3D Floor
Epoxy cast 3D floors are a modern and attractive way to transform interiors and give them a unique look. These floors are made of epoxy resin, which is applied onto the substrate and creates a smooth and shiny surface layer. 3D effects and patterns are achieved either by artistically applying different colors and textures to the epoxy mixture, or by inserting of various flat objects (coins, beer coasters, beer crowns, stones, etc.) or by inserting of 3D wallpapers, pictures, photos, etc. This technology allows you to create floors with optical impression of depth and space, which can visually enlarge the room. Epoxy cast floors are abrasion and chemical resistant, suitable for residential use. They are seamless, therefore easy to maintain and clean.
You can buy these materials in our e-shop Epoxio.
