Case Study – North West Wales

Our fitters went to North West Wales to complete a garage makeover. The before and after shots of this fantastic garage show just how much of a difference Garageflex made. Now everything is tidied away, it is bright, clean and safe. Another great makeover!

Case Study – A Totally Unique Use for This Customer’s Garage!

We’ve seen a lot of different uses for a garage including storing the car, as an office or even a gym but this customer wanted it for a totally different purpose. Pinball machines. Our customer loves them and didn’t have space for them inside his house so decided to convert the garage to a Pinball dedicated zone and build a separate triple barn garage next door. What a great idea!

So whatever you want to use your garage for, Garageflex can help.

Ever Thought Of Applying Feng Shui To Your Car?

It may sound odd but if you do a lot of driving then applying these simple rules could make a real difference to the energy inside your car.

Our top tips to do this are :

Clear out the clutter: make sure you regularly clear the car of clutter in both the boot and the passenger area. This could mean taking out all those parking permits and sweet wrappers or just sorting out the kids toys taken into the car. Having an uncluttered car almost guarantees good feng shui!

Allow in fresh air: Regularly allow fresh air into the car rather than just using your air conditioning. Or if you prefer, use a car aromatherapy diffuser to help with different moods. Try peppermint and lemongrass to make you more energised or use peppermint to provide a more soothing and calming influence.

Bring in some good feng shui items: This could be anything from your favourite colours to rock crystals to images that make you feel good. Don’t hang things from your rear view mirror though as this could be distracting! Music of course is another positive factor to apply here and can dramatically change your mood so think about some feel good tunes to have around.

What’s the best car colour?: You really have to go with what you like as this will boost the enjoyment you get from the car. Another thing to think about is looking at your birth colour and choosing things to go in the car that apply to this. Or if you need some inspiration, try this link.

And one final tip: Don’t park your car facing your house as this can create a slightly attacking quality of energy. If possible, park the headlights facing away.

Ceiling Solutions

Some of the most popular items on our e-store are our ceiling solution products and so we thought we would talk about them in a little more detail to show you just how easy they are to fit and all the sorts of things they can be used for.

The major component of our ceiling systems is the PowerTrack from which all the hooks, racks and hangers are installed. The PowerTrack is mounted to the ceiling joists then the hooks, hangers and racks have twist connectors which allow quick mounting to the PowerTrack. There are no permanent fasteners required. So once you have this installed you can then add any of our ceiling accessories to suit your needs.

The GT7004 Overhead Storage Rack (4x4ft) allows you to use that valuable ceiling space. The rack provides 53 cubic feet of storage and has a capacity of 250lbs. With open mesh shelving for easy viewing of stored items, its an ideal place to store seasonal sports equipment or other bulky items. Available with or without PowerTrack from £173.00 including P&P.

The GT9000 D Hanger Hook features a hanger hook with a large, flat holding surface. Each hook is priced at just £18.00 but a package of 2 hooks with PowerTrack can be purchased from our e-store for just £53.18.

The GT9001 C Hanger Hook features a hanger hook with a large, rounded bottom which is very versatile for holding different shaped objects close to the ceiling. Available as a single hook at £18.00 or as a package with PowerTrack for £53.18.

So if you are ready to get items off the floor and onto the ceiling, why not take a look at our e-store to find out more.

Ever Wondered How A Resin Floor Gets Laid?

A resin floor is a thing of beauty and one that takes time to get right. It has to be laid by qualified craftsmen in a four part process which include preparation, a primer coat, the resin coating itself laid to a depth of 4mm and finally a sealant to give protection.

To see just how the resin coating is laid down click here or on the picture below to see a short slideshow on the laying of the third part of the process.

This type of resin floors are now available for the residential garage thanks to recent advances in garage floor coating technology. Our resin floors provide the highest quality finish you can buy and uses methacrylate resin which is the hardest wearing of all.

Our resin floors are available in the following colours.

Our resin floors must be installed by a trained person so please call us on 01491 636080 or email us info@garagetek.co.uk to find out more.
