Polyaspartic chip floors, which are also sometimes called “epoxy chip floors” provide the perfect flooring solution for areas where functionality is key and an attractive surface is also desired.

The “chips” refer to the colorful flakes that a contractor sprinkles onto the coating while it’s still wet, adding a granite-like look to the floor. Once the surface is sealed with a clear topcoat, the chips are locked in place, creating a stylish surface.

Benefits

Polyaspartic floors have many benefits. Here are some of the qualities property owners like about them:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Decorative flakes create a textured, granite-like look which hides dirt and imperfections.
• Durable: Great for high-traffic areas that get a lot of foot traffic and need to be able to handle the weight of cars and other machinery.
• Easy to Maintain: Because polyaspartic is a non-porous and seamless coating, you can easily wipe up spills. This quality prevents water damage, staining, and issues from contaminants such as oil, chemicals, and hot tires.
• UV Stable: Polyaspartic coatings don’t fade in sunlight, unlike epoxy.

FAQ About Polyaspartic Chip Floors

Get answers to some of the most common questions about polyaspartic chip floors.

How long do polyaspartic chip floors last?

When they’re installed and cared for properly, polyaspartic chip floors can stay looking great for a couple decades, even when used frequently.

How long does installation take?

Customers love the quick turnaround of polyaspartic coatings. They cure a lot faster than epoxy and can often be used the day after installation. Turnaround times vary depending on factors such as size of the space and prep work required.

Do polyaspartic coatings fade or turn yellowish in sunlight?

Polyaspartic is UV-stable, so it keeps its color and doesn’t fade, even when used outdoors.

Are polyaspartic coatings slippery when they get wet?

In addition to adding beauty, the decorative chips add texture which helps create a slip-resistant surface. Ask us about adding a non-slip additive to the topcoat for an additional layer of safety.

How do you clean and maintain polyaspartic chip coatings?

Sweep up or blow off debris regularly and mop or hose off to remove grime or debris when needed. Even though they resist staining, it’s important to still wipe up spills as soon as you see them to keep the surface looking its best.

What color options are available?

There are many colors of chips available, and you can mix colors to create custom blends. With the wide range of color options, you can get a natural look or opt for something bold.

Can you add a polyaspartic coating over old or damaged concrete?

Yes. As long as a concrete surface is viable, it can be prepped and then resurfaced with a polyaspartic coating, making the surface appear brand new.

Can they be used in basements or other locations with moisture?

Yes. In fact, polyaspartic coatings are ideal for basements because of their moisture-resistant quality. Laundry rooms, utility rooms, and other similar spaces are also good candidates for polyaspartic coatings.
