"When we observed how they laid the epoxy base, we knew we had chosen the right company. It was so meticulously and smoothly laid. Immediately afterwards, they distributed the colored chips uniformly...at every stage, the crew did an excellent job...We highly recommend this company - thank you Stronghold Floors for a job well done!" — Louise Kirby

Decorative Chip & Flake Floor Coatings: The Floor Most Customers Choose

Want a garage or basement floor that looks great, shrugs off abuse, and wipes clean in seconds? A decorative chip and flake coating is how you get it, and it is the most popular system we install. It outperforms solid color epoxy, paint, tile, and DIY kits on the things that matter: durability, appearance, cleanability, and long-term cost.

Colored vinyl chips are broadcast over an epoxy or polyaspartic base coat, then sealed under a clear protective topcoat, for a durable, slip-resistant, terrazzo-like floor that hides dirt, scratches, and imperfections in the concrete beneath.

  • Hides the mess: disguises dirt, scuffs, and drips between cleanings
  • Safer footing: aluminum oxide additives for slip resistance
  • Your look: 19 color blends and three chip sizes
  • Takes a beating: resists hot tires, road salt, oil, gas, and chemicals
  • Backed in writing: full multi-year warranty, no pro-rating

Frequently Asked Questions about
Decorative Chip & Flake Floor Coatings

What protects the chips?

All of our decorative chip floor coating systems will feature a clear, protective layer. That layer may be UV resistant epoxy or, more often, a UV stable polyaspartic, polyurethane, or polyurea.

Our staff will assist you with proper system selection based upon where the system will be installed, how the system will be used, and the conditions the system will be subjected to.

How many layers of chips are used?

Decorative chip floor coating systems are normally done in either a single or dual broadcast.

In a single broadcast system, the decorative chips are bonded on top of a colored epoxy or colored polyaspartic. Once the excess chips are removed, a clear, protective top coating is applied. This type of system is typical of residential garages, basements, or low traffic commercial usage.

In a dual broadcast system, an additional intermediate layer is applied using a clear epoxy or clear polyaspartic to bind the second layer of chips. This type of floor coating system is more common in commercial or exterior applications.

Why are decorative chip coatings the most common coating system for residential garages?

A decorative chip floor coating system provides the following advantages over a solid color, metallic epoxy, or colored quartz floor coating system:

  • Hides dirt better due to the size of chips vs. the debris laying on the surface.
  • Hides scuffs better because of how the blends' colors break up the look of the surface.
  • Hides changes in the concrete floor's profile better (doesn't accentuate the slope, waviness, or dips).
  • Provides the greatest number of design possibilities.
  • Blends in with or compliments the interior and exterior colors of most homes.
Is a decorative chip the same as a decorative flake?
Yes, the term chip and flake (and even fleck) are commonly interchanged. Decorative chip or flake is most commonly used in a blend of three or more distinct colors. It's very rare for only a single or dual color to be used in a decorative chip floor coating system.
