In the Inland Northwest, your garage floor isn’t just a surface—it’s a frontline defense against snow, mud, and dramatic weather shifts. Unfortunately, most coatings can’t keep up. That’s why Garage Floor Coating Inland NW installs floors with one critical difference: a moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy base coat that’s built for long-term performance, not just a quick finish.
The Problem with Most Floor Coatings
Across Spokane and the Inland Northwest, homeowners are sold on coatings that fail fast. Many companies offer quick “1-day” installs, using polyurea or polyaspartic coatings as the direct-to-concrete base coat (so they can get the install done in the promised “1-day”). While polyurea and polyaspartics make for excellent clear top coats, they’re terrible base coats. They cure so quickly, especially in the presence of moisture, that they don’t deeply penetrate and strongly bond with the concrete slab. As a result, these wafer-thin coating systems are susceptible to peeling (delamination) under medium to high moisture conditions—common in this region.
Then there are watered-down epoxy systems (water-based, less than 100%-solids). These lose a significant portion of their volume during curing as water or solvents evaporate, leaving behind a thinner base layer.
The GFC Solution: A Better Build from the Ground Up
The difference starts where most systems fall short: the foundation. GFC uses a moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy as the base layer for every coating system. It acts as a moisture vapor barrier and delivers the performance that Spokane garages need.
- It applies thick and stays thick—no evaporation means full strength.
- It slowly and deeply penetrates the concrete, locking into place.
- It forms a dense barrier (it’s a high-build coating) that provides top-tier moisture mitigation, essential for homes facing snowmelt, rain, and seasonal humidity.
After the base coat, GFC adds two layers of a 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoat to seal, protect, and finish strong. So our coating systems are hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic; we use the best properties of each coating type to create the most durable coating system. But in the end, it’s the thick, moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids epoxy underneath that makes the system last.
Why Spokane Homes Need It Built This Way
The Inland Northwest is beautiful, but brutal on concrete. Temperature swings and ground moisture can ruin cheap coatings in a matter of months. That’s why our garage floor coating systems, installed by Garage Floor Coating Inland NW, are designed to endure—not just look good.
When you start with a moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy, you’re not just getting more material. You’re getting more value, more durability, and far fewer repairs.
If you want your floor to last through winter, summer, and everything in between, start with what matters. Our 100%-solids garage floor epoxy is built different—and built for the Inland Northwest.
