Key takeaways
- Neutral blends hide dirt and age well
- Light flake coverage shows more base color
- Chip size changes the texture and the scale of the pattern
- Look at samples in your own garage light
Start with the room
Think about wall color, cabinets and the cars that will sit on the floor. Grays, blacks and tans blend with almost anything. Bolder blends like coastal or sunset can be great in a showcase garage.
Darker floors show dust and light floors show tire marks, so a mixed blend is often the most forgiving.
Coverage and size
A light broadcast leaves more base color showing. A full broadcast covers it completely for a dense, terrazzo-like look. Small chips give a fine speckle, and larger chips make a bolder pattern.
Chip size also affects grip and cleaning, so it is worth feeling samples.
Test before you commit
Colors look different under daylight and LED lights. Ask for a sample board and look at it in your garage at different times of day.

Quick answers
Do flakes affect traction?
Slightly. The topcoat sets the final texture, and we can add grip where you want it.
Can I change colors later?
Not easily. A flake floor is a long-term choice, so choose a blend you like in the light of your garage.
