When it comes to your garage, you’re used to seeing plain concrete floors. However, there’s a better option for garage floors that’s more durable, safer, and looks great.
Decorative chips, or color flakes, are a great way to spruce up your garage while also making it more functional. The decorative chip coating protects the concrete floor and turns your garage into the ultimate multi-use space. Whether you use it as a place to park your car, work on projects, or play ping-pong, a decorative chip floor works for every scenario.
What Are Decorative Chips?
Decorative chips, also known as color flakes, are a type of coating for flooring. They are small paint chips made from vinyl and acrylic resins that can come in a large variety of colors. The chips are randomly cut, but they are all about the same size, so the flooring looks cohesive.
At Garage Force, we use decorative chip coating on top of our concrete floors. The full chip system is a great way to preserve the concrete floor of your garage and add an anti-slip surface, and it looks great. The three-layer system is also much stronger than epoxy floors, and thanks to its UV stability, it’s great for indoor and outdoor flooring.
Plus, it’s perfect for residential and commercial garages because it resists, gas, salt, grease, and oil. Homeowners choose decorative chips to prevent their concrete from cracking and preserve the life of their flooring. However, thanks to the variety of color options and the look of the coating, it’s also a great decorative choice.
How to Decorate With Color Flakes
With so many options, how do you choose the best decorative chip flooring for your garage? The first thing you need to think about is the size of the chip flakes you want.
Chips can come in multiple sizes, but we recommend the quarter-inch size. The smaller chips look more uniform, and they are currently trendier than larger chip sizes.
Next, decide what color you want. We offer everything from muted neutral tones, like the camel color, to bright shades like denim. The best way to choose a color is to think about the rest of your garage.
If you are using decorative chips for your commercial auto shop, you want to choose a color that coordinates with your branding. Plus, if you do a lot of work from your garage, you may want to go with a color that will hide stains.
Lastly, we offer decorative chip floorings made from real stones. If you want your floor to look more natural, consider the basalt, garnet, or other stone options.
