When an “Epoxy Chip” floor is desired there are multiple methods to apply product.
Some of the design factors to consider before application is color of pigment in the epoxy and chip color.
Technique 1: (1-2 person team)
Roll or squeegee the epoxy across the width of the job and approximately 5’ deep. Then broadcast the epoxy chips onto the wet epoxy approximately 4’deep. This will allow you to roll the next section of epoxy into the first area without picking up chips on your roller cover. Continue to repeat this process until complete coverage is obtained
Technique 2: (3-5 person team)
Coat the entire surface to be treated with the desired color of epoxy. Wearing epoxy spikes or golf spikes, walk carefully onto the floor and broadcast the entire surface with epoxy chips.
Final Coat:
After the epoxy has become tack free (typically 6-10 hours) a coat of clear Inside Epoxy should be applied to the top surface in order to protect the epoxy chips. If additional protection is desired, a top coat of Inside Urethane may be applied over the Inside Epoxy (allow 12 hours of cure time and mechanically abrade the Inside Epoxy prior to the Inside Urethane application).
Tips
Spikes:
Wearing spikes (epoxy spikes or golf shoes) will allow you to walk out over the epoxy to broadcast chips or fix any issues. ***WARNING*** Walking on wet epoxy with spikes is like walking on ice. Move slowly and carefully.
Broadcasting Chips:
Prior to your first job practice broadcasting chips onto “dry” concrete to test your technique. It is best to throw a small handful of chips up into the air and let them scatter as they fall down. This technique helps to avoid “clumps” of chips on the floor.

A:The amount of flake required depends on your desired finish and density. We generally categorize coverage rates based on the following industry standards:
- Full Broadcast (100% Coverage): For a "rejection" system where the base coat is completely hidden and the surface is fully packed, plan for 0.10 to 0.20 lbs per square foot (approximately 5–10 square feet per pound).
- Medium Coverage (50–75%): For a balanced appearance where some of the base color remains visible, plan for approximately 0.08 lbs per square foot.
- Light/Sparse Coverage (10–50%): For minimal accent patterns, plan for 0.02 to 0.04 lbs per square foot.
Pro-Tips for Estimators:
- Order a Buffer: We always recommend ordering 10–15% additional material to account for waste, edge cutting, and varying application techniques.
- Consider Flake Size: While 1/4" flakes are the industry standard for most garage floor projects, your final coverage may vary slightly depending on the specific flake size and texture.
- Performance Benefits: A full broadcast system not only offers the most uniform look but also creates a more durable, non-slip surface that is highly effective at masking imperfections in the underlying concrete.
