Garage floor tiles

Broncho · 01-20-2018, 11:50 AM

I have a pretty decent detached garage that needs a little tlc after doing up the house, new facias etc but it's got a rough concrete floor and I'd like some tiles for it.

Anybody fitted theirs out, any recommendations?

New flooring old chap?

You don’t have the in laws under there?

I got this after a recommendation from another forum user, not cheap, but good quality.

I too would love these but I worry about water getting underneath when the car drips.

I went for the Rolson foam jigsaw tiles from Halfords - can’t go wrong at the price and the provide a nice bit of insulation too.
They’re cheap enough that if one gets ruined, just lift it and lay a new piece! Plus, added bonus is that they compress after a while where the car wheels sit, so I know exactly where to stop the car now!

And have these, any water gets on or under them and they are ruined. Wouldn't recommend.

Also have a look at Moto Tiles. I've had them down for 5 years and they still look brilliant (when washed over).

Never found that - maybe I’ve just been lucky. I even wash them down now and again with soapy water and a sponge

Agree, get 20 bags of self level, which will sort the roughness and seal it.
Paint is sound job

How does a trolley jack perform on these rubber tiles??

Did this in my garage, leaves a superb finish. I recommend the high performance stuff that "can" be used as a final wearing surface. It has fibres in it that make it super strong, the original floor slab was cracked, I used anchor set green structural resin to repair, then applied adhesion promoter, then performance levelling compound. A year later it still looks brand new. No cracks or anything.

I've held off painting as it all eventually peels or lifts especially under warm tyres. You have to go polyeurea or poly aspartic to get a long lasting covering, can be Â£200-250 for a single garage. I'm thinking of going high performance roll flooring like they use in hospital wards. No gaps, can be washed and very hard wearing. And I won't have to leave my garage contents on the drive for a day.
