Beyond the Basics: Full Flake, Partial Flake, and Metallic Garage Floor Coatings Explained

If your garage floor is just bare concrete, you’re not getting the style, protection, or performance you could. A professional garage floor coating does more than make your space look clean. It adds durability, moisture mitigation, and serious visual appeal.

At Garage Floor Coating of New York, we offer three popular systems that each deliver different benefits and aesthetics: partial flake, full flake, and metallic. Here’s how to choose the one that fits your space and your style.

Solid Epoxy Flooring: Sleek, Seamless, and Sophisticated

Partial flake garage floor coatings begin with a solid color epoxy base coat, followed by a light broadcast of decorative flakes, then sealed with a polyaspartic topcoat. This system provides a more minimalist finish. Think clean, smooth, and lightly textured.

This is a great option for homeowners who prefer a subtle, modern look. The surface still adds slip resistance and hides small imperfections, but without overwhelming visual texture. If you want your garage to feel bright, open, and easy to maintain, a partial flake system is a great fit.

Full Flake Systems: Texture, Durability, and Visual Impact

For a more dynamic look with added toughness, our full flake system is a top performer. In this process, flakes are broadcast to full coverage, fully embedding into the thick moisture-mitigating epoxy base before the topcoat is applied. The result is a multi-tonal, granite-like finish that’s rich in texture and built to handle heavy use.

This is our most popular system for homeowners who use their garages for everything from car care to home gyms. Full flake coatings are especially useful in Upstate New York where snow, salt, and moisture are part of daily life. These floors are easy to clean, tough on wear, and built to last through the seasons.

Metallic Floor Coatings: High-End Look, One-of-a-Kind Finish

Want a (non-garage) concrete space to stand out? Our metallic systems use special pigments suspended in epoxy to create swirling, marble-like effects. These floors are glossy, dramatic, and completely unique. No two installations ever look the same.

Metallic floor coatings are ideal for homeowners who want to make a statement. Whether it’s a basement, hallway, showroom, or any creative space, this system delivers on style and strength.

Which Garage Floor Coating Is Right for You?

Our garage flooring systems are installed using a professional 2-day process that includes a thick, moisture mitigating epoxy base coat, full flake broadcast, and 100%-solids, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats. Whether you want clean and simple or bold and textured, Garage Floor Coating of New York can help you choose the right system for your home.
