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:

note:
The pictures of color charts on this page and else ware on this
web page are photographic reproduction of the color card for our
products. The photo reproduction process and your monitor and/or
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.
