Transforming a 600 Sq. Ft. Garage with 1/8" Medium Tan Flake Flooring

United Floor Coatings • September 30, 2025

Before and After: From Bare Concrete to a Durable, Professional Finish with a 10-Year Warranty

When it comes to upgrading your garage, flooring often makes the biggest difference. This recent 600 square foot garage project is the perfect example of how professional epoxy flake coatings can completely transform a space. What started as a dull, stained concrete floor is now a bright, polished surface featuring a 1/8" medium tan flake system built to last—and backed by a 10-year warranty.


Why Upgrade Your Garage Floor?

Bare concrete is prone to cracks, stains, and dust. Over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain, and even a good cleaning won’t restore its original appearance. Homeowners are choosing epoxy and polyaspartic coatings because they deliver:

  • Durability: Resistant to chemicals, oils, and abrasions.
  • Low Maintenance: Easy to clean with just a broom or mop.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: A professional, showroom-quality look.
  • Value Addition: Increases resale appeal and functionality.


This particular garage demonstrates how a well-installed floor coating adds both beauty and practicality.


Project Spotlight: 600 Sq. Ft. Garage Transformation

The “before” condition (shown in the bottom right photo) featured worn concrete with visible marks and discoloration. Our team prepared the surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion and a flawless finish. Once the prep work was complete, we applied the 1/8" medium tan flake system, chosen for its neutral tone and ability to brighten the entire garage.


The result? A seamless floor that is not only visually appealing but also engineered to withstand heavy use for years to come.


Key Project Details:

  • Size: 600 sq. ft. garage
  • Flake Blend: 1/8" medium tan flake
  • Warranty: 10 years against peeling, delamination, or premature wear
  • Finish: Smooth, durable, and non-porous


The Benefits of a 1/8" Medium Tan Flake Finish

Homeowners often ask about flake size and color when choosing a garage floor coating. A 1/8" flake provides a clean, consistent pattern that balances texture with refinement. The medium tan blend is especially versatile, pairing well with light walls, cabinets, and vehicles, while also hiding dirt and debris between cleanings.


This system not only enhances the look of the space but also makes it safer. The added texture reduces slipperiness, while the sealed surface prevents moisture from seeping into the concrete.


Long-Term Value with a 10-Year Warranty

One of the biggest advantages of this installation is the peace of mind it brings. Backed by a 10-year warranty, this garage floor is protected against common coating failures like peeling or delamination. That means homeowners can enjoy a beautiful garage without worrying about costly repairs down the road.


Conclusion: From Concrete to a Clean, Polished Finish

This 600 square foot garage is a clear example of how much of a difference professional coatings can make. The 1/8" medium tan flake system brought life, durability, and long-term protection to what was once a plain, stained concrete floor.
