A Kirkland garage with red and mint cabinets got 506 sq ft of Comet flake polyurea, coated up 51 feet of stem wall, in one November day.
Most garage floors are chosen to disappear. This one wasn't. This Kirkland garage already had a wall of bright red cabinets and a matching workbench, a set of soft mint green cabinets, with a dark wood post and beam running through the middle of the room. Bare, oil-stained concrete was the only thing in the garage with no personality.
In November 2024 our crew installed a garage floor coating in Kirkland with Certified Penntek polyurea in Comet, a white and grey flake with flecks of blue and black. 506 square feet of floor plus the stem walls, done in one day. It ties the red and the mint together instead of fighting them.
We visited for the free consultation in September 2024. Moisture read 3.8%, and the slab was rated in good condition on the Penntek warranty job card. It had a smooth, polished-looking surface in places, dark oil and tire stains in the parking area, a few hairline cracks near the door, and the usual mix of bikes, ladders and gym gear around the edges.
The room also had a furnace, a water heater and an electrical panel along one wall, plus the wood post planted right in the floor. All of it had to be worked around cleanly.
Installation was November 4, 2024, on a 50°F day:
The card lists 51 feet of verticals, meaning the coating wraps up onto the stem walls around the room. It gives the floor a finished edge, especially under the red base cabinets.
When the cabinets are loud, the floor has a choice: compete or connect. Comet connects. The white and light grey keep it bright, the black chips give it depth, and the blue flecks pick up the cool tone of the mint cabinets while contrasting with the red. A plain grey blend would have looked flat in here.
Comet doesn't have its own color page on our site. See the rest of the range on our styles and colors page, and if you're stuck between options, bring your cabinet colors to the consult and we'll lay samples right next to them.
People usually search for an epoxy garage floor. What we install is Certified Penntek polyurea, and the difference is mostly in what happens over years, not days. Our post on epoxy vs. polyurea in a Seattle-area garage lays it out in plain terms.
The short version: the pure polyurea basecoat bonds to the concrete at over 1,300 PSI and stays flexible with the slab. The polyaspartic topcoat is non-porous, so oil, gas and road salt wipe off instead of staining. You can see that in the Penntek Stain Test. And FadeLock™ keeps the topcoat from yellowing, which would muddy a white-and-blue blend fast.
Kirkland garages tend to be workshops, gyms and bike rooms as much as parking. If yours has its own look, the floor can be part of it. Our Kirkland garage floor coating page covers how we work in town, and you can compare a more neutral look in a Kirkland garage finished in Slate Stone. New to Penntek? Start with what Penntek polyurea is.
Yes. Some Penntek flake blends, like Comet, mix colored chips in with white, grey and black. It's a good way to tie the floor to cabinets, trim or a home gym without going all in on a bold solid color.
Verticals are the linear feet of wall the coating runs up, usually the concrete stem wall around the edge. On this Kirkland job that was 51 feet. It seals the joint between wall and floor and makes the perimeter easier to clean.
Fresh drips are visible on a light blend, but they don't soak in. The polyaspartic topcoat is non-porous, so oil and fluids wipe up with a rag and a household cleaner.
