United Floor Coatings • August 7, 2025

A Durable and Stylish Flooring Solution for Enhancing Your Home’s Curb Appeal

When it comes to protecting and enhancing the appearance of your home's exterior, the carport is often an overlooked area. However, this functional space can benefit greatly from a professional-grade floor coating. One of the most popular and effective solutions for carport flooring is a 1/4” Granite flake epoxy system, known for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting performance.


In this article, we’ll explore how coating a single car carport with our signature 1/4” Granite flake blend can elevate both the style and functionality of your home.


Why Upgrade Your Carport Floor?

A bare concrete carport might seem sufficient at first, but over time it’s prone to:

  • Cracking and chipping from vehicle weight and temperature fluctuations
  • Oil stains and chemical damage from leaks and spills
  • Dust buildup and difficult maintenance


By choosing a premium epoxy flake system, homeowners can combat these issues with a surface that’s not only strong and resilient but also easy to maintain and visually appealing.


What Makes Our 1/4” Granite Flake Blend Stand Out?

Our signature 1/4” Granite flake system is a multi-layered floor coating process that includes:

  • Surface preparation using industrial diamond grinding to ensure proper adhesion
  • Base coat application for a strong foundation
  • Full broadcast of 1/4” Granite flake to provide texture, depth, and slip resistance
  • High-gloss polyaspartic topcoat that resists UV rays, abrasions, chemicals, and moisture

The result is a sleek, stone-like finish that complements a variety of architectural styles, from modern to traditional.

Benefits of Granite Flake Coating for Carports


Here are the top advantages of installing a Granite flake epoxy system in your carport:

✅ Weather Resistance: Unlike bare concrete, our coatings won’t crack or erode under harsh conditions.

✅ UV Stability: The polyaspartic topcoat protects against yellowing and fading from sun exposure.

✅ Slip Resistance: The flake texture enhances safety by reducing slipperiness.

✅ Low Maintenance: Simply rinse or mop the surface for easy cleanup.

✅ Curb Appeal Boost: Instantly gives your property a cleaner, more upscale look.


Ideal for Homeowners and Real Estate Professionals

If you’re looking to increase property value or make a lasting first impression during a home showing, investing in a coated carport floor is a smart move. Real estate professionals know that even small upgrades to exterior surfaces can improve buyer perception and marketability.
