5 Benefits Of Garage Floor Coatings

admin — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 22:17:41 +0000

The garage is often one of the most used spaces in the home. It’s used regularly for vehicle and personal storage, and as a main entrance into the home. With high-traffic in garages, high-performance floor coatings are a must have. Silverline Systems specializes in garage flooring. We provide high quality, durable and easy to maintain surfaces.

Here are 5 benefits of having garage floor coatings:

Aesthetics

The garage will be finished with a beautiful, practical design. Finishes are available in various flake combinations and colors that provide an attractive finish that can be customized to taste.

Durability

Floors will stay looking new for years. Silverline’s coatings have 100% UV protection and they provide a durable concrete surface coating that won’t wear through or peel. These coatings are actually bonded to the concrete instead of a surface coating that rests above the concrete.

Maintainable

Floors are easy to clean with a hose or mop, which will prevent dust and dirt from tracking inside. Silverline’s floor coatings are non-porous, so dirt, road sand/salt, food, gas, and oil will not saturate or stain the coating.

Usable Space

Silverline’s floor coating systems transform your cold, grab, grey garage into a warm and inviting space. Use it as another room in the home. If you’re having a get together, use the garage as a staging area to keep food and guests out of the sun and elements while having a wide open space to the outside.

Resistance

Silverline’s hybrid system includes a topcoat that has a high resistance to impact, abrasion and extreme temperature. Floors can be installed down to freezing temperatures and can also handle hot tires.

Why Should You Coat Your Garage Floors?

“Why should I coat my garage floor?” That is a question we at Silverline hear all to often. We like to think a better question is “Why wouldn’t I coat my garage floor?” After taking into account the benefits and durability a good quality coating provide we feel that you will be asking that question too!

Concrete Coatings not only make your garage look great, but they protect and extend the life of your concrete. Imagine, no more stains or “ugly” spots on your concrete. Even the toughest greases and automotive fluids wipe up with minimal effort and you are left with a floor that has a showroom shine.

Another benefit with a Silverline Garage Floor Coating is the durability. Unlike many concrete paints or low quality kits that you may see out there, our coatings are made to last. You don’t have to worry about the horror stories that many people hear about from garage floors coated with poor materials or improper preparation.

Silverline guarantees it’s floor coatings against staining, delamination, yellowing, etc. We give you the piece of mind that you will have a good quality system that will be with you for years to last. So don’t hesitate, realize the full potential of your garage. Call Silverline today and get a free estimate on your garage floor coating!

Care and Maintenance for Your Garage Floor Coatings

Because of the new technology of concrete floor coverings, the maintenance is easy. Regular maintenance includes a soft broom or dust mop. For a deeper clean, simply wash the floor with a neutral cleanser and make sure to rinse it well (always check the cleaner by placing it on a small area of the floor to make sure it doesn’t cause discoloration).

To eliminate tire marks from your garage floor you can use a cleanser such as Simple Green (10-1 diluted with water) or any non-toxic cleanser. Again, make sure to check the labels and stay away from any harsh cleaners that might ruin the look of your floors.

Although garage floor coatings are strong enough to withstand a lot of substances, they’re not perfect and it is important to clean up any spills immediately. A little maintenance can go a long way to keep your garage floor looking great.

Silverline Systems warranties all of the garage floor coatings that we install. We provide an installation that covers a quick three day window to transform your garage from ordinary to extraordinary!

Tips to Conquer a Messy Garage

Tripping over mountains of garage clutter? Well, take heart, you’re definitely not alone. Most garages have become catch-all storage zones, housing home improvement supplies like tools and paint, yard and garden necessities, recreational gear, and trash and recycling bins. Add bulky seasonal items like holiday lights and yard decorations to the mix and it’s no wonder the family car no longer fits!

The good news is you probably do have room for all that stuff; it’s just a matter of corralling each item according to type. Need help? Here are the five most common garage storage conundrums — plus space-saving solutions. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without these must-have products!

Problem 1: Too many tools, not enough shelves.

Solution: Wall-mounted, adjustable shelving or storage cabinets.

Your collection of home improvement supplies has expanded, but chances are your garage’s shelving capacity has not kept pace. You know what I mean: a jumble of hand tools and power tools all vying for space with other essentials — painting and caulking supplies, lubricants and engine oils, light bulbs and so on.

Consider upgrading to a wall-mounted shelving system or tall storage cabinets. The beauty of these systems is that they are super-durable yet also adjustable. Best of all, you can add on to them and customize as your needs change.

Problem 2: One too many rakes and brooms.

Solution: Long-handled tool tower or rack.

Does reaching for a broom mean fighting off an avalanche of other long-handled cleaning and garden implements? If so, get yourself a tool tower designed to store anything long-handled.

Mops, brooms, hoes, shovels and rakes can all be conveniently contained in a sturdy free-standing holder. If space is at a premium, try to get them up off the floor entirely with a wall-mounted device.

Problem 3: Bicycles constantly underfoot.

Solution: Ceiling-mounted bike lift or wall mounted bike racks.

If struggling to keep your family’s bicycles in an upright position is routine for you then a bike mount on the wall or a ceiling lift may be an easy solution. These systems let you reclaim precious floor space, yet still allows easy access to your wheels when needed.

A freestanding bike rack is worth considering, too, especially for kids’ bikes where easy access is essential. Nope, it won’t get bikes up off the floor, but at least they’ll be kept organized and stable.

Tip: A large rolling bin is useful for containing other bulky sports equipment like balls, helmets and catchers’ mitts.

Problem 4: Seasonal items gobbling up space.

Solution: Ceiling storage unit.

Odds are some of the bulkiest items in your garage are only used seasonally. I’m talking holiday home and yard decorations (like that 5-foot Santa yard ornament and reel-upon-reel of holiday lights), camping gear and certain sporting items like skiing and snowboarding equipment.

The secret for containing such rarely-used stuff is to stash it as high as possible, taking advantage of unused ceiling space (yes, ceiling space!). For maximum stability, install a steel storage platform designed for exactly this purpose. HyLoft Ceiling Storage Units are adjustable and simply screw into your garage’s ceiling joists. Each 45 x 45-inch section installs separately, but you can add as many as you like depending on your budget and the space available.

Problem 5: Bulky trash and recycling carts.

Solution: Stackable plastic bins.

With everything else your garage is expected to contain, do you really have room for those huge rolling trash and recycling carts from your city’s utilities department? I’m betting the answer is “No!” Okay, so stow those big bulky wheelie bins outside where they belong, in a spot that’s convenient for curb-side collection. Next, shop around for some stackable plastic bins and use these for keeping recycling contained and sorted.

No matter what storage problems you may be facing you can be sure that a garage storage system from Silverline can solve any and every problem you may have. We can provide storage solutions ranging from small cabinets to full lengths of tall cabinets and shelving and overhead storage racks. Don’t hesitate and call Silverline Systems today and let us solve all of your storage problems and turn your garage from a cluttered mess to a sanctuary of neatness!

Garage Flooring For Your At Home Work Shop

Are you considering a garage floor covering? Looking to improve the look and overall feel of your garage? Well that is exactly what one of our concrete coating systems here at Silverline can do for you.

What exactly is a concrete coating system, and why does it make an ideal garage floor covering? For starters ask yourself what you would want your ideal garage floor would be like. I’m sure you would say it would have to be durable, damage resistant, and spill proof to protect your garage floor from stray fluids that often accompany working on your car. In simple terms you want a protective layer like armor for your garage floor.

A Silverline Systems concrete coating is that armor you’re looking for. Our concrete coatings are extremely durable chemical compounds that apply to your floor in a liquid form to ensure an even and full coating. After it is applied it bonds to your concrete and hardens to give you a completely impenetrable layer of protection on your concrete. After it is fully cured and our top coating is applied you will have surface that is both water and chemical resistant that can endure in almost all elements and provide your with a stain resistant surface to ensure an easy to clean neat looking garage.

Once installed, you will have a floor that protects against stains and damage. You will of course still have to clean up stains and any kind of spills, but they will not penetrate the surface or soak into your concrete. Another benefit is that these coatings will help to prevent cracks and other damage to your garage floor.

Quite simply a concrete coating from Silverline Systems can provide you with a fantastic looking solution for your garage floor or other existing concrete that is durable, stain resistant, and easy to maintain. This makes it a great option for every home owner who is looking to not only improve the look of his existing concrete and increase the value of their home, but also make it easier to maintain. So do yourself a favor and get in touch with us here at Silverline Systems and set up a free consultation to see what we can do for your garage floor or other existing concrete.

How To Choose The Right Garage Floor Coating?

So you have finally decided to update your garage flooring a bit. Maybe it is looking a little dingy or damaged? Well, you have a variety of options, but differences exist in cost, maintenance needs, longevity and style.

One option you have is tile or stone. Although tile can look beautiful, it is usually expensive to install and not very durable. Therefore it is a good option if you do not have kids and are looking to turn your garage into more of a showroom rather than something usable.

Another option is epoxy. Epoxy flooring is cheap to install and easy to “do-it-yourself”. However, you need to be diligent with maintenance and they do not last very long.

Rubber mats are a great value and provide a durable surface that also gives some padding. This can be a great option for someone with kids who might use the garage for a play area. Unfortunately, cleaning these mats can be troublesome. Due to their interlocking design, you cannot simply hose down the floor without lifting up all the mats to ensure everything is dry.

Finally, there is our ColorFlake System. This system is similar in look as Epoxy but with longer lasting results to stains from automotive fluids and longevity with low maintenance cost. This system is ideal for colder climates and can be custom designed to match any decor or look with out the fear of delaminating or fading.

Advantages of Garage Floor Coatings in the Winter

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 12:30:18 +0000

Do not spend one more winter parking your car outside! Not only is it a hassle to start your car early to warm it up and scrape windows, but it is bad for the enviornment, wastes gas and it a safety issue (how many cars do you hear about getting stolen each year). Wouldn’t it be so nice to just walk out to your beautifully organized garage, start up your car and immeditely get on your way? We can help you accomplish this goal with our custom garage storage solutions!

As in previous blogs of late we will again be discussing a change in the seasons. We have breezed through fall and we have seen our first snow here in the Treasure Valley. Nothing is sticking yet, but we all know what is coming. Many people assume that with this type of weather home improvement projects are put on hold and await the thaw of spring. While in many cases this is true, don’t put off all of the projects you might be considering.

While many home improvement projects are impossible to complete during the winter months, a garage floor coating is one of the exceptions. Not only can Silverline Systems apply garage floor coatings year round, but we can also provide great looking garage cabinets to fully transform your garage. Not only can you get a job done that you might have been putting off because you thought you needed good weather, but you can enjoy all the benefits that one of Silverline’s extremely durable garage coatings can give you against all the nastiness that snow and slush bring into your garage.

We all know how much road grime collects in snow and slush during these colder months. Imagine if you had a garage that you could just squeegee that gunk and grime right off your floor! Quality garage floor coatings by Silverline protect your concrete from the stains and damage that road grime and sand and salts can do. You can have a great looking floor that provides an easy to clean surface to keep your garage free and clear from the not so white snow.

Remember, just because old man winter has started to rear his head it doesn’t mean that Silverline Systems can’t help you create the garage of your dreams. We will provide you with all of your garage floor coating and garage cabinet needs all year round. Silverline Systems is your source for Concrete Beautification and Home Organization!

Store those Holiday Treasures

Christmas usually means something in almost every household…New Clothes. More clothes means less space in your already cramped closet. New sweaters, socks, shirts, etc. mean less space and more frustration. Why not give yourself the gift of an organized closet that you will enjoy for years to come? The problem with most closet systems is that they are not designed to fit your specific needs. Most homes are built with a basic 2 shelf, 2 rod system that has been the standard for years. This, in most cases, is inefficient to say the least.

We at Silverline Systems are here to offer you an alternative. Imagine a closet customized and tailored to suit your specific needs. Perhaps you need less rod space and more shoe storage. Maybe it’s more shelving or stacked sections of hanging rods. Whatever you may need Silverline is able to provide you with a solution that is sure to provide you with much more storage space than you currently have. In fact in many cases the addition of a storage system can increase your closet storage space by up to three times. Another benefit is the fact that with one of Silverline Systems custom designed closets we give you the option of adjustable shelving that allows you to adjust your spaces as needed.

There are many reasons to consider customized Storage. Keep in mind that Silverline is always here to provide our customers with FREE design consultations. We will visit with you and provide a 3D rendering to show you what we can do with your space. So even though Christmas is here, don’t hesitate. Get yourself a present after the holidays to help store the presents you got during the holidays. Silverline Systems is your source for Concrete Beautification and Home Organization.
