When choosing an epoxy or polyaspartic floor coating for your garage, patio, or commercial space, one of the most exciting decisions you'll make is selecting a flake color and design. These flakes, also called color chips or paint chips, are more than just decorative—they add texture, hide imperfections, and increase slip resistance.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings, we offer a wide range of flake color and design options to suit every style and space. Whether you want a bold, high-contrast look or a sleek, neutral finish, we’ve got you covered.

Why Flake Systems Are Popular in DFW

Flake systems are ideal for:

• Garages that double as workspaces or showrooms
• Patios where aesthetics and slip-resistance matter
• Commercial properties that need a polished, professional appearance
• Driveways and walkways that face heavy traffic and extreme weather

Flakes provide a modern, durable surface that withstands heat, stains, chemicals, and UV rays—all crucial for DFW’s climate.

1. Most Popular Flake Colors

Here are some customer favorites that work beautifully across residential and commercial settings:

Domino (Black, White, Gray)

2. Custom Blends for Unique Finishes

At DFW Flake & Epoxy, we can also create custom flake blends that reflect:

• Your brand colors
• Home décor
• Sports team themes
• Matching cabinet, paint, or stone accents

This level of personalization makes your floor not just functional—but a true design feature.

3. Flake Size Options

Flakes come in different sizes, typically:

• 1/16” – for a subtle, granite-like texture
• 1/8” – most common size, great balance of texture and visual appeal
• 1/4” – bolder look, excellent for hiding floor imperfections

Smaller flakes create a smoother surface, while larger flakes offer more texture and color contrast. We'll help you choose the right size based on your goals.

4. Gloss Levels & Topcoat Finishes

Your flake color is only one part of the final look. We also offer:

• Gloss finishes for a sleek, showroom effect
• Satin finishes for reduced glare and easier maintenance
• Slip-resistant additives for garages, pools, or outdoor areas

The topcoat you choose enhances your flake color and extends the floor's life.

5. How to Choose the Right Flake Color

Here are a few questions to guide your decision:

• Do you want your floor to blend in or stand out?
• Are you matching your exterior or creating contrast?
• Will the area be exposed to dirt, oil, or debris?
• Is the space residential or commercial?

Our team walks every client through this decision to ensure the perfect match.
