Floors have a special role to play in interior design. The heavy
technical demands made on floors often make the use of
certain
decorative products simply impossible. The use of color chips can
change all that! Color chips are increasingly being used in
combination with "wet" products such as Product #315 Seamless Polymeric Multi-Colored Flake Chip Floor
Resurfacing System to create decorative floors with more to
offer than other ornamental products...Quality! Due to their easy
application, these products can be used by both professionals and
skilled 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. Flooring experts have
been using this process for a long time. Epoxy
Systems, Inc., which is responsible for the quality of the floor
resin, has not stood still over the years. It has developed various
new types of resins like Product #315 Chip
Flooring Resin .
It even has developed a water-based resin system for walls. These
resins are 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 new.
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:

printer will change these colors. This chart is to give you an idea
of the colors available and not intended for critical color
selections.
Then pick 2 or more accent or contrasting colors from the chart
below, or the chart above:

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.
