How a Durable, Low-Maintenance Coating Adds Beauty and Value to Any Home

A Garage That Works as Hard as You Do

For many homeowners, the garage is more than just a parking space—it’s a workspace, storage area, and a reflection of the home’s overall design. Yet, concrete garage floors often suffer from cracks, stains, and wear that make the space look tired and uninviting. That’s where epoxy floor coatings with a 1/4" granite flake finish come in, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

At United Floor Coatings, we recently transformed a three-car garage using a 1/4" granite flake blend—a timeless choice known for its neutral tones and natural stone appearance. The result? A high-performance floor that looks as good as it performs.


Why Choose a 1/4" Granite Flake Finish

The granite flake system is one of the most versatile and durable garage flooring options available today. Here’s why it’s a favorite among homeowners and real estate professionals:

  • Classic, sophisticated appearance: The mix of grays, whites, and blacks mimics real granite, complementing nearly any style of home or garage.
  • Slip-resistant texture: The 1/4" flakes not only enhance visual depth but also improve traction—ideal for garages exposed to water or oil.
  • UV and chemical resistance: Unlike standard paints or DIY kits, our professional epoxy and polyaspartic coatings withstand UV rays, road salts, and vehicle fluids without yellowing or peeling.
  • Low maintenance: A quick sweep and occasional mop are all it takes to keep the surface looking new year-round.


Professional Installation for Long-Lasting Results

At United Floor Coatings, every project begins with proper surface preparation—the key to a long-lasting bond. We mechanically grind the concrete to remove impurities and open the pores, ensuring the epoxy primer penetrates deeply. Once the base coat is applied, 1/4" granite flakes are broadcast evenly to full coverage before sealing everything under a durable polyaspartic topcoat.


This multi-layer process delivers:

  • A seamless, non-porous surface resistant to moisture and impact.
  • A finish that cures quickly—often within 24 hours for a fast return to use.
  • A floor that comes backed by a lifetime warranty, offering homeowners peace of mind.


A Smart Investment in Home Value

Upgrading to an epoxy garage floor isn’t just about looks—it’s a strategic improvement that adds tangible value to your property. Homebuyers appreciate clean, organized, and durable garage spaces. A granite flake epoxy finish can set your home apart, helping it stand out in today’s competitive real estate market.
