The Homeowner’s Checklist: Choosing the Best Garage Floor Coating

Michigan homeowners know that a garage floor takes a beating. Between snowy winters, road salt, and fluctuating temperatures, a bare concrete surface or a low-quality coating just won’t cut it. If you’re considering an upgrade, here’s what to look for in a garage floor coating—and why Garage Floor Coating of Michigan’s full flake system is the clear winner.

A Garage Floor Coating That Bonds to Concrete

A garage floor coating is only as good as its adhesion. Without a proper bond, coatings peel, bubble, and wear down too soon.

• Epoxy base coat for deep penetration – Unlike 1-day polyaspartic coatings that sit on the surface, epoxy absorbs into the concrete, creating a rock-solid bond.
• No peeling, no lifting – A proper bond prevents hydrostatic pressure—moisture from below—from pushing the coating off the floor.
• A floor that lasts – The stronger the bond, the longer your garage floor coating stays intact.

Thickness and Durability That Stands Up to Michigan Winters

Thin coatings fail fast, especially in cold climates where road salt, moisture, and temperature swings test the strength of any surface.

• Full Flake system adds durability – Decorative flakes are fully embedded into the epoxy base coat, increasing thickness and durability.
• Polyaspartic topcoats for protection – The final layers seal the floor against moisture, road salt, and everyday wear.
• No cracking, no staining – A full flake garage floor coating prevents concrete deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles.

A Garage Floor That Looks Incredible

A garage doesn’t have to be dull and industrial-looking. A full flake garage floor coating transforms the space into something polished and high-end.

• Mica-infused flake blends – Natural mineral flakes add depth, texture, added reflectivity and a showroom-quality finish.
• Flawless, uniform coverage – Flakes are evenly distributed and buffed smooth before the topcoat, avoiding the rough, patchy look of 1-day coatings.
• Customization options to match your home – Choose from a variety of colors and styles to create a floor that stands out.

A Coating That’s Easy to Maintain

A garage floor should work for you, not against you. With a Full Flake system, maintenance is effortless.

• Resistant to oil, stains, and tire marks – Spills wipe away easily without leaving permanent damage.
• No more dust or concrete wear – A properly sealed garage floor keeps dust and debris from collecting.
• Long-lasting beauty with minimal upkeep – The UV-resistant topcoat ensures your floor won’t fade or yellow over time.
