The UK Penny Floor Project | How we took 27,000 1p coins and created a penny floor




https://youtu.be/GdKM4FvGGPY

When thinking about what to lay in the kitchen Amy came up with a fantastic idea inspired by what she had researched online. We saw a bunch of penny floor projects in the USA, it seemed a really popular way of creating a bespoke retro floor for any part of the house, but wasnt done in the UK. Challenge accepted!

We took 27,000 1p coins and decided to give our kitchen diner a new look. Each coin was individually glued to the floor which had been self levelled before hand and left to dry. After gluing down all the coins a black grout was applied to fill the gaps followed by a high gloss epoxy resin to cover and seal.

The end result is simply awesome. The floor looks stunning and the weeks of hard work has been worth the pain.

Gee, we are thinking of updating our kitchen soon. Now I know what to do with my ice cream tubs full of reject (mostly green) 'coppers'.

That was great to see, good on em. Imagine finding a rare variety two paces in and one to the right, or a 1930 penny at the fridge. May find yourself constantly going for a coldie. :yahoo:

Looks nice to start with, but you would have to be careful to wipe your feet well when entering.
I would have like to have seen some sort of mosaic picture.
