There are options available to make the perfect garage floor to meet anyone’s taste.  Generally the two best options are rolled garage flooring and garage floor tiles.  Deciding which type of floor is a matter of preference and cost.

The lowest price flooring is rolled.  This type of garage flooring is also the easiest type of floor to install.  Simply roll the floor out and trim around any obstructions.  The seems can be taped together or left floating.

The other type of flooring is garage floor tiles.  This type of floor is more expensive and takes a little more time to install.  In many opinions, it provides the homeowner with the best looking floor.  There are two type of garage floor tiles, peel and stick and interlocking garage floor tiles.  Peel and stick tiles use a strong adhesive to remain in place.  Interlocking tiles are a floating system in which each tile locks into the other creating a grid that stays nicely in place.

Prep & Installation Instructions

(1) How much tile will you need? We recommend that you purchase about 10% more tile than your project will require. This will allow you to cover mistakes, trimming and for future possible damage.

(2) Clean Floor: Clean sub floor free of grease, wax, dirt, oil, foreign matter and any chemicals that may be present. Make sure subfloor is smooth and fill in areas if needed.

(3) Preparation of Sub Floor: Concrete must be fully cured (about 28 days or longer after pouring), free of moisture and alkalinity. Make standard moisture and alkalinity test if necessary. Moisture and alkali will not hurt or damage the RaceDay tile, but it can damage the adhesive and cause it to break down over time. Note: It is the responsibility of the installer or flooring contractor to determine the dryness of all concrete subfloors before installation of floor tiles begins. On grade concrete subfloors must contain an effective, permanent moisture barrier (floor primer or basement proofer). Plywood/solid wood subfloors should be dry and fully cured. It is also recommended to use a primer on wood subfloors for better bond. The primer prevents the adhesive from being absorbed into the concrete or wood surface. Failure to use primer over concrete voids warranty. All holes, cracks, and depressions must be filled with a latex underlayment and any cracks and depressions must be eliminated. Dust should be removed with a vacuum or damp mop and dried immediately before applying peal and stick tile.

(4) Layout of Room: Lay out some unpeeled tile on floor to see how your pattern and placement will look before actually applying tile. It is recommended to always start from a square point and work out. Treat room as a rectangle and find the center points of two end walls. Mark floor to insure square point and make a guideline with pencil, ink, laser or light chalk line for your first row of tile then entire grid if desired (if using a chalk line make sure you do not have excessive chalk on floor, it can prevent adhesive from sticking).

(5) Laying Tile: Make sure all tile has been stored at room temperature of at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of 48 hours. Do not install tile in conditions less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Always start from center and work out. Peel off release paper and place tile edge flush with marking line and slowly lower remainder of tile onto floor in a bent fashion as if you were unrolling a mat. This will keep air out and assure an even stick. Tile can be peeled back up and repositioned if required.

(6) Boarder Tile: Do not peel off paper from back before you make your cuts. Turn tile over and place loose tile over last row so that one end of loose tile is touching the wall. Then mark paper of loose tile with pencil and cut with knife. Then peel off back of fitted tile, turn over and put in place. When fitting around obstacles make pattern on paper and draw an outline on the back of tile paper to cut shape.

(7) For best results, be sure to roll your floor in both directions after installation to make sure all air bubbles are out and adhesive touches the subfloor.

New Garage Floor Tile Colors

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.
