Why live with a damp, dusty garage floor when it could be smart, safe and easy to clean

Its easy to keep living with a garage floor that creates dust, doesn’t look particularly attractive and is cold and damp underfoot. But you don’t have to.

Our inspiring photos of garages fitted out with our Floor Tiles show you just how good your floor could look. So you needn’t have to put up with just a standard garage floor.

We offer two types of flooring – Floor Tiles and a seamless Resin coating. Both offer good anti-slip properties, look great and make the cleaning much easier, plus they both remove the dust element making your garage a much nicer place to be.

Floor Tiles

Our PVC floor tiles each measure 500x500m meaning that 4 tiles cover one square metre of your garage floor. This makes it easy to work out how many tiles you need to cover your space, especially if you are ready to buy online.

Colours and Textures

The tiles come in a variety of colours so you can choose whatever combination works for you whether it be to complement other colours in your garage, create parking zones or just stand out from the crowd. We also offer two textures, smooth and raised disk. The smooth tiles have a sort of orange peel effect so are still good if you are looking for a non-slip option, where as the raised disk provide even greater resistance to slips and let the water naturally roll of the top of the disks.

Here are just some of the colour combinations you could choose.

Installation

There are two options when it comes to laying Floor Tiles in your garage. Either you can purchase them on our e-store to install yourself or you can ask us to come and lay them for you. To buy online we offer tiles at £8.85 per tile which includes VAT and delivery. If you wish to have us install them for you please ask us for a quote which will include our fitters time and travel costs, we do cover the whole of the UK.

Technical Specifications

Each tile measures 500x500mm and has a depth of around 7mm. They are made from PVC and are manufactured for use in industrial areas so can stand great forces such as forklifts etc. so are perfect for the garage environment.

What about staining?

Tyres can well cause staining to tiles, view our FAQs for more information. What we do suggest is that if you are going to park your car or bike in the garage then you opt for a darker colour of tile that will minimise the colour change.

If you have any questions about our Floor Tiles do let us know, we would be delighted to help or give you a quote.

New Case Study – New Build in Hertfordshire creates zones for workshop, tools and bikes

When it comes to a new build single garage thats filled with lawnmowers, bikes, tools and the rest of the clutter not allowed in the house, how do you get it into a usable state? The answer is to let Garageflex design and then install a storage solution that fits with your lifestyle to make it as easy as possible to find what you need, when you need it.

This customer based in Hertfordshire was in the middle of a big renovation on her house and had a new build single garage to house tools and bikes that didn’t have a place anywhere else. Being a new build, the garage was just bare concrete walls and was in need of some storage to help organise it.

Mrs R called Garageflex in to see what we could offer her. Our Design Consultant, Abi Leonard, went to see her to talk through the options. It was clear that the customer wanted to get everything off the floor and onto the walls and create some order. Abi created a design which solved her problems by adding in wall storage and creating zones such as the Tool Zone, Bike Zone, Workshop Zone. And adding in some ceiling storage for items not used as often.

Once our installers were on site, it took just two days to turn the garage into a storage space that is now organised and clutter free. Mrs R and her family can now find what they need rather than searching through the piles. And, as the areas are zoned, they know that any tool they need will be in the Tool Zone of their garage.
