If you’re looking to give your garage a makeover, flooring is often a big consideration. However, with various garage flooring options available, you may wonder which option is the best choice for your garage floor.
We are proud to offer two incredible options for your garage floor: a luxurious MMA resin coating and functional interlocking floor tiles. Each solution has its benefits, but when it comes to choosing which is best for you, it depends on what you’ll be looking to use your new garage for. Find out how the different styles differ and what they’re suitable for to help determine the best fit for you and your garage.
Resin Garage Flooring
What is an MMA Resin Floor? MMA, or Methyl Methacrylate, is a dual-system resin designed to create a durable and aesthetic coating for use over concrete.
Ideal for commercial use due to its durability and longevity, it’s also a great premium choice for the residential garage. Perfect for showing off your cars or creating a luxury workshop that your friends will envy.
Resin Garage Floor
Our garage resin floors are perfect for creating a beautiful, luxury option for your garage floor. With many different styles and colours, it creates a fantastic wall-to-wall visual that imbues your garage with a sense of luxury.
Resin Garage Floor Installation
Resin garage flooring has a rapid curing time so that the installation can be completed in as fast as one day. While still relatively quick, installing MMA resin flooring is more complex than tiles and can encounter issues without a trained professional. The concrete underneath may require treatment to ensure it is adequately flat before laying.
Resin Garage Floor Maintenance
MMA Resin floors are the more durable of the two options as they are highly resistant to a number of issues that commonly occur in garages that would negatively affect a typical concrete floor, such as chemical stains, scratches, tyre marks, heavy items and general wear and tear. It’s easy to keep the floor clean and tidy with just warm water and a mop or brush to sweep with.
Tiled Garage Flooring
Interlocking garage tiles are made of 7mm thick injection moulded PVC. They are a robust solution that offers a stylish finish, making them an excellent solution for both commercial and residential garages.
Tiles are perfect for home gyms due to their excellent wear characteristics, including; impact resistance, ability to withstand drops from heavy weights, and can hold heavy machinery, equipment and vehicles. However, we would always recommend using mats to protect any flooring you choose.
Garage Floor Tile Visuals
Available in various colours to provide a unique style to your garage floor, tiles can also be used to create patterns such as a checkerboard. You could use different coloured tiles throughout to create clearly divided sections in the garage for dedicated workspaces, parking spaces or storage.
Garage Floor Tile Installation
Their modular interlocking design means anyone can easily install them over an existing garage floor in a few hours. Installation is straightforward if you are competent in DIY, and you can buy them from our extensive e-store range. However, you can have it professionally installed if you prefer by our fitting team.
Garage Floor Tile Maintenance
The Floor Tiles that we install have a lifespan of over 20 years. We offer a ten-year warranty, and in the unlikely event that a tile is damaged, it can be easily lifted and replaced in a matter of minutes. Garage tiles are easily cleaned with a broom and then a mild cleaning detergent.
The verdict
In our opinion, MMA resin is a great choice for those who want a wow factor in their garage; however, it is more pricey as a result. This is why it’s the go-to for most private and commercial settings. However, if you want an affordable way to have a lovely garage floor in your home on a budget, getting a tiled floor can also be a great solution to transform the space.
At the end of the day, it’s up to you to determine which has the right benefits for you. No matter which you decide is best for your needs, Garageflex have you covered. With both MMA resin and tile options, get in touch and our expert team can assist in providing you with the garage floor you deserve.
