Creating a home gym in your garage is a fantastic way to stay fit and save on gym memberships. However, transforming your garage into a functional and aesthetically pleasing workout space requires careful planning, especially when it comes to flooring. Interlocking floor tiles are an excellent choice for a home garage gym, offering a range of benefits that make them ideal for this purpose.
Durability: Our Interlocking floor tiles are made from high-quality PVC, which are designed to withstand heavy weights and high-impact activities. This makes them perfect for a gym environment where equipment is constantly being moved and used.
Ease of Installation: One of the standout features of interlocking floor tiles is their easy installation. The tiles snap together like puzzle pieces, which means you don’t need any special tools or adhesives to lay them down. This makes it a perfect DIY project that can be completed in a matter of hours or you can ask our professional team to install them for you.
Versatility Interlocking tiles are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, not just in home gyms. They can also be installed in playrooms, workshops, and other areas that require a durable and easy-to-clean flooring solution.
Comfort Unlike bare concrete floors, interlocking floor tiles provide a cushioned surface that is more comfortable to stand, walk, and exercise on. This cushioning helps reduce fatigue and the risk of injury, making your workouts safer and more enjoyable.
Easy Maintenance Keeping your gym clean is a breeze with interlocking tiles. They are resistant to stains and can be easily cleaned with a mop or vacuum. If a tile gets damaged, it can be replaced individually without having to redo the entire floor.
Colour Options Whether you want a bold, vibrant look or a more subdued, professional appearance, there’s a colour for you. You can even mix and match colours to create patterns or designate different workout zones.
Textures
Safety First: The cushioned surface of interlocking tiles reduces the risk of injuries from slips and falls. Additionally, their anti-fatigue properties make them ideal for long workout sessions.
Enhanced Aesthetics: With a range of colours and textures, you can create a visually appealing gym that motivates you to work out. A well-designed gym can also add value to your home.
Sound Insulation: Interlocking floor tiles provide sound insulation, which can be beneficial if you’re using heavy equipment or engaging in high-impact workouts. This helps in reducing noise levels, making your gym experience more pleasant.
Eco-Friendly Option: Our interlocking floor tiles are made from recycled materials, making them an environmentally friendly choice for your home gym.
Customisable Layouts: The modular nature of interlocking tiles means you can easily expand or reconfigure your gym layout as your needs change.
Interlocking floor tiles are a practical, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing flooring solution for any home garage gym. Their durability, ease of installation, and variety of styles make them a superior choice over traditional flooring options. By investing in high-quality interlocking tiles, you can create a safe, comfortable, and motivating workout environment right in your own home. So, why wait? Transform your garage into the ultimate home gym with interlocking floor tiles and enjoy the benefits for years to come.

With summer in full swing and all the garden furniture, bikes, and sporting gear in regular use, and mostly out of the garage, June is the perfect time to give your garage a much-needed makeover. Here are our top reasons why you should consider sorting and organising your garage this month, and the benefits it can bring.
With all your summer equipment out and about, and the garage emptier than the Winter months, now is the ideal time to reorganise the garage. By sorting through the clutter, you can create designated spaces for all your items. Using shelves, hooks, and cabinets, you can store tools, camping gear, and other essentials neatly, making them easily accessible when needed. This not only maximises your space but also saves you time searching for items.
An organised garage ensures that your equipment is stored safely and securely. Bikes hung on wall hooks, garden tools placed on racks, and sporting goods stored in baskets prevent damage from being left on the floor or piled up haphazardly. Proper storage extends the life of your items and keeps them in good condition.
A tidy garage reduces the risk of accidents. Tripping over clutter, stepping on sharp tools, or having items fall off shelves can be dangerous. Organising your garage mitigates these hazards, creating a safer environment for you and your family.
June is a great time to prepare your garage for the upcoming seasons. While summer items are in use, it’s a good opportunity to clean and store winter gear, such as skis, sledges, and holiday decorations. This proactive approach keeps everything in its place and makes the transition between seasons smoother.
An organised garage can significantly boost your home’s kerb appeal. If your garage is attached to your house or visible from the street, a tidy and well-organised space presents a positive image to neighbours and potential buyers. It reflects well on the overall upkeep of your home and can even add value to your property.
A clutter-free environment is conducive to productivity. Whether you use your garage as a workshop, a hobby space, or a home gym, organising it can help you make the most of your activities. Everything you need is at your fingertips, allowing you to work more efficiently and enjoy your hobbies without distractions.
Decluttering and organising your garage can also have a positive impact on your mental well-being. A clean, orderly space reduces stress and creates a sense of accomplishment. It’s a great way to start the summer with a fresh, positive outlook.
Transforming your Garage this June sets the stage for a more enjoyable and productive summer. With everything in its place, you can spend more time doing what you love and less time dealing with clutter. So, roll up your sleeves and transform your garage into a functional and efficient space that meets all your needs.

When it comes to storing bikes it’s all about space. Whether you have a large double, a small single or even no garage at all, we all want to make efficient use of the space we have.
So let’s delve into 5 very good reasons why you need to store your bikes on the garage wall and NOT just leaning up against the wall.
Here’s our top five reasons why you should invest in a new cycling storage solution:
1. Storing bikes on the garage wall takes up much less space than having them stacked up on the floor
2. You can get to each bike individually, whether that’s to get it out for a ride or just for servicing purposes
3. It prevents scratches and damage as the bikes are safely out of the way
4. Use the extra floor space for gym equipment, a bike workshop, storage racking or even a games room
5. Displaying bikes on the wall also creates a fantastic focal point
In our gallery below, we share some of the ways we have helped our customers to store their bikes on the wall and make the most of their valuable garage space. If you are interested in seeing how we can help you, fill in our form or call us on 01491 579975.

With the fine weather continuing, Spring has most definitely sprung in the UK and the garden beckons! But nothing dampens the gardening spirit more than a cluttered garage where finding your tools is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
A well-organised garage not only saves you time but also keeps your tools in good condition, extending their lifespan. So we’ve come up with the ultimate guide to organising your garage, ensuring that your gardening tools are always within easy reach!
Shelving is the cornerstone of any organised garage. It maximises your vertical space, freeing up the floor area for larger items or workspaces. Shelves are perfect for storing smaller tools, plant pots, and gardening supplies such as fertilisers and seeds.
Garageflex have a wide range of adjustable shelves to fit all your storage requirements. Whether that’s a heavy duty option to support heavy items such as pressure washers and compost or smaller open shelves for storing hand-tools and seed packets.
Benefits:
Racks are ideal for storing long-handled tools such as rakes, spades forks, and hoes. They prevent tools from becoming tangled and provide a neat, upright storage solution. Include wall-mounted racks to utilise your wall space and keep your tools off of the floor or try a Magnetic Rack that keeps smaller tools organised.
Benefits:
Hooks are in our opinion, a storage essential offering a versatile solution for hanging a variety of tools and accessories up on the wall. They are particularly useful for items that don’t fit neatly on shelves or racks. Opt for single, double or multi-use hooks for maximising your wall space or try a pegboard option for hand tools and gloves.
Benefits:
Baskets are great for corralling smaller items that might otherwise get lost. They keep your supplies grouped together and can be labelled for easy identification. In addition, they provide easy visibility and ventilation and are a great option for gloves, twine, scissors and seed packets.
Benefits:
By investing a bit of time and effort into organising your garage, you can reap the benefits over the Summer months. And come the Autumn and Winter, it’s easy to tidy items away until next Spring. Why not include a Gardening Corner as part of your new garage design? Speak with one of our expert team about planning your ideal space! Call us on 01491 579975 to book a complimentary appointment.
