At Blue Ridge Coatings and Supply, we are best known for creating durable flooring that can withstand the punishments of their respective environments. But flooring, like all construction, is about more than simply function; there’s also a style element. So today, we would like to discuss creative flooring design with epoxy and other floor coatings.
Logos and Branding
Epoxy and other coatings are frequently used in high-traffic areas or places where spills are more likely. They’re also popular in industrial settings, like factory floors. It’s not difficult to imagine why any manufacturing facility would need to protect its floor in a fast-moving assembly line where every person is using heavy tools!
Some of the most popular designs our clients ask us to incorporate are their company colors, logos, and other branding. And that makes sense.
Even though people mainly use epoxy in these areas for durability, that doesn’t mean they don’t want those workers to enjoy company spirit! And we all need a little color in our work environment.
Similarly, sometimes high-traffic areas are also public. When you have a lobby or waiting room where potential clients or other people you serve spend time, you want them to immediately get a sense of who your company is and feel welcome. You’ve likely walked into a public school to find the mascot beneath your feet.
Colors
Epoxy and other floor coatings are almost always compatible with adding color. So why sacrifice style for substance when you can just as easily have both?
Using colors in creative flooring design can range from a solid paint-like finish to more complex patterns. And you need not stick with only flat, simple tones. You can also add translucent tints and metallics for complexity.
Mimicry
Mimicry isn’t just for mimes and kids trying to annoy each other. It’s also a popular design element across many different structures and interior designs. You may have been in a car with a faux wooden dashboard. We can offer a similar idea with our creative flooring design.
Many people are familiar with stamped concrete, which looks like brick or stone without the labor cost. Well, we can offer similar ideas for interior flooring.
Some of the most popular design patterns we incorporate into our epoxy and other floor coatings mimic marbling or stone with swirl patterns.
Other Additives for Creative Flooring Design
Glitter has gotten a bad rap of late. Nobody wants a glitter bomb. But, if you want your floor to sparkle or shine, adding glitter or additives into your epoxy and other floor coating creates a unique shimmer without risk of ever leaving the floor!
You can even add gold flakes. Ain’t that rich?

We love working with our clients to create durable floors that are more than a place to put your feet. Whether you want a simple floor or are interested in creative flooring design, we will bring our decades of expertise to your project to create a floor that will stand the test of time.
