As the title, what coatings, coverings do you have and how well does it work ?

I've just built a new garage and I want a easy to clean, dust free surface that won't wear as the car is driven in a out.

I've used cheaper garage floor paints in previous garages and its not lasted too long. Currently considering 2 part epoxys, rubber floor tiles or ceramic tiles.

Ideally want something not too expensive, but willing to pay the extra for something that will last

So any advice / recommendations ?

 

I painted mine in the cheap garage floor paint on ebay and it peels off when i drive the car in there so also interested in knowing??

 

Heated floor with ceramic tiles. I often get a uncontrollable urge to just lie down on it.

 

thougt about getting some of this for mine

Ive used johnsons floor paint
prepared the floor by vacuming then mopping
two coats of p v a mixed with water and it seems very easy to keep clean and hard wearing

 

how big is your garage and what did it cost to? also to run?

 

costco are doing a roll of vinyl garage floor covering just now for Ł120 a roll

 

i painted mine with industrial floor paint it has never peeled easy to lean ect but the trolley jack and ramps now slide and when its wet im like torvill and dean

 

Mate of mine put the rubber garage flooring down, was great until he jacked his car up and the jack went straight through!

 

got a couple pieces of chequer plate for that,and four squares for axle stands.

 

I've got normal concrete floor, then floor painted. Then got carpet down. Just get the hoover out and its clean again!

 

I've a thick rubber matting down on mine. It's heavy and durable. Plus, when your under the car, or kneeling down to jack it up. Its ok on your joints.

 

 

i know a couple o guys with this stuff its a bit pricey but apparntly worth it

 

Where can I get it from?

 

R-tek manufacturing Armagh n, Ireland there doing special offer at the minute for black and grey Ł18 square metre

 

cannt remember exactly but am sure i saw an ad in one of the ford magazines retro performance or one of them or try googling it something might come up

 

i googled in garage floor tiles and amongst others this came up but theres afew companies out there that can supply

I got mine off of ebay think it worked out around 400 pounds to do my garage. Since then they have been down for 2 years, in that time they have had a hard life but still come up fairly well with a good scrub. If you use your garage for storing a car there great if you use it for working on them then paints the better option.

 

That's a cracking garage mate! I've painted my floor with industrial stuff that BMW/specialist cars use on there workshop floors! When I move house i'l probably look into a similar flooring to yours as I love the neat look and black with White

 

I'm using a floor paint called flow-Crete 2 pack, you shoot the floor with small metal balls then use a big magnet to pick it up and also hover the area then lay a glue down wich then you spread sand on then once its gone off sweep and hover it then add your colour on top it's used in big car parks.

 

i used standard floor paint and it peeled off like all the rest, then I went to wickes and got garage floor paint, after a year nothing has peeled or rubbed off.
