Tips for Choosing Garage Floor Mats |
|
|
|
|
Garage
floor mats are quick and affordable coverings that can be laid directly over
concrete flooring. No prep work is involved prior to laying the mats, unlike the
stripping and cleaning process necessary before refinishing a cracked and stained
concrete garage floor. Mats are usually made from high-grade rubber material or
polyvinyl that have patterns embedded on the surface of the mats to provide a
slip-free surface. Common designs include diamond, ribbed, coin or levant patterns.
What to Look for in a Garage Mat
| • |
For easy installation, choose garage
mat tiles that do no require application of adhesives |
| • |
Provides sufficient cushioning to
accommodate the length of time homeowners spend standing
in their garage (referred to as "anti-fatigue"
benefit) |
| • |
Provides adequate grooves in between
the interlocking mechanisms to allow dirt and liquids to
channel beneath the tiles |
| • |
Resists gasoline, oil and other chemical
spills |
| • |
Does not slide or become unlocked
from other tiles when pounded by heavy garage traffic |
| • |
Mats intended for heavy-duty use
should be 3/4 of an inch thick. Mats that are 1/2 inch thick
are fine to use in areas near doors or walkways. |
What to Look for in a Garage Mat
| • |
Garage
mats with slip-free designs will decrease the amount of soil tracked
into the home by actually "pulling" dirt and grime off shoe and
boot bottoms |
| • |
Covering your old concrete garage
floor with garage mats can prevent any further deterioration
of your floor by protecting it against damage caused by
cars, mowers, motorcycles and heavy machinery |
| • |
Interlocking mats are easy to remove
and taken outside where they can be cleaned with soap and
hose water |
| • |
Mats provide thermal insulation during
cold weather |
| • |
Roll-out
mats are quickly rolled up for easy removal or change of position. Some
are thin enough to allow homeowners to cut them into different sizes using
a utility knife |
| • |
Highly resistant to tearing, shrinking
and gouging |
When a garage is predominantly used as a place to park vehicles, having floors
protected by garage
mats work great to prevent accidental slipping due to muddy, wet or icy tires.
Instead of pulling into a slick driveway, applying the break and possibly sliding,
driving into a garage that has slip-resistant mats covering the floor can prevent
this from happening even in the worst winter weather conditions.
Garage mats are also available in a variety of colors that will
enhance your garage's overall appearance as well as promote the
safety level for all members of the family.
