What are chipped stone flakes for epoxy flooring?

Chipped stone flakes are decorative vinyl paint chips designed to be broadcast into epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurea, or urethane floor coatings to create a natural stone or marble-like appearance. They enhance the look of the floor while adding texture and depth.

Are chipped stone flakes real stone?

No. Although they look like natural stone, chipped stone flakes are manufactured vinyl flakes specifically designed for resinous flooring systems.

How are chipped stone flakes applied?

They are broadcast into a freshly applied base coat while it is still tacky. After curing, excess flakes are removed and the floor is sealed with one or more clear topcoats.

How much chipped stone flake coverage do I need?

Coverage depends on the desired appearance:

• Partial broadcast: about 60–250 sq ft per lb for ¼” flakes

• Full broadcast to refusal: roughly 5–7 sq ft per lb for ¼” flakes

More flakes mean less visible basecoat and a heavier decorative finish.

What sizes are available for chipped stone flakes?

Standard size is 1/4″, with additional options available:

• 1/16″

• 1/8″

• 1/2″

• 1″

These sizes allow you to customize the final texture and look of the floor.

How many colors or blends are available?

Chipped stone flakes come in multiple pre-mixed color blends designed to replicate natural stone and marble finishes. If you are looking for something unique, consider creating a custom blend at no additional cost on our Custom Blend page.

What types of coatings can these flakes be used with?

They are compatible with:

• Epoxy coatings

• Polyaspartic coatings

• Polyurea coatings

• Urethane coatings

Do chipped stone flakes help hide imperfections in concrete?

Yes. Decorative flakes help conceal minor concrete discoloration, patches, and surface imperfections, creating a more uniform finished appearance.

Are chipped stone flakes UV stable?

Yes. They are made with colorfast pigments designed to resist fading and maintain their appearance over time. For additional UV protection, consider our Outdoor UV Stable Flakes.

Where can chipped stone flake flooring be installed?

They are commonly used in:

• Garage floors

• Basements

• Commercial kitchens

• Retail stores

• Hospitals and labs

• Offices and hallways

• Restaurants and showrooms

How are chipped stone flakes packaged and sold?

They are typically sold in 10-lb boxes, and the amount needed depends on the broadcast density and project size. For assistance in quantity recommendations, hop on our text chat or reach out at 630-675-4509.

Can chipped stone flakes be returned?

Because flake blends are custom-made to order, they are generally not eligible for return, so ordering a sample first is recommended if you are unsure. Check out our Sample Page for flake samples.

Are stone flakes better than standard epoxy color chips?

Chipped stone flakes and standard epoxy color chips serve different design purposes. Stone flakes are engineered to create a more natural, marble- or terrazzo-style appearance with layered visual depth, while standard color chips typically produce a more uniform decorative speckled finish. Stone flakes are often chosen for premium residential or commercial floors where a natural stone look is desired. For another stone-like flake option, consider Terrazzo Stone Vinyl Flakes.

What base coat color works best with stone flakes?

The best base coat color depends on the flake blend selected. In most installations, contractors choose a base color that closely matches the dominant tone in the flake blend to ensure even coverage and minimize visibility if the broadcast is not completely full. For full-broadcast systems, the base color is less critical but should still complement the blend.

Do decorative flakes make floors less slippery?

Yes. Decorative flakes can improve floor traction by adding surface texture once encapsulated in a clear topcoat. For additional slip resistance, installers often combine flakes with an anti-slip additive in the final clear coat, especially in garages, commercial kitchens, or wet environments. Check out our Anti-Slip Additives page for all options for your floor project.

How thick should the clear topcoat be over flakes?

After broadcasting and removing excess flakes, the surface is typically sealed with one or more clear coats of epoxy, polyaspartic, or urethane. Most systems use enough material to fully encapsulate the flakes and create a smooth, sealed surface. Contractors commonly apply multiple coats depending on the performance requirements and gloss level desired.

Can chipped stone flakes be used outdoors?

Yes, chipped stone flakes can be used in outdoor coating systems when paired with UV-stable binders such as polyaspartic or UV-resistant urethane topcoats. Selecting a UV-stable coating system helps maintain color and long-term appearance in exterior environments like patios, walkways, and pool decks.
