Why Color Chips Matter

Epoxy flooring is strong and long-lasting, but the real magic comes from the color chips. These decorative flakes transform gray concrete into a surface that’s stylish, safe, and totally custom.

At Superior Garage Floors USA, we help homeowners and businesses design unique custom flake blends that match their style. From neutral desert tones to modern metallics, your floor can be as subtle or as bold as you want.

What Are Epoxy Color Chips?

Color chips—also known as vinyl flakes—are small, colorful pieces of acrylic or vinyl. They’re broadcast onto wet epoxy before being sealed under a clear topcoat.

The result is a seamless, durable surface that hides imperfections, resists stains, and provides slip protection.

Chips are available in:

  • Sizes: 1/32-inch micro flakes to 1-inch statement pieces

  • Finishes: Matte, satin, or glossy

  • Colors: Hundreds of options, from earth tones to vibrant hues

They’re ideal for garages, patios, showrooms, and commercial floors where durability meets design.

Why Choose a Custom Blend

Pre-mixed flake kits can look nice—but custom blends look yours. By mixing sizes and colors, you can mirror your home’s palette or your business’s brand.

Examples:

  • A Scottsdale homeowner blends gray, white, and charcoal for a sleek, modern garage.

  • A Gilbert family chooses beige, tan, and cream for a warm desert vibe.

  • A Phoenix auto shop adds blue and silver for a bold, professional finish.

Every blend reflects your taste while adding long-term value to your property.

How We Create Your Blend

At Superior Garage Floors USA, custom design is easy and precise:

  1. Consultation: We show you hundreds of color options and examples.

  2. Ratio Planning: You decide how much of each color appears.

  3. Flake Size: Pick micro for smooth or large for bold texture.

  4. Sample Board: We create a real-life mockup under natural light.

  5. Installation: Our team applies the blend evenly, sealing it with a UV-stable topcoat.

Your finished floor is unique, balanced, and built to last.

The Functional Benefits of Color Chips

Color chips do more than decorate. They:

  • Hide concrete flaws and patch marks.

  • Add texture for slip resistance.

  • Reduce glare from sunlight or lighting.

  • Extend the coating’s lifespan by adding structure.

That’s why flake floors are the top choice for Arizona garages, workshops, and driveways.

Choosing the Right Flake Size

Flake size affects both texture and look:

  • Micro (1/32 – 1/16 in.): Smooth and refined—great for contemporary styles.

  • Small (1/8 in.): Balanced and subtle—our most popular size.

  • Standard (1/4 in.): Excellent for large garages—hides dirt and cracks.

  • Large (½–1 in.): Bold, high-contrast texture for standout floors.

Some clients mix two or more sizes for depth and visual motion.

Popular Arizona Color Palettes

Arizona homes often favor natural shades that keep cool in sunlight. Our most requested blends include:

  • Desert Canyon: Beige, cream, and brown—classic Southwest warmth.

  • Silver Granite: Gray, charcoal, and white—timeless and clean.

  • Copper Mesa: Bronze and black—reflects desert sunsets.

  • Quartz Sand: Tan, ivory, and soft gray—bright and elegant.

  • Midnight Storm: Black and silver—sleek and modern.

At Superior Garage Floors USA, you can see large samples before installation so your choice fits perfectly.

How Epoxy Flake Floors Are Installed

A precise process ensures strength and beauty:

  1. Prep: Diamond-grind the concrete for adhesion.

  2. Base Coat: Apply industrial-grade epoxy.

  3. Chip Broadcast: Evenly spread your custom blend.

  4. Scrape & Vacuum: Remove loose flakes for a smooth texture.

  5. Topcoat: Seal with urethane or polyaspartic for gloss and UV protection.

The finished floor is slip-resistant, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean.

Simple Maintenance, Long Life

Epoxy flake floors need little upkeep:

  • Sweep or leaf-blow weekly.

  • Mop with mild soap and water.

  • Avoid harsh acids or abrasives.

  • Re-seal every 7–10 years for peak shine.

The coating resists fading, peeling, and tire marks—even under Arizona’s heat.
