The Mistake Homeowners Often Make: Skipping an Anti-skid Polyaspartic Floor Coating

In Spokane and the Inland Northwest, weather extremes are a part of life. Snow, ice, rain, and even dry dust from late summers all find their way into garages. Yet many homeowners make the mistake of thinking their coated concrete floor is tough enough to handle it—without realizing how dangerously slick poorly installed coated concrete becomes, under even mild moisture or debris.

That mistake can have serious consequences, particularly for families with young kids, seniors, or anyone who needs steady, safe footing day-to-day.

The Solution: A Polyaspartic Floor Coating with Professional Anti-Skid Protection

At Garage Floor Coating Inland NW, we offer a smarter, safer way to protect your garage: installing a premium hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic floor coating with anti-skid; it’s built for real-world safety. Our trusted 2-day installation system creates a stronger, safer surface.

• Day 1: We apply a thick, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat that acts as a moisture vapor barrier. It deeply penetrates and bonds to the concrete slab preventing moisture from wicking up from below. This base coat is critical for Spokane’s wet winters and spring thaws.
• Day 2: Two separate 100%-solids polyaspartic top coats are installed. In the last coat, we blend in a polypropylene anti-skid additive to create reliable traction without a rough, gritty feel.

For specialized needs, GFC also offers:

• Quartz or aluminum oxide options for high-slip areas like ramps or sloped driveways
• GFC Media, a proprietary anti-skid blend perfect for patios, pool decks, and other barefoot-friendly spaces
