I'm thinking about a new flooring for my garage, any recommendations for a click together tile system or maybe the cheaper option of rubber matting on a roll?
Its a double garage approx 16' x 18'
The flooring needs to durable as we a have a car coming and going daily.
What do you use?
Cheers
Steve

The foam tiles are too soft for bike weight - let alone car tyre pressure.
Paint is fine, but bike tres being softer compound than car"s - tend to lift the paint.
I went for plastic rolls of checker plate style covering from Costco.

i was thinking more something like this

or maybe this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Garage-Rubber ... 1477098024
the floor was painted 15 years ago right after it was laid, it has NOT worn well, I should have done an epoxy finish at the time but ...well I didn't and I regret it now

Hello,
I have covered my garage floor in a product very much like the Durmat product but it came from Halfrauds online eBay user at £10 for 10 sheets and it was a good job done about a year ago.
As long as you place a good size (to spread the load) plate under the stands then you should be ok. I have a hydraulic bike ramp with a thick rubber mat under it on top of the interlocking mats and all good so far. I would imagine if you just used the stand straight onto them then you would have issues but then they can be lifted as a single piece and just replaced if need be.
At my time of life the knees appreciate something a little more forgiving than painted concrete so I would go for it. You can trim to size and using suitable glue stick down the leading edges that might otherwise be a trip hazard
Hope that helps?
Best regards,
David

Thanks for all the replies, I think I'm going to go for a click together vinyl tile system, but I will get to costco to checkout Al's suggestion first.

Thanks Al, I just need to find out if any of my mates still have a costco card and I'll pop along and take a look. What is the colour like for hiding pingfuckits?
