Whether using your garage to park your vehicles, store tools and boxes, or just using it as a workout space or place to hang out sometimes, proper garage flooring needs to be tough and sturdy. Quality garage flooring and garage floor covering will make your garage floors more comfortable and easier to keep clean.
Before selecting the right garage flooring, consider the daily traffic patterns and the way in which the space is used.
Garage Floor Tiles & More
From
vinyl garage flooring and
rubber garage floors to
garage floor rolls and
garage floor tiles, we have the garage flooring products you need to complete your project.
Garage floors must be strong enough to support automobiles, bicycles, toolboxes and other heavy-duty household items, as well as withstand leaks and spills from oil and other chemicals. Garage floors can also be stylish as well as durable. These garage flooring ideas include
garage carpeting,
garage floor rolls, standing mats and garage floor covering, which can ensure that the floor will look better while lasting longer.
While many garage floor cover options come in shades of black and gray to help conceal tire marks and spills, some come in a variety of colors to give a garage a brighter, more vibrant look. Garage floor coverings often have raised patterns that give them a stylish texture while making them more slip resistant. Surface patterns include diamond, ribbed and coin.
Tip: Thoroughly clean a garage's concrete floor and repair cracks and imperfections before installing flooring, especially when applying a coating.
Garage Floor Paint
One of the easiest ways to improve the appearance of garage floors is with
garage floor paint. Coatings such as paint are also the least expensive and easiest to apply yourself, although preparing the floor can be a time-consuming process. Consider using
garage floor epoxy paint when tackling your
garage floor paint project.
Epoxy paint is a chemical-resistant paint-like coating with a glossy finish that lasts longer and offers better protection from spills and hot tires than standard paint. It is not recommended for use on garage floors that hold moisture, which will undermine the bonding process.
Acrylic latex paint is moisture resistant and is the most popular type of paint for garage floors. It is less expensive than other coatings.
Concrete stains can give a plain concrete floor the appearance of marbled stone. Stains can be easier to apply than paints but may require more frequent reapplication as well as a sealer or wax.
Tip: When applying paint or another coating to a garage floor, check instructions to see if it requires a concrete primer coat for stronger bonding.
Garage Flooring Mats
Made of vinyl and other materials,
garage floor mats can be ordered in custom shapes and unrolled into place. They are easy to install but run a risk of being gouged or cut by sharp, hard objects.
We have lots of options if you’re looking for a
garage car mat, an
anti-fatigue garage mat or a
garage drainage mat.
