Chip flake floors are built by scattering colored vinyl chips across a wet base coat until the surface is fully covered. The chips hide imperfections, add subtle texture for grip and create endless color blends from calm gray to bold multicolor. A clear topcoat locks it in.
Metallic floors use pigments that swirl through the resin, producing marbled, three-dimensional effects that shift in the light. Each one is unique. Whichever you choose, the floor is sealed with a durable clear coat for easy cleaning and lasting shine.
You may need this if
- You want the floor to be the centerpiece
- Your slab has patches or stains that a solid color would show
- You are building a car or lifestyle garage
- You want a floor that hides dust well
From plan to finished.
The steps for flake & metallic floors, in the order they happen.
- 01
Pick the look
Use the Design Studio and physical samples to select a flake blend or a metallic color story.
- 02
Prepare the slab
Grinding, crack repair and priming create the foundation for the decorative layer.
- 03
Apply the decorative layer
Flake is broadcast to rejection, or metallic pigments are worked in by hand for the pattern.
- 04
Seal for protection
One or more clear topcoats add depth, shine and chemical and wear resistance.
What you get.
One-of-a-kind finish
Metallic floors are unique, and no two look exactly alike.
Added traction
The texture of flake gives a little more grip than a smooth solid coat, and grip additives can be added.

Good questions about flake & metallic floors.
What is the difference between flake and metallic?
Flake is a layered chip finish with a speckled look and texture. Metallic is a smooth, marbled finish with depth and movement.
Which hides dirt best?
A full-broadcast multicolor flake is the most forgiving. Solid and light metallic colors show more.
Can I have a custom blend?
Yes. Many blends can be adjusted, and we can mock up a few options for comparison.
