10 Reasons Why You Should Coat Your Boise Garage Floors with Epoxy?
Are you having trouble making the decision on whether or not to have your garage floor coated? Maybe there is a little problem in convincing your wife (or husband) that having a garage epoxy floor installed isn’t worth the time or money?
Well for all of the reasons you might have for not pulling the trigger let me give you 10 good reasons why having Silverline install one of our custom epoxy floors in your garage is the right thing for you. Not only will Silverline epoxy floor coatings look wonderful, but also protect the environment, protect your investment in your property and even increase your property value.
So here they are some great facts that will motivate you to get your garage concrete flooring coated!
- Beautification – This is the most obvious advantage to a Silverline floor epoxy coating, but don’t overlook it. With tons of color options and floor epoxy finishes we are sure to have a system that fits just your needs and style. The difference will be night and day.
- Property Value – Another reason to apply a garage floor epoxy coating that may not be so obvious is that a finished garage floor actually increases the value of your home. Many contractors now offer to finish the concrete floor of the garage as an option with new construction. In today’s world often the garage floor is the front door!
- Clean – Epoxy floor coatings is much easier to clean, and keep clean than traditional concrete. Concrete is porous so dirt, dust, oil, etc. enter into the pores of the concrete floors and is then almost impossible to get out. A quality epoxy floor coating seals the concrete and prevents any material from penetrating the concrete surface allowing you to just brush or hose it off for a perfectly clean concrete floor.
- More Light – Garage epoxy flooring by Silverline all include a clear top coat that has a gloss to it. This reflective surface over a color that is usually much lighter than dingy grey concrete and provides a bright, well lit room. It increases the brightness in some garages so much that people have actually been able to reduce the amount of lighting they use therefore reducing energy costs!
- Green Living – A sealed garage floor prevents oil, brake fluid, etc. from penetrating your concrete and then leaking into the soil. Combine this fact with reduced energy cost and it’s pretty clear that a garage floor coating is the “green” way to improve your garage.
- Slip No More – Epoxy coatings by Silverline have great slip resistant features. Oil or water just wipes right up leaving a dry, clean surface that is much less slick than standard concrete. Also flake systems or silica sand provide a great surface that has a slip resistant yet comfortable surface.
- Reducing Moisture – Moisture Vapor Emission is a common problem when dealing with concrete. This happens when moisture vapors rise through the concrete. Not only will this damage your concrete, but it can cause rust on your metal tools and surfaces in your garage. Silverline uses a moisture barrier primer that prevents these nasty emissions and keeps your concrete looking great and your garage or shop nice and dry.
- Prevent Concrete Erosion – Elements that exist in the soil and even in your concrete when combined with moisture can spell doom for your concrete surfaces. With a proper and guaranteed epoxy coatings installation by Silverline you will avoid erosion caused by this phenomenon.
- Be Expressive – With a wide variety of finishes and color options Silverline gives you the chance to express yourself with! Combine a garage floor epoxy with some custom garage cabinets (also offered by Silverline) and you can make your garage another place where you can express your creativity.
- Keep Organized – Having a clean, beautiful garage floor will inspire you to keep the rest of your garage organized and picked up. This in turn will make you want to keep the rest of your house nice and neat as well!

Garage Epoxy Flooring Colors and Epoxy Coating Design Options
There are an endless amount of options for concrete floors coating and garage floor epoxy flooring for your garage. The increase in technology over the past 10 years has allowed garage floors to blend with any style and décor. It can range from a simple grey concrete with a weather-proof sealer to a complex coating that can look like tile, granite or even marble.
The colors and textures come in a range of colors and are usually made of high solid industrial coatings with acrylic paint chips to allow for maximum color options. This type of paint-based system provides an excellent wear surface that can stand the coldest winters and the hottest summers. There are special materials made even for impact resistance such as quartz aggregates in an resin material.
Most people choose the design of their garage epoxy flooring so it matches the look and décor of their home. Colors and textures can be matched perfectly and can hide any imperfection currently on your garage floor. Usually for floors that have no imperfections, a medium or light paint chip coverage is usually recommended. If you have a large imperfection or several smaller ones, usually a quartz aggregate is recommended. Again, either way, the color and texture is up to you.
What about care and maintenance for garage floor epoxy?
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.
DIY Garage Floor Coatings
We recently read a blog about some house flippers who decided to makeover the garage by doing an epoxy coating themselves instead of hiring a professional to do it. The before and after pictures looked great but what we need to see is the after pictures in a few years. The problem with doing it yourself is that if the prep work and application are not done correctly and the right products are not used it will not last. We often get calls from homeowners who have a coating but it is peeling up and looks terrible. The only and costly solution to this is to grind down the concrete and recoat it properly. After that, it will look amazing and will last. DIY is great but can also lead to more hassle down the road. Give Silverline a chance to give you a quote and you can save yourself a weekend of work and more money spent later. If you do have peeling in your garage let us take care of that for you.
