Garage floor covering

[Stu172cup]

Bit off An odd one.

New unit 6m x 4m and I want to cover the floor. Here's the thought bit. I can't paint or epoxy. (coz German)

What would you recommend, without spending a bazillion quid

You're not allowed to paint the floor?

If not then get some duramat. We put it down in the garage and carport a few years back because my grandad 'borrowed' some from work 😂 We also got the stuff you press into the grass to stop s**t sinking so now my dad has a front garden that you can park a JCB on for weeks and not worry about it falling over

I used some of the foam floor tiles really good for the price, nice to kneel on if you have to work on the car and insulates the floor as well

Swisstrax looks good but I bet it's pricey.

I’ve got some pvc mototile tiles down in my garage, they stained within two weeks of fitting from water etc off the car tyres.

they look nice but I expected them the last longer before staining.

If I was doing it again I’d go for some form of paint or a ceramic tile.

Horse stall mats where the best bang per buck when I turned the garage into a gym.

Search “GarageStyle” They do floor tiles that actually stand up to the job

Nope. I'm out in Germany, the units are brand spankers so I guess they want everything kept as reversible as possible.

Looked at these and similar ans was worried how "absorbant" they were

I don't think they are absorbent? Aren't they rubbery?

Hi, you got a link to any as sounds a good option

They are fine, water tends to stay on the surface so you can just mop any excess up.

Cheers for the input.

Ideally they need to be solid enough to roll and engine crane and engine stand on too....

You can buy cheap ex exhibition carpet tiles on Ebay, If they get dirty /damaged just replace, easy to take up as well which is one of your requirements.

That might be worth a look too
