Floor Tile for Garage Installation

FLOORING MADE EASY

WHAT ARE RUBBER MATS? Interlock floor tiles for a garage are the next generation of PVC polymer and vinyl flooring for improving the look and function of your commercial/residential garages, workshops, hospitals, warehouses, retail stores, commercial/home gyms, churches, and schools.

CAN YOU PARK YOUR CAR ON THE DESIGN? Most floor tiles are designed with anti-fatigue properties to withstand the weight of a car while remaining soft enough to protect your knees during that physical gym workout. The key is in patent designs that provide insulation as well as thermal and acoustic benefits. And with the many styles and colors available in the industry the creative ideas are limitless.

IS THERE ANY SPECIAL PREP WORK REQUIRED? The preparation for installing most floor tile is as simple as sweeping, mopping, and keeping your floor and flooring at 60° to 70° F for 24 to 48 hours prior to, and during installation. Interlocking floor tiles made from Flexible PVC or similar materials typically get harder to install in cold weather conditions.

WHAT TOOLS ARE NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION? No special tools or adhesives are required. The weight of the tile will keep your floor in from moving. A soft mallet is recommended to tap the tiles in place, and a utility knife is necessary for making detailed cuts around objects and entry points.

HOW DO YOU FINISH THE EDGES OF THE TILE? For that detailed look most companies like Norsk-Stor will provide edging that is compatible with the Multi-Flooring products they offer. Usually it is as simple as deciding on the color and amount of trim needed for the job.

WHAT ABOUT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE? Garage flooring tile provides the ultimate flexibility, allowing you to access and replace tiles in any part of the floor without having to pull up a section or the entire floor. Clean with a damp mop or cloth using mild soap/detergent and water. Most floor tiles are designed to resist most liquids and solvents for easy evaporation. Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent color fading. Only tiles with UV inhibitors are designated for outside use.

ARE THE TILES SAFE FOR CHILDREN? Yes, but always review all company codes, laws, and ratings for garage flooring systems used in play areas, playgrounds, and other recreational uses where safety and allergies come into play.

BE THE ENVY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BE A GARAGESTUD.
