Garage Flooring Wanted
 
Im about to do a makeover on the garage and want to lay some of that click together flooring. Is it any good, and does anybody on here sell it? Of course I want the best deal cos its just the garage floor so will get all crapped up with oil and stuff.

click together flooring??
I got some click together foam type tile things from Argos, that I stand the bikes on...great for spills as you can mop it off really quick and it don't stain...sidestands dig in unless I put pucks under em though:rolleyes:

They're supposed to be for workshops anyways

other than that...repaint the garage floor??

Best stuff you can use , I've installed this in my bosses garage ,works great , cost a little more and you have a small window to work with but as long as you do all your prep work correctly you get real nice results.

It is very good, but not of much use as a workshop floor.

I used squashy foamy tiles from B+Q, the kind that are for utility rooms and kids play areas for about half my garage. They look nice, not too expensive and warm to sit on when working on stuff. However, you need to spread the load with a sheet of ply if putting the bike on them else they will distort.

I used rubber matting, 1/2" thick, just pull them out every year and hose down

That looks superb. I notice it's self levelling and fairly thick at 12mm. Is it okay to put onto slightly porous (unsealed) and rough surfaced concrete and does doing so result in a smooth finish?
