The garage floor is probably the most abused floor in your whole house because it is where most of the “dirty” work is being done. Despite this, most of the flooring investment is being put into the interior floors of the house while only a small portion of it will go to the garage.
However, it is worth noting that going for the low investment for your garage floors could end up being a costly problem in the future. For this, it is important to always put an effort into the kind of flooring you should use for your garage. Here are some top options you need to consider:
- Rubber Garage Floor Tiles
Rubber tiling is a unique option that offers flexibility and comfort for users. Ideal for garages with workspaces or even ones converted to living space, rubber tiles are porous and provide relief for those walking across it constantly or standing chronically.
Even schools and daycares often incorporate colorful rubber tiles into rooms children tend to sit or play on for hours at end.
Rubber tiles are great for playtime and durable to a degree, helping to protect your base floor and supporting bodies all day long. But with that being said, rubber tiles are not invincible. For example, parking vehicles over rubber tiles may render them ineffective due to the heavyweight and harsh fluids that leak from the car. In that case, you will need to opt for PVC-specific tiles to accommodate better. Source: Today’s Homeowner
- Puzzle Foam Mats
Lightweight and cost-effective, foam interlocking floor tiles snap together by design reducing the cost of installation services or extra tools. These garage flooring tiles are a particularly good choice for a multi-purpose garage that is used for fitness, gym workouts and even kids play.
- Horse Stable Garage Floor Tiles
Horse stable mats are great for levelling out uneven subfloors or surface imperfections. The dense rubber matting doesn’t require adhesive as they can be butted together using compression and a rubber mallet. Some stable mats come in an interlocking floor tiles format either using pins or connection inserts for extra stability.
This makes them a great garage flooring solution due to their heavy-duty composition and high durability, as well as being very simple to fit. This type of garage flooring option works well in garages which are being used for both vehicle storage and workshop use. Source: Sprung Gym Flooring
