Transform Your Garage Flooring with Non-Slip Coating
Garage floors often go unnoticed until a slip or fall catapults them into the spotlight. Imagine carrying heavy tools or walking through your garage with wet shoes only to slip on an oily patch. It's not just inconvenient; it can be dangerous. That's where non-slip coatings come in, transforming your garage into a safer, more functional space.
GarageExperts® of Boise knows the importance of non-slip coatings for garage floors. We offer a non-slip topcoat as an add-on to our epoxy and polyaspartic flooring services. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or run a professional workshop, this non-slip coating can make all the difference in safety and utility. That is why we’re here to elaborate on the many benefits of this add-on feature.
The Structure of Our Flooring System
Epoxy Basecoat
Before examining the advantages of non-slip flooring, it’s helpful to understand the three primary layers of our flooring system, which begins with an epoxy basecoat. This layer provides a strong, durable foundation that adheres well to the concrete substrate. Epoxy is known for its excellent bonding capabilities and forms the perfect base for subsequent layers.
Middle Flake Layer
The middle layer consists of decorative flakes, adding visual appeal and texture to the floor. These flakes can be customized in various colors and patterns to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Polyaspartic Topcoat
Finally, the polyaspartic topcoat seals everything in, offering a high-gloss surface that is resistant to UV rays, chemicals, and abrasions. This topcoat ensures that your garage floor remains beautiful and functional for years.
Non-Slip Coating Is an Essential Add-On
A non-slip coating is an additional layer applied to epoxy and polyaspartic garage floors to enhance traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls. While it’s not automatically included in standard flooring installations, it's a highly recommended upgrade.
How It Works
Non-slip coatings mitigate slips by providing a textured surface that can better handle and contain spills. This specialized coating also offers a better grip, even when the floor is wet or oily. This makes cleaning up easier and prevents accidents caused by slick spots.
Non-slip coatings can be incorporated into the topcoat layer, providing a durable, long-lasting solution. Various types of non-slip coatings are available. Each type offers different levels of traction and durability, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific needs.
Slippery Garage Floors Can Cause Falls & Accidents
Garages are versatile spaces that serve as storage units, workshops, and sometimes even as additional living areas. However, the utility of this space can be compromised by slippery floors, which pose serious hazards.
According to the National Safety Council, slips and falls are among the leading causes of unintentional injuries in the United States. In garages, these accidents can be exacerbated by common activities such as handling power tools, lifting heavy objects, and frequent foot traffic.
The Added Dangers of Oil Spills and Leaks
Garages often house chemicals and substances that can make surfaces even more slippery. Oil, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids are notorious for creating slip hazards. Oil spills and leaks are common in garages and can create hazardous conditions. Even a small amount of oil can make a concrete floor extremely slippery, posing a significant risk.
Water from rain-soaked tires and other leaks can also create a dangerously slick surface. Therefore, addressing these risks is crucial for anyone who spends considerable time in their garage and wants to minimize accidents and optimize safety. Non-slip coating is a great solution.
The Benefits of Non-Slip Coating on Epoxy and Polyaspartic Flooring
Enhanced Safety
The most obvious benefit of a non-slip coating is the enhanced safety it provides. This is especially critical in a space like a garage, where slipping can lead to severe injuries. The coating helps prevent accidents by improving traction, making your garage a safer place for everyone.
Increased Durability
Non-slip coatings can also extend the life of your garage floor. The added layer acts as a protective barrier against wear and tear, chemical spills, and other damaging elements, making your investment in epoxy and polyaspartic flooring even more worthwhile.
Easy Maintenance
Contrary to what you might think, non-slip coatings do not complicate the cleaning process. In fact, they can make it easier to clean up spills and debris by providing a textured surface where dirt doesn’t easily adhere. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually all that’s required.
Long-Term Benefits
Non-slip coatings alleviate two primary perils of oil spills and leaks, contributing to your garage's long-term safety and functionality. This proactive measure can save you from costly accidents and repairs down the line.
