Price per square foot goes down as the footage goes up.
Small floors get expensive because you still have to do all the steps and make multiple trips, thus a high unit price.
Not sure what someone would charge for a garage but that type of floor is definitely overkill. The reason schools and hospitals use them is because they hold up well to constant cleaning and they can be made waterproof to protect the areas in a building under the floor. When you mop a floor everyday, you have to worry about seams in a floor leaking. Thus, the seamless floor.
There is an alternate to get the same look as someone mentioned above. You can apply a coat of epoxy and then broadcast media to excess. Go back the next day, sweep up the media and do again. You can build up a floor that looks similar to the above.
The pictured floor is definitely trowel applied due to the integral base.
You would have a lot of trouble trying to get media to stick to a vertical surface.
