Flake Epoxy Floors: The Workhorse That Looks the Part

Decorative vinyl chips in wet epoxy create a durable, textured finish that hides everything and looks great doing it. The most popular coating system in America.

Flake epoxy (also called chip or vinyl chip flooring) is the single most popular floor coating system in America. It dominates because it solves every practical problem: the chips provide texture for grip, the pattern hides dust and stains, and the color options are nearly unlimited. Contractors love it because it is forgiving to install and customers always walk away happy. The two main styles — partial broadcast (chips scattered over visible base coat) and full broadcast (100% chip coverage with no base showing) — create very different aesthetics at different price points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Full broadcast means 100% of the surface is covered with chips — no base coat is visible. The result is a continuous, textured surface. Partial broadcast scatters chips so the colored base coat shows between them, creating a more open pattern. Full broadcast costs $1-2/sq ft more due to increased chip usage.

Standard chips are about 1/4 inch. Mini chips (1/8 inch) create a finer, more uniform texture. Blend sizes can be mixed for custom effects. Larger chips (up to 1 inch) exist but are less common in residential work.

Extremely durable. The chips are embedded in high-build epoxy (12-30 mils thick) and sealed with a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat. Residential flake floors last 15-20 years. Commercial installations last 10-15 years under heavy traffic.
