How a Premium Epoxy System Turned a Large Garage into a Durable, Showroom-Quality Space

When it comes to garage flooring, homeowners often underestimate the impact of a professionally installed epoxy system. For this 1,700-square-foot garage, our team at United Floor Coatings delivered a complete transformation using a 1/4" Tuxedo flake system—a timeless, high-contrast blend of black, white, and gray flakes that elevates both style and performance.


This project demonstrates how the right flooring solution can completely change the look, feel, and function of a large garage.


The Challenge: Durability Meets Design

Large garages present unique challenges. Between heavy vehicles, foot traffic, and constant exposure to oil, salt, and moisture, ordinary concrete simply doesn’t hold up. Cracks, stains, and dust accumulation quickly make the space look worn down and difficult to maintain.


The homeowner wanted a modern, polished finish that could handle daily use without losing its visual appeal—a floor that looked as good as it performed.


The Solution: A 1/4" Tuxedo Flake Epoxy System

Our team began by grinding and preparing the concrete surface, removing imperfections and ensuring proper adhesion for the epoxy coating. Next, we applied a high-build base coat, followed by a full broadcast of 1/4" Tuxedo flakes—a versatile color blend that complements nearly any garage aesthetic, from classic to contemporary.


After curing, the surface was sealed with a durable polyaspartic topcoat, giving the floor a glossy, seamless finish that resists chemicals, abrasions, and UV damage.


Key benefits of the Tuxedo flake system include:

  • Exceptional durability: Withstands vehicle weight, tools, and impact.
  • Low maintenance: Easy to clean and resistant to stains and dust.
  • Slip resistance: Textured surface adds grip for safer footing.
  • Timeless style: Neutral tones provide a professional, high-end appearance.


The Result: A Garage That Feels Like a Showroom

The finished space looks sleek, bright, and inviting. The reflective surface enhances natural light, making the garage feel larger and cleaner. With a seamless and protective coating, the floor will continue to look great for years with minimal upkeep.


This transformation shows how epoxy flooring isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about longevity, functionality, and added property value. For homeowners with larger garages, investing in a professional floor coating can turn a basic utility space into an extension of your home.
