Chip Sizes
The same color can look completely different depending on chip size. Here’s how 1/4", 1/8", and 1/16" compare — in look, feel, and price.
On a flake floor, the “chip” is the colored vinyl fleck broadcast into the coating. We install three chip sizes, and the choice is about look and texture — not durability (all three use the same tough flake-and-polyaspartic system). A bigger chip gives a bold, high-contrast, unmistakably “flake” look; a smaller chip reads finer and more uniform, closer to natural stone. Here’s how each one compares.
Bold, high-contrast texture — the classic garage-floor flake look.
Our standard and most-requested size. The large chips read clearly across the floor, hide dirt and wear beautifully, and deliver that unmistakable premium flake-floor look. Included at our base price.
A finer, more refined blend — softer texture, still plenty of depth.
A more subtle, refined finish that reads smoother underfoot and blends colors more tightly. A popular upgrade for basements, living spaces, and showrooms. About a 10% increase over the standard quarter-inch.
The finest, most uniform look — almost a solid, speckled stone.
The finest chip we install — nearly a solid, natural-stone appearance with the durability of a full flake system. The premium, designer-grade option. About a 22% increase over the standard quarter-inch.
Mix & match
Any of our flake colors can be installed in any of the three chip sizes — so you can get exactly the color and texture you want.
The 1/4" chip is our standard and most-requested size — it delivers the classic, bold flake-floor look and is included at our base price. The 1/8" and 1/16" sizes are refined upgrades.
Yes, a little. The 1/4" chip is the baseline. The finer 1/8" chip is about a 10% increase, and the finest 1/16" chip is about a 22% increase, because smaller chips take more material and labor to build the same rich, full coverage.
No — all three sizes use the same tough flake-and-polyaspartic system and are equally durable. The difference is purely the look and texture: larger chips read bolder, smaller chips look finer and more uniform.
Yes. Every flake color we offer is available in all three chip sizes, so you can dial in exactly the look you want.
