One long, uninterrupted space

With a generous floor area and very little to break up the room, every variation in the old concrete was visible. The customer wanted a simple finish that would make the garage feel complete without introducing another pattern or competing colour.

Choosing a solid grey

Graphite grey was selected to give the space some depth while keeping it bright beneath the new ceiling lights. A gloss finish added reflection across the long floor and worked well with the otherwise restrained white-and-grey palette.

Preparing the full area

The slab was checked, mechanically ground and cleaned around the edges and fixed details. Local imperfections were repaired before the primer and high-build colour coats were applied. A clear final seal produced the even sheen seen across the completed room.

A quieter backdrop

The new floor turns a collection of separate surfaces into one continuous space. Its solid colour keeps the visual noise low and gives the garage a clean backdrop for cars, storage and future workshop furniture.
