Garage Flooring Options

Work in progress

There are a number of options for garage flooring and this guide is to show different options with the merits of each.

Foam Tiles

Probably one of the easiest and least messy but could potentially be more expensive than a pot of paint.

Machine Mart - Clarke Anti Fatigue Foam Floor Tiles

Not the cheapest at £20 but comes with a nice set of yellow borders (if you like that sort of thing). I understand that you can mix and match them with a cheaper option from ...

Maplins Interlocking Cushioned Floor Mats

These are reportedly identical to the Clarke tiles and can be mixed and matched. If you wanted a small yellow border (by the garage door for instance) then you could buy one pack from Machine Mart and then buy the rest from Maplins. Pretty good value at £12.99 a set.

The same tiles are available for £10 from Costco if you have access to an account.

Carpet

A nice Axminster will do but any old carpet is perfect. If you use carpet tiles then there is a risk of them being moved by your wheels so it might be worth glueing them down with spray mount (or another glue)

Lino Flooring

Many people have bought non-slip lino flooring from ebay (other places stock it of course) for around £5 per sq/m.

Search for 'non slip vinyl flooring' and you should find what you're looking for.
