DIY Garage Flooring Kits

There are a few reasons to upgrade your garage flooring from improving the appearance to brightening up the garage to adding added layers of durability and protection against cracks, moisture, and chemical damage. Upgrading your garage flooring does not have to be expensive. In fact, there are some options that can be great DIY projects. Here are some high-quality flooring kit ideas to upgrade your garage flooring. Remember, if you have any questions about your garage, you can contact Bob’s Advance Garage Doors for assistance.

Modular Garage Flooring Tiles

Modular garage flooring tiles are easy to install without professional assistance or sophisticated tools. You will not need glue or tools because they are interlocking and snap together. Each tile generally comes in 1 foot by 1 foot sizes. All you need to do is measure the area in your garage, clear out obstacles, and clean the area before snapping the pieces together to give you a whole new flooring. They are durable, able to withstand the pressure of a parked car, and come in different colors. One downside of these tiles, however, is that they can slide and can be a little noisy.

Garage Floor Mats

Garage floor mats are another easy to install flooring option with impressive flexibility. You can order floor mats in a range of sizes and they are easy to cut to fit the area in your garage. They are generally made of waterproof backing and come with double sided tape to make sure they stay firmly in their place.

Commercial Grade Flooring Rolls

Polyvinyl rolls are thin but are incredibly resistant to physical impact and heavy weights. People do complain that the tires of a parked car eventually leave some discoloration on the mat, but it does not seem to be a widespread problem. They come in set sizes but can be adjusted with a knife or razor. Because they are not glued or taped to the floor, they are easy to remove and clean underneath when necessary. Another con of flooring rolls is that they can curl or move around.

Epoxy Floor Coating

Epoxy floor coating has become a very popular option for residential as well as commercial flooring for their incredible durability and resistance to impact, pressure, and chemical spills. They also provide remarkable water resistance and slip resistance. Epoxy floor coatings come in many different colors and can be coated to provide extra reflectivity, brightening up darker garages and using less electricity. 

The preparation and installation is more complicated than the previous options and it can be easy to make a mistake and have uneven flooring. However, there are professionals that can assist with the installation process.
