Garage Floor Tiles
When turning your garage into a neatly organized space in which you’re planning to spend a lot of time, garage floor tiles are the most versatile option for comfortable, stylish flooring.
They give a great, upscale look and offer a tremendous amount of versatility.
There are a lot of companies making garage floor tiles. These tiles lock together and come in sections that are usually a foot on each side.
They interlock with each other, so you can choose lots of different colors and patterns for one space, if you want to.
Try doing wide stripes in your favorite team’s colors, or do a black border around the edge of the garage and a bright color in the middle.
Or maybe you can do rectangles the size of your cars, lawnmowers, and bicycles, to label the parking space for each of them. A classic black and white checkerboard is a fun look, as is a diamond pattern.
For a great automotive look, choose garage floor tiles in a diamond tread. This is the tread you see on the floors of many mechanic shops and on the steps up onto tractor trailer cabs. It’s a fun look that adds traction and makes the surface less slippery.
For a garage that will serve as a play area for the kids, too, try a tile system that’s designed specifically to be used as a sporting surface for rollerblades, hockey, or tennis. They work great in garages, too.
Many of these interlocking tiles offer drain grooves, too. Most garages are built with a slight slope from the back to the opening, allowing spills and washing water to drain right out. Adding tiles with drain grooves directs the water and spills, keeping messes to a minimum.
Speaking of messes, tiled garage floors are very easy to keep clean. They don’t stain as badly as concrete, and if they do stain, you can simply throw out a tile and replace it with a new one.
Installing garage floor tiles is really easy. Just make sure you’re starting out with the tiles straight, and it’s a simple matter to snap in each successive tile.
