Protect and Brighten Your Garage with a UV-Stable, Easy-to-Clean Flake Floor System

A garage is no longer just a place to park your car—it’s an extension of your home and lifestyle. For homeowners with a two-car tandem garage, maximizing space, durability, and visual appeal is key. One of the most effective and stylish upgrades you can make is installing a ¼” Tuxedo flake epoxy or polyaspartic floor coating. This modern solution not only improves the appearance of your garage but also adds long-term functionality and value to your home.


In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of the Tuxedo flake system, why it’s ideal for tandem garages, and how this durable coating turns a basic space into a clean, high-performance environment.


What Is a Two-Car Tandem Garage?

A tandem garage is a layout where two vehicles are parked front-to-back instead of side-by-side. These garages often offer extended depth but can feel narrow and dark if not finished properly. A high-quality floor coating with reflective, light-toned flake blends—like the ¼” Tuxedo flake—can visually open up the space and add a polished, finished feel.


Why Choose a ¼” Tuxedo Flake Floor Coating?

The Tuxedo flake blend consists of a classic mix of black, white, and gray vinyl flakes, offering a granite-inspired look that pairs well with nearly any home design. The ¼” size provides the perfect amount of texture without overwhelming the space.


Key Benefits:


Sleek, Professional Appearance
The Tuxedo flake gives your garage a clean, high-end look that hides dirt and imperfections.

Slip-Resistant Surface
Textured flakes combined with a non-slip additive enhance traction—ideal for wet conditions or busy home garages.

Long-Lasting Durability
With proper prep and a polyaspartic or epoxy topcoat, your floor resists tire marks, stains, chemicals, and abrasions.

UV Stability & Easy Maintenance
UV-stable topcoats prevent yellowing, and the seamless surface is a breeze to clean—just sweep or rinse.

One-Day Installation
Professional crews can typically install the coating in one day, meaning minimal disruption to your routine.


Perfect for More Than Just Parking

With a tandem layout, your garage may serve multiple purposes—parking, storage, a home gym, or even a workshop. The ¼” Tuxedo flake coating is versatile enough to meet all these needs while maintaining a sleek, unified look. It's especially helpful for making long, narrow garages feel brighter and more open.
