Garage Flooring

[97SierraGMC]

Well my parents have a very large garage and they are giving my my own section of it for my 4 wheeler and truck..

 

i want to put down a cool tile or flooring stuff to make it look better than rough concrete i am also buying shelves to put extra parts and stuff on too as well as a tool box..

 

i think it would be cool to have a black and white checker board tile but where do i buy the right stuff?

 

its basically just a place to fix stuff and work on my things but i want it to be really clean and organized.

 

thanks!

Are you referring to just linoleum in a checker pattern? Seems that would be quite easy to orchestrate. How about something simpler...floor epoxy with the chips? That's always a good surface that's easy to clean and looks pretty good. They've got plenty of choices on that stuff at the Home Depot or Lowes.

That's the way to go. But make sure you get the stuff that is 100% oil resistant, and something that has a "grit" in it. Makes it a lot easier to walk on when it's wet or has oil spilled on it.

well the epoxy stuff is pretty permanent isn't it?

 

its not my house or garage so i don't know about that

 

the linoleum stuff would be better i want it to look like the shop on the show Trucks

They make interlocking tiles for garage floors that do not require glue. But they are VERY expensive.

Flexi-tile is one brand. I've put down a lot of it.

You can purchase it at Lowes. Go to the flooring dept. and ask to see samples. They can order it.

 

Compare store prices to website, it may be cheaper to order it yourself

Looks good. But I think he's looking for something that's not permanent.

Duct tape, just use different colors to make the pattern you want. When it comes time to remove it just pull it up. If any gets dirty or torn...just replace it. For some extra support you could use some bailin' wire to it.

Home Depot just came out recently with a line of interlocking tiles, no glue, different color schemes, and waaay cheaper then lowes. Check them out. ITs great stuff.

But do they make the Tony The Tiger color scheme?

For non-premanent flooring, I would recommend linoleum. It is 12 ft. width, and can be layed down, without glue, just tape the edges. Price usually $1-$2 sq.ft. I am a flooring contractor, and we have the black / white checker pattern, in stock. It's popular for toy haulers. The floor on the trucks set, is vct tile, usually installed in commercial business, and is glued down. Both flooring are a softer compound, can be scratched or torn, not for jack stands.

yes they do

I used to carry the RaceDeck line from Snap Lock Industries when we were selling Gladiator Garage components. I have it all through my basement and under my GTI. There product is really nice and of extreme quality. My only squak is that its not easy to sweep into a dust pan on it! They also have the finish edges that taper if you are only doing a section in the garage.

 

I definately recomend it, but I have no idea the cost comparison to other brands. Ill see if I can find a pic of mine. I did a yellow checkerboard and to drive stripes.
