Are you a high-end business or maybe a business that is aspiring to appear high-end? Do you want to make a statement with your floors? Consider decorative mica flakes combined with V-8’s Hybrid XT coating for an affordable and beautiful custom floor.
What are Mica Flakes?
Available in several colors, mica flakes actually come from a group of sheet silicate minerals that include muscovite and phlogopite. With a tendency toward hexagonal crystals, mica has a smooth repeating surface which easily peels or flakes.
According to the Chambers 20th Century Dictionary, the word mica is derived from the Latin meaning crumb and is probably influenced by the verb micare, to glitter. And that’s what gives mica flakes combined with V-8’s Hybrid XT coating such a stunning finish, its natural metallic shimmer.
Until the early 1800’s, Mica was quite rare and expensive because of its limited supply. The price fell dramatically at the beginning of the 19th century when miners discovered large deposits of mica in Africa, South America, and Canada. Today, V-8 High-Performance Floors Certified Installers can install a beautiful, high-end, custom Hybrid XT polymer floor with decorative mica flakes for a fraction of the cost of other high-end floors such as terrazzo or marble tile.
Easy to Care For
In addition to the elegant, quartz-like appearance of a mica flake polymer floor, V-8 customers are extremely pleased with how easy the floors are to maintain. Once the flooring installation is complete, there are no additional sealers or finishes required, ever. And because the mica flakes are sealed with V-8’s proprietary finish, they never fade or flake. To refresh the gleam and retain the rich look, you simply sweep and mop with a gentle cleanser. And, along with all natural mica, the hybrid coating is environmentally friendly as well. There are no VOC’s and no odors, and the finish is chemical resistant and does not fade or yellow over time or when exposed to UV light waves.
