A stunning 1/4” Tuxedo Flake finish with two-layer protection for lasting performance

When it comes to home upgrades that add both style and functionality, garage floor coatings are one of the best investments a homeowner can make. Recently, an 800-square-foot garage was transformed into a showroom-quality space with a 1/4” tuxedo flake epoxy coating and a two-layer topcoat system. The result is not only visually striking but also engineered to stand up to years of heavy use.


Why Upgrade Your Garage Floor?

For most homeowners, the garage is more than just a place to park cars—it doubles as a workshop, storage space, or even a home gym. Unfortunately, bare concrete can easily become stained, cracked, or damaged over time. That’s where epoxy and polyaspartic coatings come in.

Benefits include:

  • Durability: With two layers of protective topcoat, this installation resists abrasions, chemicals, and impact damage.
  • Low Maintenance: The non-porous surface makes cleaning oil, dirt, or spills effortless.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The tuxedo flake pattern gives the garage a professional, high-end look.
  • Longevity: Properly installed coatings can last decades, making them a cost-effective improvement.


The 1/4” Tuxedo Flake Finish

One of the standout features of this project is the 1/4” tuxedo flake design. Blending shades of black, white, and gray, it creates a versatile look that complements any home style—from modern to traditional. Larger flakes add depth and texture while helping to hide dirt and imperfections.

This finish doesn’t just look good—it also contributes to safety by adding a subtle, slip-resistant texture. That means the garage floor remains functional whether it’s used for parking, projects, or play.


Double Protection with Two-Layer Topcoat

What sets this installation apart is the use of a two-layer polyaspartic topcoat. While a single coat provides excellent protection, a double application adds even more strength and durability.

  • Layer One: Seals in the flakes and creates a uniform surface.
  • Layer Two: Acts as a shield against UV rays, stains, and scratches.


Together, these layers ensure that the garage floor maintains its glossy, polished finish for years to come, even under heavy foot and vehicle traffic.


Why Choose Professional Installation?

While DIY kits may seem tempting, they often fall short in durability and appearance. Professional installers prepare the concrete surface with diamond grinding or shot blasting, ensuring proper adhesion. This step is crucial for preventing delamination and extending the lifespan of the floor.

By working with experts, homeowners benefit from:

  • High-quality materials
  • Skilled application techniques
  • Manufacturer-backed warranties
  • Fast turnaround times
