Garage Floor Tiles:
Customize Your Garage Today
"Aside from the initial cost, you can hardly go wrong with garage
floor tiles."
 Interlocking
garage floor tiles offer a simple, effective, affordable solution
to customize, beautify and protect your garage floor in less than
a day.
Most quality tiles are specially formulated to resist oils, chemicals,
most automotive fluids, heavy loads and direct impacts (like dropped
tools), which makes them an excellent choice for protecting your
garage floor. With their snap-together design, it is very easy to
create a customized look in less than one day.
What are the advantages?
For the do-it-yourselfer who wants to get the job done fast, interlocking
floor tiles are at the top of my list. They are easy to install
without the use of adhesives or hazardous fumes, and they are easy
to repair if ever damaged. Garage floor preparation is minimal.
Most are designed to be slip resistant, and they are easy to clean
with a mop, a broom, a wet rag or a hose.
The impact to the look and feel of your garage is extraordinary,
with only a few hours of work. The colors, custom designs, and ability
to fit any space make the possibilities almost endless. If you decide
to move, you can take the floor with you! Even if you don't have
a garage floor to cover, many tiles options can be used to create
outdoor spaces, including patios, recreation areas, etc. If you
can dream it, you can probably create it.
What are the disadvantages?
Depending on the brand and style, the cost of interlocking floor
tiles far exceeds that of concrete sealers, simple garage
floor paint or epoxy garage floor coatings.
Cheap tile products are susceptible to warping, fading, cracking,
and even absorbing water, which can lead to mold and mildew problems.
If you decide on garage floor tiles, be sure to buy a quality, well-known
brand. You will be happy you did.
What does it cost?
Prices range from about $2.00 to more than $5.00 per square foot,
depending on the brand, style, color, etc. You can find a large
selection in the $3.00 per square foot range. Hire a contractor
to do the job, and the price goes up; however, of all the garage
flooring products available, garage floor tiles are probably the
easiest to install, unless you simply want to roll out a garage
floor mat. Remember to compare your garage flooring
options first; then make your decision.
Even if you own a Toyota minivan,
custom Garage Floor Tiles have many benefits
Where do you get it?
Many of the "big box" retailers are starting to carry
garage flooring products, but I have found the best deals online where you will find a large
selection of garage flooring and garage accessories from which to
choose.
Summary
Aside from the initial cost, you can hardly go wrong with garage
floor tiles. The design possibilities are nearly endless, quality
brands are virtually indestructible, garage floor preparation is
minimal, and installation is literally a "snap." If you
have one free day, you can turn a drab, oil stained garage floor
into a literal showroom for your cars, a play room for your kids
(and for you!), a craft room for all your hobbies, a fitness room
for the entire family, etc., etc., etc. And if you ever move, you
can take it with you!
