Why Epoxy Chips Are the Secret Weapon in Warehouse Flooring — And Why We Swear by Them


At VPC Flake, we know warehouses don’t just store products — they drive operations, efficiency, and the very heartbeat of your supply chain. But what most warehouse managers overlook is that your flooring isn’t just background scenery. It’s part of your safety system, your aesthetic identity, and your maintenance budget. That’s where our warehouse epoxy chips come in — and we’re here to tell you why they’ve become the unsung hero of durable, high-performance floors.

What Are Epoxy Chips — And Why Do They Matter?

Our epoxy chip system combines industrial-grade epoxy resin with decorative vinyl flakes — not for looks alone, but for performance. These flakes aren’t just sprinkled for aesthetics; they’re engineered to add texture, traction, and resilience to high-traffic, high-impact floors.

Unlike plain coatings, epoxy chips create a multi-layered system that bonds tightly to the concrete slab. That means less peeling, fewer chips (ironically), and way more longevity. We’ve seen them survive everything from forklift traffic to chemical spills without losing their grip or shine.

Why Warehouses Choose Our Epoxy Chip Systems

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Warehouses have different roles — fulfillment centers, cold storage, manufacturing hubs — and each needs different performance specs. That’s why we custom-formulate every chip floor to meet the needs of the space. Here's what sets our approach apart:

1. Slip Resistance Built In

Our epoxy chip floors are textured for grip — essential for keeping staff safe when oil, moisture, or dust is in the mix. We integrate anti-slip additives and controlled chip dispersal to ensure smooth but safe surfaces.

2. Custom Colors for Zoning

With our chip blends, you can color-code your warehouse zones without clunky paint lines. Need a different tone for loading bays, walkways, or restricted areas? We’ve got hundreds of blends that make visual management easy — and permanent.

3. Heavy Load Endurance

We build our chip systems to handle impact, abrasion, and point loads from shelving, pallets, and machinery. Our clients often tell us they forgot what floor maintenance was until a decade later when it was still going strong.

4. Dust-Proofing and Moisture Resistance

Bare concrete sheds dust and absorbs spills — epoxy chip floors do the opposite. We seal pores, repel contaminants, and eliminate the airborne particulates that clog equipment and compromise hygiene.

5. Fast Installation, Minimal Downtime

We know downtime costs money. Our chip flooring systems cure fast and can be installed in phases. That means your warehouse keeps moving — even during upgrades.

Sustainability with Strength

We also care about the footprint we leave behind. Our epoxy chip floors can be maintained with simple cleaning — no harsh chemicals required. They reduce the need for repeated resurfacing or replacement, helping warehouses reduce waste and resource usage over the long term.

The VPC Flake Difference

What makes us different isn’t just the flakes — it’s how we apply them. From surface prep to topcoat curing, we follow a process that guarantees bonding strength, chemical resistance, and finish longevity. Our clients range from 5,000-square-foot distributors to 100,000-square-foot fulfillment centers — and they keep coming back because we install floors that outlast their expectations.

Let’s Reinvent Your Warehouse Floor

A warehouse is only as strong as the surface it runs on. If your flooring is cracking, dusting, or just outdated, let us show you how our epoxy chips can deliver strength, style, and serious ROI.
