From Failing Floors to Full Flake: The Garage Floor Coating Upgrade for Your Home

A garage should be more than just a parking space—it should be durable, clean, and built to last. But in Akron, Cleveland, and the surrounding Ohio region, garage floors face a beating from road salt, seasonal moisture, and heavy vehicle traffic. If your concrete is cracked, stained, or coated with a thin, peeling finish, it’s time for an upgrade. Forte Garage Floor Coating installs full flake hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic garage floor coating systems that provide long-term protection, unbeatable durability, and a stunning finish.

Before Full Flake: The Garage Floor Problems You Know Too Well

If your garage floor is showing signs of wear, you’re not alone. Common issues include:

• Moisture problems – Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles cause water within the concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks, peeling, and weak coating delamination over time.
• Hot tire transfer – Poor quality coatings are prone to hot-tire staining (aka plasticizer migration), where heat from tires softens the surface and allows tire plasticizers to leave unsightly marks that won’t come off.
• Dusty, rough concrete – Bare floors constantly shed dust, making garages feel dirty and unfinished.
• Limited durability – Basic coatings and DIY kits are too thin to withstand daily use and heavy vehicles.

The Full Flake Transformation: Thick, Durable, and Built to Last

A full flake garage floor coating completely changes the look and performance of your garage. Our 2-day installation process creates a tougher, better-bonded surface that won’t fail under pressure.

• Epoxy base coat for superior adhesion – “1-day” polyurea systems use a polyurea direct-to-concrete. Quick cure polyureas simply cure too quickly to deeply penetrate and bond with the concrete slab. And they only go down thinly. Conversely, our slower-curing, high-build epoxy base coat deeply penetrates the concrete, forming an unbreakable foundation. It acts as a moisture vapor barrier.
• Full flake coverage for thickness and strength – A layer of flakes, “broadcast to rejection”, ensures added thickness and strength. Because of the thick epoxy primer coat, our flakes get fully embedded.
• Polyaspartic topcoats for long-term performance – We apply dual polyaspartic clear coats (not just one!). These layers seal in durability, offering stain resistance, UV protection, and a high-end finish. And with  our high-quality, densely cross-linked polyaspartic, you don’t have to worry about hot-tire transfer.
• Buffed smooth for a seamless look – Unlike 1-day coatings, where flakes are left rough and uneven, GFC’s process creates a polished, professional-grade floor.

After Full Flake: The Ultimate Garage Floor Coating

A full flake garage floor coating isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation.
