Transforming a 450 Sq. Ft. Garage and Stairs with a 1/4" Granite Flake Epoxy Coating

Elevating Function and Style in Every Square Foot

When it comes to home upgrades, few projects deliver the same visual impact and long-term value as a professionally installed epoxy garage floor. For this 450 square foot garage and stairway, United Floor Coatings transformed a plain concrete surface into a seamless, durable, and visually striking space using a 1/4" Granite flake system.

Homeowners often underestimate how much a quality garage floor can elevate their home’s overall appearance and functionality. Beyond looks, it’s about longevity, protection, and easy maintenance — all key benefits that come with a Granite flake epoxy system.

The Power of the 1/4" Granite Flake System

Our Granite flake blend is one of the most popular choices among homeowners across North Carolina — and for good reason. It delivers a balanced mix of neutral tones that complement any garage, workshop, or stairway design.

Key Benefits of Granite Flake Floors:

• High Durability: Designed to withstand heavy use, vehicle traffic, and dropped tools without chipping or peeling.
• Chemical and Stain Resistance: Protects against oil, salt, and moisture penetration — keeping your garage floor looking new for years.
• Non-Slip Texture: The 1/4" flake size adds both traction and depth, making it ideal for stairs and high-traffic areas.
• Easy Maintenance: Simply sweep or mop to keep it spotless — no waxing or polishing required.
• Lifetime Warranty: Every installation by United Floor Coatings comes with our Lifetime Warranty, ensuring peace of mind and lasting performance.

Expert Installation, Lasting Results

For this project, our team began with a comprehensive surface preparation — diamond grinding the existing concrete to ensure a flawless bond. We then applied an industrial-grade polyaspartic base coat, broadcast the 1/4" Granite flake blend, and sealed the surface with a UV-stable topcoat.

The result? A seamless, glossy finish that enhances both safety and aesthetics. The stair treads were given special attention to maintain uniform texture and slip resistance throughout.

This meticulous process ensures the coating not only looks stunning on day one but continues to perform beautifully for decades — even under the demanding conditions of garage environments.

A Smart Investment for Homeowners

Whether you’re planning to upgrade your home for resale or simply want a cleaner, brighter, and more functional garage, epoxy flooring offers one of the best returns on investment. It protects your concrete, increases curb appeal, and turns your garage into a space you’ll actually enjoy using.
