After 2yrs of dithering, finally pulled the pin on some garage flooring company tiles. They have 10% off at the mo, so covers all the postage plus a bit. https://www.garagefloortilecompany.com/collections/floor-bundles Black & red, obvs…. Also asked if they have a Ducati logo tile to match the Porsche one
I'm going all out and bagging me some of this quality stuff https://www.halfords.com/tools/gara...UX62BRc799kYZ5vDC31iIP0T_Q6fHMwYaAtWlEALw_wcB
Good timing. I’ve been doing the garage flooring, but have had a nightmare with Amazon. Long story short, I bought some floor mats from them about five years ago, bought a few more to fully cover the floor last week, but the manufacturer has changed their description of the colour, so have had a complete load of hassle returning the wrong ones. Gave up and bought all new mats which will be here tomorrow, so I’ll stick a picture up when it’s finished.
I’ve considered this but I’m concerned that covering a concrete floor with a non-breathable membrane will cause condensation to form during fluctuations in weather conditions What flooring does your garage have?
these go direct on the floor. It’s a damp concrete floor. I think it’s breathable enough and with the expansion edges will work ok. But, I’ve resigned myself to if it doesn’t and it lifts due to moisture under I’ll have to put a low false floor in, 25mm battens with 19mm osb or something, and fit on that. The info suggests they will be fine with some winter moisture
Just applied for planning permission for 30 meter long 7 meter deep garage. I think planning officer fainted cos I heard nothing back in 2 weeks
I used Resincoat paint for my last garage, it was bloody brilliant, far better than any of the off the shelf stuff, the only thing was that on porous floors the coverage doesn’t do anywhere near what they claim
Plastic garage flooring is great but be careful not to get it wet. Water can get underneath and doesn't dry, ends up being very smelly.
this! Also, I found you need to at least seal the floor to stop the dust getting pushed up, and more so the plastic floor can rub away at the floor under it.
Just put these mats down, once they flatten properly I’ll tape them to each other so they don’t move.
Well I’m hoping they work ok with some damp or ice spunked 750 on shot that won’t work. Looking at the info, it suggest water is ok, they can be used outside too, and the expansion gap helps. We’ll soon see…plan b raise floor and refit tiles.
Take care putting another floor over a damp one, you could end up trapping the rising damp under the new floor and it will rot in no time. There's lots of treatments available, resin systems and remedial products. If the floor is flat you can put a 1200 guage membrane down, lay a 25mm celotex layer over that then put a 22mm moisture resistant sheets over that, or ply tounge and grooved sheet. Then cut back the membrane to the new level, you can lay whatever floor finish on top of that. If the original floor is rough then run a latex screed first. If you can lay the membrane in one that's best, if not overlap the joints and tape over. Every thing above the membrane will stay nice and dry and warm. I hope that helps.
