Shopping for a coated garage floor gets confusing fast, because three very different systems all get called “epoxy.” Flake, metallic, and polyaspartic each solve a different problem. Here is how to tell them apart before you spend a dollar in Allen.
A daily-driver garage off Bethany Drive has different needs than a showroom or a hobby space. If the floor takes hot tires, oil, and dropped tools, you want durability and slip resistance over pure looks. If it is a display space, appearance leads. Naming the job first makes the rest of the choices obvious.
A flake (or chip) system broadcasts vinyl color flakes into a pigmented epoxy base, then seals them under a clear coat. It is the most popular choice for good reason. The flakes hide minor cracks and patches, add grip underfoot, and clean up easily. For most Allen garages, our garage floor epoxy flake build is the right balance of cost, toughness, and looks. Expect roughly $5 to $8 per square foot installed.
A metallic pour uses mica pigment worked with solvent and a torch to create marbled, three-dimensional effects. No two floors match, which makes it a favorite for entries, retail, and man-caves. It is the most labor-intensive finish, running $8 to $15 per square foot, and it is unforgiving of a poorly prepped slab. If the wow factor is the point, metallic earns its price.
Polyaspartic is an aliphatic topcoat that cures in hours instead of days and resists UV yellowing. That combination is why a garage can be coated and driven on inside a weekend, and why it holds color on a sun-exposed slab where standard epoxy would amber. It costs a little more, but the fast turnaround and UV stability are worth it for many homeowners near the 75002 ZIP.
Whatever finish you choose, the prep decides how long it lasts. A slab that reads high for moisture under an ASTM F1869 test will blister any coating unless it gets a vapor-barrier primer first. Diamond grinding to the correct surface profile is not optional either. A low bid that skips these steps is buying you a floor that peels.
Pick flake for everyday durability, metallic for a showpiece, and polyaspartic when you need speed or UV stability. Still unsure which fits your slab? Contact us and we will measure, test the concrete, and show you samples with no pressure.

Webmergers provides epoxy flooring in Allen, TX, and the work covers a wide range of resinous systems. Garage floor epoxy coatings, metallic epoxy floors, polyaspartic and polyurea systems, epoxy flake broadcast finishes, commercial and industrial builds, epoxy mortar overlays, and full concrete surface prep are all part of the trade, and every one of them begins on a slab that has been mechanically opened up. Homeowners near Twin Creeks and shop owners off Exchange Parkway in the 75013 ZIP call when they want a floor that shrugs off hot-tire pickup instead of peeling within a season.
This page is written as a buyer's guide first and a sales pitch second. If you have never bought a coated floor before, the choices can blur together, so it helps to sort them by finish. A flake (or chip) system broadcasts vinyl color flakes into a pigmented base coat to rejection, which hides slab imperfections and adds slip resistance. A metallic floor uses mica pigment worked with solvent and a torch for a marbled, three-dimensional look. A polyaspartic system cures in hours rather than days, resists UV yellowing, and is the reason a garage can be coated and driven on inside the same weekend.
Material matters as much as the look. A lasting floor is usually a layered build: a moisture-mitigation primer when the slab needs it, a 100% solids epoxy base for adhesion and thickness, decorative flake or metallic mica in the middle, and a polyaspartic or aliphatic polyurethane clear coat on top for abrasion and UV protection. Aluminum oxide can be added to the topcoat for grip, and silica sand or graded quartz aggregate builds a mortar layer where a slab is spalled. Dry film thickness, pot life, and cure time are not marketing terms; they decide whether a floor lasts three years or fifteen.
Preparation is where most coatings succeed or fail, and it is the part a low bid quietly skips. We open the concrete with a diamond grinder or shot blaster to reach the correct concrete surface profile, chase and fill cracks, and patch spalls before a drop of resin goes down. On a slab that tests high for moisture under ASTM F1869, we install a vapor-barrier primer to stop osmotic blistering. That discipline is why a Webmergers floor on Bethany Drive still looks new after the neighbor's roll-on kit has flaked off. When you are ready, call (945) 395-4922 for a free written quote.
Coating price is driven by the system you choose, the size of the slab, and how much repair the concrete needs before we coat. A standard garage flake system sits in the popular middle, a full-flake polyaspartic one-day build runs a little higher for its speed and UV stability, and a decorative metallic pour is the most labor-intensive. The ranges below are typical for the Allen area, and the firm number goes in writing after we measure and test the slab.
| Standard flake garage$5 to $8 per square foot installed | Full-flake polyaspartic (one day)$7 to $12 per square foot installed | Metallic epoxy (decorative)$8 to $15 per square foot installed |
