Given that most people pay very little attention to their garages, installing garage flooring is very low on their list of priorities. However, if you want to turn your garage into a truly usable space you need to invest a little in it. By installing a few customised cabinets and laying a good quality floor, you can transform your garage into a bright airy and useful space.
Types of Garage Flooring
There are several types of garage flooring available. Most professional garages have either polished concrete or epoxy resin floors laid. These floors look great, however are relatively expensive to have lain in a small area such as the domestic garage. Therefore, most homeowners opt for an alternative form of flooring. The main types are porcelain tiles, interlocking PVC tiles or aluminium chequer plate.
All of these forms of flooring look great. They are also far easier to keep clean than traditional cement garage floors are. They are all designed to be nonslip and to resist the effects of corrosive liquids, which may be inadvertently spilt on them. All of these floors can be laid within a couple of hours and are easy to maintain. Plus, of course they all look great. Especially the aluminium chequer plate floor, which is not only durable and practical, but also gives you garage fantastic high-tech feel.
