphere, and stand up to continuous traffic, all without sacrificing function.
Metallic Epoxy: Fluid, Reflective, and One-of-a-Kind
Metallic epoxy floors bring depth and movement to commercial interiors. Their signature shimmer comes from metallic pigments mixed into a clear epoxy base, creating a marbled, almost 3D effect.
No two floors are ever the same, making them a favourite in hospitality, retail, and corporate environments where visual impact matters.
Flake Systems: Texture and Colour in Perfect Balance
Epoxy flake flooring systems combine decorative flakes with a seamless resin matrix for a look that’s both lively and low maintenance.
The multi-coloured flakes add visual interest while also helping to mask wear and traffic patterns, making this flooring ideal for bustling schools, hospitals, and office corridors.
Quartz Systems: Natural Beauty Meets Industrial Strength
Quartz-filled epoxy flooring systems blend the organic look of stone with the protective benefits of resin.
These floors are known for their fine-grain texture and uniform appearance, making them popular in pharmaceutical, laboratory, and commercial food spaces.
