If you’ve ever walked into a garage, basement, or showroom and admired a floor with colorful speckled patterns, you were probably looking at chip flakes in action. These small, polymer-based flakes are more than just decorative—they’re a vital part of modern concrete coating systems. At TruGrit Concrete Coatings, chip flakes are a key ingredient in creating floors that look great, perform under stress, and stand the test of time.
Chip flakes are made from durable polymers designed to handle heavy foot traffic, chemical exposure, and sunlight. Unlike simple paint chips, they’re engineered for resilience. Once broadcast into a polyurea or epoxy basecoat and sealed with a polyaspartic topcoat, they bond directly into the surface. The result is a floor that’s not only more stylish, but also stronger and more resistant to everyday wear.
The benefits of chip flakes go far beyond appearance. Their texture helps improve slip resistance, making them safer in garages, kitchens, and commercial spaces. They also hide imperfections in older or patched concrete, giving floors a refreshed, uniform look. With countless blends and color options, they’re highly customizable, allowing homeowners and businesses to match their style without sacrificing durability.
Many people wonder whether flake floors feel rough. Thanks to the clear topcoat TruGrit applies, the surface is smooth to walk on while still offering just enough texture for added grip. It’s a balance of comfort and safety.
TruGrit’s six-step installation process ensures every project is completed with precision. From grinding and repairing the concrete, to broadcasting flakes, to sealing with a UV-stable topcoat, the team delivers results in as little as one day. This efficient process provides a durable finish that resists cracking, fading, and staining.
