Transforming an Oversized Two-Car Garage with Stem Walls

United Floor Coatings • September 18, 2025

A Custom Flake Blend That Redefines Strength and Style

When it comes to upgrading your garage, flooring is one of the most important investments you can make. For this oversized two-car garage with stem walls, a custom flake blend coating was the perfect solution—offering both durability and design appeal. More than just a cosmetic upgrade, the right garage floor coating protects concrete from wear and tear while adding value to your home.


Why Stem Walls Matter in Garage Flooring

Stem walls serve as a crucial barrier between the ground and the garage floor. By elevating the slab above grade, they:

  • Prevent water intrusion during heavy rain or flooding.
  • Add stability to the structure by distributing weight evenly.
  • Allow seamless floor-to-wall transitions for a more polished look.


In this project, the oversized garage’s stem walls were coated along with the main slab, creating a fully encapsulated surface that looks clean and professional while remaining easy to maintain.


Benefits of a Custom Flake Blend

Unlike plain gray concrete or DIY paint kits, a custom flake blend offers both performance and visual appeal. Homeowners increasingly choose this type of finish for several reasons:

  • Unique Design Options – With countless color blends, flakes can be customized to complement your home’s style, whether you prefer neutral tones or bold contrasts.
  • Slip Resistance – Flakes add texture to the floor, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
  • Durability – Combined with polyurea or epoxy base layers, flake floors resist abrasions, chemicals, and heavy impacts.
  • Low Maintenance – Spills wipe up easily, and dust is less visible compared to plain concrete.


For this oversized garage, the custom flake blend transformed a standard concrete slab into a showroom-quality space that will last for years to come.


Perfect for Oversized Garages

Bigger garages demand tougher coatings. An oversized two-car garage not only houses vehicles but often doubles as a workshop, storage space, or even a home gym. With heavy use, plain concrete can quickly crack, stain, or deteriorate.

By applying a high-performance coating with a custom flake blend:

  • The floor withstands constant traffic from cars, tools, and equipment.
  • The bright, clean finish improves lighting, making the garage more functional.
  • The coated stem walls provide a seamless transition, protecting edges where damage often starts.


Why Homeowners and Real Estate Professionals Choose Professional Installation

While DIY kits are tempting, professional floor coating installation ensures:

  • Proper surface preparation for long-lasting adhesion.
  • High-quality materials designed to withstand North Carolina’s varying climate.
  • Warranty-backed results that increase home value and buyer appeal.


For real estate professionals, showcasing a garage with a premium flake blend coating can set a listing apart, instantly boosting curb appeal and marketability.

An oversized two-car garage with stem walls deserves a finish that’s as strong as it is stylish. A custom flake blend floor coating delivers unmatched durability, easy maintenance, and timeless design.
