Ah yes.... But!
What you don't see in the picture is the aluminum pedestal base this mounts on and the aluminum backing plate. The floor panels have also been made out of 3/4 Blue water Cosa Board.

paint type
We used a black epoxy paint. and will scuff it with a scotch pad in a few days once it has cured so it cuts down the gloss and will leave a mat finish.
