Garage Flooring News

A standard garage floor usually is just plain concrete, and this is fine for most folks. But if the dust and dirt bothers you, or you don’t like the look of it, you might want to upgrade yours. Here are some super ideas that might be worth a try.

Thoroughly clean the floor before doing anything else. You can use whatever cleaners you need to, but make sure it’s very clean and free of grease before continuing. Then measure the area so you will know exactly how large it is when you go to purchase materials.

You can paint it, and this will give it a clean look as well as preventing the constant dusting that comes from concrete. It also will make it less likely to absorb future stains. Use an epoxy paint that is made for garage floors. This paint is very tough and can stand up to the heat of your car tires, as well as most automotive and shop chemicals. You can get your paint ready-mixed or even custom tinted in a variety of colors. Read and follow the package directions for the best results. Don’t forget the prep, as it is very important.

You can buy roll flooring for garages, too. It is easy to install and comes in a variety of colors as well. You can place mats under the cars or do the whole garage floor. Some even collect fluids that might leak or drip onto your floor from your car, preventing messes. It is also a good solution for a cracked or stained floor.

Plastic and rubber flooring tiles are another good flooring material. These are very strong and last a long time and, because they are tiles, if one becomes damaged or stained, it easily can be replaced. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, too.

You can decide which system will work best for you. Check paint stores, auto-supply dealers or online sources for these products and more. This upgrade can even add some real value to your property if done right.

SnapLock Industries Inc. was awarded two US patents for their DuraCourt and BounceBack sports surfaces.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) September 25, 2009 — SnapLock Industries Inc. was awarded two US patents for their DuraCourt and BounceBack sports surfaces. The first patent covers the multi-level, slip-resistant surface of the DuraCourt flooring. The second applies to the lateral locking and Dual Suspension® systems of the BounceBack flooring.

“We believe we make the best modular sports flooring available today. Our unique patented designs have exceeded the expectations of our customers all over the world,” said Jorgen Moller, CEO of SnapLock Industries.

BounceBack, a ¾” flooring system, has the highest shock-absorption rating of any modular sports tile. Its ShockLock® and Dual Suspension® systems allow for greater impact stability and support heavier rolling loads. The under-structure of the BounceBack provides a “cush” effect and increases ball response in sports like basketball and volleyball.

DuraCourt, a 5/8″ tall outdoor modular sports surface, is more rigid and impact stable for multi-sport games like inline hockey and tennis.

Even a small investment can bring large returns

VAUGHAN, ONTARIO, MEDIA RELEASE–(Marketwire – Dec. 1, 2008) – In the current economic climate, consumers are constantly looking for ways to make their dollars go further – when it comes to home improvement and getting the best return on your investment, look no further than the garage.

After many years of increased housing values, the trend has begun to reverse – making improvements to your garage is one way to minimize the negative effects of an economic downturn.

“The impact of an organized garage on the value of a home is quite amazing,” says Frank Spano, Vice President of Marketing, Garage Living, Canada’s leading garage specialists. “It makes space more useable and appealing to look at, both in the home and in the garage, thus enhancing its value.”

Getting the clutter out of a home and storing it in the garage in an organized fashion increases living space, which is at a premium in many homes these days. Inside the home, with things less busy and space more abundant, it helps to give the home a roomy, designer appearance and makes life that much easier.

“After the renovation, I realized that there are so many benefits to organizing a garage – not only were we able to get all the clutter off the floor, but we were able to find a place for everything. Now it’s easy to find gardening tools, sports equipment, and pretty much anything we store, but only use periodically – we even have room to park our car,” says Bruce Mann, a client of Garage Living. “And what a difference to the inside of our home; getting things off the floor that were just taking up room, and storing them in the garage, created more space.”

With Garage Living, as little as $1,000 can turn a cluttered garage into a multi-functional room that is organized and clean. It’s almost like putting on a new addition to the home – and it can even increase its value.

“What I didn’t count on was the street appeal,” says Mann. “People today looking to buy a home appreciate the attractiveness and benefits of an organized, functional garage, and are even willing to pay a little bit more. So, should we decide to sell our home, it’ll be one of the more saleable homes in our subdivision.”

Just about anything you want.  How about using it at an airplane hanger, patio, lounge, warehouse, product display, shop and yes, even a garage.  Your options are limitless.  Have an image of your finished project?  Email it to us and we’ll post it on our site!
