Glitter Epoxy Flooring in Northeast Ohio
Glitter epoxy takes a standard coating system and adds real sparkle — literally. Metallic glitter flake is broadcast into the base coat and sealed under a crystal-clear, high-gloss topcoat, creating a floor that catches light from every angle. It’s a favorite for garages that want a little personality, basements, playrooms, and any space where a plain floor just won’t cut it.
What Is Glitter Epoxy Flooring?
Glitter epoxy flooring is a decorative coating system where reflective glitter particles are broadcast into a pigmented or clear epoxy base coat, then sealed under a durable, high-clarity topcoat. Unlike a standard flake system, which uses larger, matte or semi-gloss vinyl chips, glitter systems use fine, reflective particles designed specifically to catch and scatter light for maximum sparkle.
Our process, like every system we install, is built in layers:
- Concrete repair and diamond grinding for proper adhesion
- Epoxy base coat in your chosen background color
- Glitter broadcast to your preferred density and color combination
- UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for crystal clarity, durability, and long-term protection
Why Clarity and UV Stability Matter Most on a Glitter Floor
A glitter floor lives or dies by how clear the topcoat stays over time. If the topcoat yellows or hazes even slightly, it dulls the sparkle and mutes the exact effect you paid for — arguably more than any other finish we offer, because glitter’s entire appeal is reflectivity and clarity.
This is why we exclusively use a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat on every glitter installation. Polyaspartic is significantly more resistant to the yellowing and ambering that

Glitter Epoxy vs. Standard Flake Epoxy
Flake systems use larger vinyl chips for a textured, speckled look with strong slip resistance. Glitter systems use fine reflective particles for maximum shine and sparkle rather than texture. Both are durable, multi-layer systems — the difference is purely aesthetic. If you want a bold, eye-catching look, glitter is the stronger choice. If traction and a more understated texture are the priority, flake may be the better fit. Some customers combine the two, using a light flake base with glitter accents mixed in.
Glitter Epoxy vs. Basic Epoxy Paint
There is no comparison here. Craft-store or hardware-store glitter additives mixed into a basic paint kit are not designed for floor-grade durability, and they will scratch, dull, and wear through quickly under any real foot traffic. Our glitter system is a full professional coating build with proper concrete prep and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat designed to handle actual daily use while keeping the sparkle effect intact for years.
Our 25-Year Adhesion Warranty
Every glitter epoxy floor is backed by our 25-year warranty against peeling, delamination, and blistering from the concrete substrate under normal use, fully transferable if you sell your home.
This is an adhesion warranty, not a cosmetic one — it doesn’t cover fading, scratching, or dulling from improper cleaning products. That’s exactly why we build every glitter system with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat rather than a standard epoxy finish: it’s the difference between a floor that stays sparkling and one that dulls out early.

Caring for a Glitter Epoxy Floor
Dust mop or sweep regularly — fine grit is the main cause of a dulled sparkle effect over time
Damp mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner
Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive scrub pads, which can scratch and cloud the high-gloss topcoat
Wipe up spills promptly to keep the surface looking its best
No waxing or resealing required under normal residential use
Frequently Asked Questions
Is glitter epoxy flooring durable enough for a garage?
Yes. Our glitter systems use the same multi-layer construction and UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat as our other garage floor systems, giving you real durability along with the sparkle effect.
Can I choose the color and density of the glitter?
Yes. You can choose your base color and how much glitter is broadcast, from a subtle shimmer to a bold, all-over sparkle. We’ll show you sample options during your free consultation.
Will the glitter floor lose its sparkle over time?
Not with proper care and our UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, which resists the yellowing and haziness that dulls sparkle on lower-quality systems. Regular dusting also helps maintain maximum shine.
Is a glitter epoxy floor slippery?
It has a smooth, high-gloss finish, so we can add a non-slip additive to the topcoat in areas where traction is a priority, such as basement stairwells or entryways.
How much does glitter epoxy flooring cost?
Cost depends on square footage, base color, and glitter coverage. We provide a free, on-site, written quote for every project.
How long does a glitter epoxy floor last?
With proper concrete prep and a UV-stable topcoat, a glitter floor typically lasts 15 to 25+ years in residential use.
