When it comes to upgrading your garage floor, not every project needs the most premium system to make a big impact. That’s where our Tru-Flake 1-Day Eco-Sparse Garage Flooring System comes in—a smart, budget-friendly option that still delivers on performance, appearance, and durability. Whether you're organizing your garage for the first time or just tired of looking at oil stains and cracks, Eco-Sparse offers a clean, professional look without a lengthy or expensive process.
What is the Eco-Sparse System?

Our Eco-Sparse System is a solid choice for homeowners who want to balance cost with quality. It features a durable polyaspartic basecoat and a light flake broadcast, which gives the floor subtle texture and added grip. Unlike full broadcast systems, the sparse flake application allows more of the base color to show through—making it a great way to showcase your favorite hue or match your garage to other parts of your home.
Best of all? This system is installed in just one day and is designed to return to service quickly, so you’ll be back to using your garage by the next morning.
1-Day Eco-Sparse Garage Flooring System Process
What makes this system work so well is our streamlined process, which packs performance and reliability into a single-day installation. Here’s how it works:
Step One: Surface Preparation

We start by removing all dirt, oil, and any existing coatings from your garage floor. Our team uses mechanical grinders with diamond abrasives to profile the concrete and open up the pores for optimal adhesion. This step is crucial and not rushed—we even go back after repairing cracks to grind again and make sure the surface is perfectly prepped. During the whole process, we use a HEPA-filtered vacuum system to keep the worksite clean and control airborne dust.
Step Two: NanoX Polyaspartic Base Coat Application
Next, we apply a 10-12 MILS thick pigmented NanoX Polyaspartic base coat in your selected color. This high-performance base layer not only creates a strong foundation but also sets the tone visually. The coating cures quickly and provides superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and moisture.
Step Three: Medium Flake Broadcast

Once the base coat is down, we broadcast your selected color flake blend with medium coverage. This enhances both grip and aesthetics without overwhelming the surface. You get just the right amount of texture to reduce slipperiness while still showing off the color beneath. Tru Non-Slip and Cove Base upgrades are already included in this system for added safety and finish.
Step Four: Tru Alpha NanoX Clear Coat with Non-Slip Additive
To finish the system, we apply a clear 100% solids Tru Alpha NanoX Polyaspartic topcoat—also 10–12 MILS DFT—with a polycarbonate non-slip additive mixed in. This topcoat locks in the flakes, provides UV stability, and adds another layer of protection against wear and tear, tire pickup, and Florida’s intense climate.
Step Five: Cure Time, Inspection, and Walkthrough
After application, your floor will be:
Ready for light item placement after 6 hours
Ready for foot traffic in 16 hours
Ready for vehicular traffic in 24 hours
We perform a full quality inspection before wrapping up and ensure everything meets Tru-Grit’s standards. Any small imperfections or touch-ups are handled on-site to make sure you’re left with a flawless finish.
