STRONGHOLD FLOORS typically installs our decorative chip coatings using the blends listed on our website. Sometimes, however, commercial customers look to customize their blend of chips to better represent their company.
This insane, ghoulish blend featured in this blog post looks like something straight out of a witch's cauldron and is just in time for Halloween! Read on to learn more about this blend and how to customize your own blend of decorative chips.
The Ghoulish Coating
Last week, I was at our Baltimore office and found a sample bag of the craziest chip blend I’ve seen in almost ten years. While the colors are what first caught my eye, it was the blend's formula’s description that really was the icing on the cake:
|
Formula |
|
|
SLIME |
60% |
|
BLAZE ORANGE |
20% |
|
BLACK |
20% |
This unique blend of acrylic flakes (that are bonded between layers of our epoxy, polyaspartic polyurea flooring) made me think of the Halloween seasonal stores that pop up all around Pennsylvania and Maryland. This decorative chip blend would be perfect for any such themed location. The SLIME green specifically made me think of when GoDaddy.com sponsored Danica Patrick’s uniform and her Chevy NASCAR ride.
When Dave (out then Maryland sales manager & co-owner) arrived at the office, I asked, “WHO is looking to install THIS blend in their garage? Are you making a sample of this?”
Dave chuckled and replied “It’s not for a garage... and it’s already sold." Turns out, we'll be installing this blend as part of the service bays at Insane Car Audio in Annapolis, Maryland later this month. As I wasn't familiar with this company, I didn't immediately get why it was appropriate. Once Dave pulled up their logo and pictures, it became strikingly apparent. Insane Car Audio has a truly unique logo and motif for their location's interior spaces.
Does your Organization Need an Insane (Or Not So Insane) Custom Blend?
Do you need a unique color blend for your business or organization? While our chip manufacturer already has hundreds of preconfigured chip blends in 1/4'', 1/8'', and 1/16'' sizes, our staff can assist with creating custom blends using the 160+ solid color and brindled chips. There are even some flakes/chips that glow in the dark or are black-light reactive.
Other companies and organizations that used custom chip blends in their coatings installed by STRONGHOLD FLOORS include:
- Classic Drycleaners in Lemoyne, Mechanicsburg, and Enola, PA
- Sweet Frog in Carlisle, PA
- Duffy’s Bed & Biscuit in Hummelstown, PA
- J&S Landscaping near Danville, PA
- Rossmoyne Animal Emergency & Trauma Center in Mechanicsburg, PA
- Property Management Incorporated in Harrisburg, PA
