Garage Tile Flooring Options


It seems that we’ve made improvements or created products for just about every room and surface in our homes.  It should come as no surprise, then, that your garage floor is no exception to this.  In fact, garage tiles have made the garage a very user-friendly place to be. Before we get too carried away talking about how nice the garage looks, let’s remember that we are still talking about a garage.

There was a time when the epoxy garage floor was only found in the higher end automotive showrooms, certain mechanic shops and the high end car collector’s showroom.  Now, these types of garage flooring options are available to the average homeowner.  Since you’re reading this article, you’re likely interested in this option for your own home.  What makes them so attractive is the way that they can protect the slab and make for cleaning and working in your garage that much easier.  If you go with the traditional garage epoxy flooring, you’ll need to wait some time before you can actually drive on it and give it any use.  This is not necessary with the tile style of flooring.

Another benefit of the tiles is that they can be easily replaced if one gets damaged.  Additionally, they can be laid in more interesting patterns and styles to give your garage an even more sporting look.  If you combine a floor like this with a new garage door, your car will feel more impressive overnight.  It doesn’t matter what you drive, if you park on this type of floor, you will feel like taking better care of it.  It is one of those psychological things in life.

The garage tiles can also resist chemical spills, fire and water as good as any epoxy style. Installation of the tiles can be accomplished with a simple peel and stick type or with an interlocking model.  Both are effective ways of creating your new floor.  The cost of the tiles ranges from ~$60 USD per case for 18” x 18” black tiles (6 per case) to closer to $100 USD per case, depending on colors and styles.  Check into these and see what type of garage tile flooring is best for your application.
