Seamless Chip Flooring
Chemical Resistant, UV Resistant
Durable, Economical and Attractive Seamless Flooring System
Uses All 100% Solids Material Making it a Zero (0)
VOC Material
No VOCs Means it Meets the Toughest Low VOC Requirements
Heavy traffic on floors often make the use of decorative flooring products impossible.
To make this possible we created Product #315 Seamless Polymeric Multi-Colored Flake Chip Floor
Resurfacing System. Our #315 Chip System
creates a beautiful, durable, and affordable floor that is easy to
apply by both professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts.
What is new and unique?
At last there is a high quality seamless floor finish which can be
provided in every desirable color combination. This system is
easy to use, by any skilled do-it-yourselfer or coating
professional. For potential customers, both commercial applicators 
and the do-it-yourselfer, the final result is most certainly
beautiful, affordable, and its durability insures the product to be
long lasting, waterproof, easy to clean, and maintenance free.
System #315 Seamless Epoxy Multi-Colored Chip Flooring is available in virtually limitless color combinations. If your job is big enough our chips can be pigmented to match all the colors of many major paint companies. We can color match our base coat colors as well. Unless the pigments for your custom colored 315 Basecoat are unusually expensive we can color match for a modest small batch charge, or at no charge for larger orders. Even our standard color pallet offers you over 45 chip colors that can be blended in any combination and percentage as you want.
By matching the base coat color in the chip, you make the system much
less prone to error. If you should happen to miss a small spot on 
the floor the base color shows through, looking like it is just more of
that chip in that area.
System #315 chips are also available in 7 sizes ranging from a 1 inch chip down to 1/32 inch chip. Smaller chips give the look a lot like epoxy quartz flooring. The various colors and sizes allow you to give your floor any number of looks like stone, terrazzo, colored quartz, or vibrant linoleum.
Our clear glaze coat does not yellow quickly like other epoxies. We have some jobs that have been around for 30 years or more where no yellowing can be found, not even under the urinals in high school bathrooms. This kind of durability is perhaps the most important quality of the #315 Chip Flooring System. Anyone can provide you with a flooring system that is attractive today. The #315 Chip Flooring System is the flooring system you need if you want it to stay like that for years to come.

Selecting your color
The concept is simple. It is a combination of chips and flooring resin. A new product is "born". The flooring resin plays a leading role in the quality of the flooring system. The color chips provide the additional decorative effect.
First pick the primary (background color). This color should be at least 40 to 50% of you total mix. The background color is picked from this color chart:

Three easy steps of application
The "sandwich" system
Epoxy.com Seamless Chip Flake Flooring System is easier to use than most people think. This ease of use also automatically means that work can be done more quickly.
Saving time and money, while increasing quality!
Step 1: A
layer of flooring resin is applied to a suitable substrate.
Step 2: The application of the color chips can be done by broadcasting the floor to saturation (refusal)
Step 3: The transparent top coat, which is applied in one or more layers, determines the final thickness.
As dazzling as the visual effect is, there is more to making a product successful. There are many factors contributing to the success of Epoxy.com Chip Flooring.
Ease of Application
Many floor companies have difficulty finding good floor layers. The
introduction of an
easy-to-install product will be appreciated by everyone. The Chip
Flooring precludes processing mistakes. It is "fool-proof", because an
excess of chips are spread on the still wet floor paint. The extra chips
are simply swept up after the floor has dried and can be reused. Taping
off is unnecessary. The chips only adhere to the places where the
flooring resin has been applied. This inherent simplicity is also the
basis for the do-it-yourself product.
Little Preparation
The standard preparation of a floor is necessary when using the Chip Flooring System. The chips cover small cracks and holes, because of the light structure and multi-color effect of the final result. Uneven spots are hardly noticeable.
Cove Base
An integral cove base can be
installed to turn your room into a virtual "bathtub".
Easy to Disinfect
The highest requirements apply, especially to floors with heavy traffic. The Chip Flooring System offers a finish which is very easy to keep disinfected. The seamless and sealed surface can be cleaned in every possible way. Even with a high pressure water spray. The seamless sealed surface prevents the entry of dirt and bacteria. We can even add an optional anti-microbial to your Chip Flooring.
Anti-skid
A floor made of Epoxy.com Flooring Chips is slightly textured and it is this texture that gives the floor good anti-skid qualities. This is especially important for areas where the floor gets wet such as entry ways, and pool sides.
Durable and Reparability
The use of Epoxy.com Product #315 provides a durability which can compete with similar types of decorative floors, with a much higher level of durability and reparability. Should the floor show scuffs after intensive use, this can be quickly solved by applying another layer of the transparent top coat. The floor looks new again after just one application.
Color-Fast
Only the best color-fast pigments are used to produce color chips. Even under exposure to strong ultraviolet light, hardly any fading occurs. Used with Epoxy.com Product #315 or other flooring resin that does not fade, the color chips create a strong, color-fast system.
Endless Choice of Colors and Effects
Epoxy.com Color Chips are supplied in many colors and different sizes. Making the right combination of colors creates extraordinary effects. This means that any requirement can be met. The thickness of the top coat can also be varied, yielding different appearance and anti-skid properties.
