Garage Flooring

What types of garage flooring do you offer?

We offer a range of garage flooring solutions to suit different applications, including:

  • Vented Interlocking Tiles
  • Premium Smooth PVC Tiles
  • Raised Disc PVC Tiles
  • Rubber Gym Flooring
  • Resin Flooring
  • ESD Flooring
  • Custom Logo Tiles

If you're unsure which garage flooring option is right for you, our team can help.

What is the best garage flooring for my needs?

There isn't one flooring solution that is best for every garage.

The right choice depends on how you use your garage, whether you're working on vehicles, storing equipment, creating a home gym or simply want to transform the space.

If you're unsure, get in touch with our team and we'll recommend the most suitable option.

What is the difference between vented, smooth PVC and raised disc garage floor tiles?

Vented tiles feature an open-grid design which allows air and liquids to pass beneath the flooring. They are particularly popular for garages, detailing areas and spaces where water may be present.

Smooth PVC tiles provide a clean, contemporary finish and are easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for garages, workshops and showrooms.

Raised Disc PVC tiles feature a circular patterned surface designed to provide additional grip and are particularly suited to workshops and more functional environments.

Can garage floor tiles be installed over an existing concrete floor?

Yes. Our interlocking garage floor tiles are designed to be installed over existing hard floors.

The floor should be reasonably sound, clean and free from loose debris. Significant damage or unevenness may require preparation before installation.

Do I need to prepare my garage floor before installing tiles?

The existing floor should be clean, dry and free from loose debris. 

For professional installations, our team will assess the condition of the floor and advise if any preparation is required.

Can I install garage floor tiles myself?

Yes. Our interlocking tile systems are designed to be suitable for DIY installation.

Most installations require basic tools such as a tape measure, rubber mallet and suitable cutting tool.

Do garage floor tiles need adhesive?

Our interlocking tiles are generally installed as a floating floor without adhesive.

However, in certain environments, particularly areas exposed to significant heat or direct sunlight, adhesive may be recommended. If you're unsure, speak to our team before installation.

Do I need ramps for my garage floor tiles?

Ramps aren't essential, but they provide a neat transition between the flooring and the surrounding surface.

They can be particularly useful at garage entrances and doorways where there is a difference in floor height.

Can I create a custom garage floor design?

Yes. Our modular garage flooring makes it easy to create custom colour combinations, borders and patterns.

If you have a particular design in mind, our team can help you work out the best layout.

Can I have a custom logo on my garage floor?

Yes. We offer custom logo tiles, allowing you to personalise your garage, workshop, showroom or commercial space.

How long do garage floor tiles last?

Our flooring is designed for long-term use and, depending on the product and application, can last for decades when correctly installed and maintained.

One of the advantages of modular garage flooring is that individual tiles can be replaced if they are damaged, rather than having to replace the entire floor.

Can garage floor tiles support heavy vehicles and equipment?

Yes. Our flooring is designed for garages, workshops and commercial environments and can withstand substantial loads.

Load capacity varies depending on the flooring product, so if you have particularly heavy vehicles, machinery or equipment, contact our team for advice on the most suitable option.

Resin Flooring

What is resin flooring?

Resin flooring is a seamless flooring system created by applying specialist resin coatings to a prepared concrete floor.

It provides a completely different look to interlocking garage tiles, with a smooth, seamless finish that can be customised with different colours, metallic effects and decorative flakes.

Is resin flooring suitable for garages?

Yes. resin flooring is an excellent option for garages, workshops, showrooms and other areas where you want a seamless, hard-wearing and easy-to-clean floor.

What types of resin flooring do you offer?

We offer a range of resin flooring options, including metallic and marble-effect resin systems as well as decorative flake finishes.

If you have a particular colour or design in mind, speak to our resin team about what can be achieved.

What is the difference between metallic resin and flake flooring?

Metallic resin creates a distinctive decorative finish with flowing colours and patterns, giving every floor a unique appearance.

Flake flooring uses coloured decorative flakes broadcast into the resin to create a textured, multi-coloured finish.

Both options can create a high-end garage floor, but the overall appearance is very different.

Can resin flooring be installed over an existing concrete floor?

In many cases, yes. However, resin flooring requires the existing substrate to be suitably prepared before installation.

Unlike interlocking tiles, resin is a bonded flooring system, so the condition of the concrete is particularly important.

Our team can assess the floor and advise on the preparation required.

Does resin flooring require preparation?

Yes. Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of a successful resin installation.

Depending on the condition of the existing floor, preparation may include mechanical preparation, cleaning, repairs, filling cracks or other remedial work before the resin system is applied.

How long does resin flooring take to install?

Resin flooring installation typically takes 2–5 days, depending on the size of the project, the condition of the existing floor and the finish selected.

We'll confirm the expected installation timeframe as part of your quotation.

Can I customise the colour of my resin floor?

Yes. Resin flooring offers a wide range of colour and design possibilities.

Our metallic systems can create unique marble and flowing effects, while flake systems are available in a variety of colour combinations.

Is resin flooring easy to clean?

Yes. The smooth, sealed surface can be swept, vacuumed and mopped as required.

How long does resin flooring last?

With the correct preparation, installation and maintenance, resin flooring is designed to provide a durable, long-lasting finish.

Does resin flooring come with a warranty?

Yes. Our resin flooring installations come with a 5-year warranty, giving you added peace of mind that your new floor is built to last.

Do you install resin garage flooring?

Yes. Our resin flooring is professionally installed by our team.

For resin projects, we recommend arranging a site survey so we can assess the existing floor and recommend the most suitable system.

Flooring Installation

Do you offer professional flooring installation?

Yes. We have our own professional installation team and offer flooring installation throughout the UK.

Do you offer free flooring surveys?

Yes. We offer free surveys for suitable flooring and garage makeover projects.

A survey allows us to assess your space, discuss your requirements and provide an accurate quotation.

How long does flooring installation take?

Installation times vary depending on the flooring type, size and complexity of the project.

Many domestic interlocking tile installations can be completed within a day, while larger projects or resin installations may require additional time.

We'll provide an estimated installation timeframe with your quotation.

Do I need to empty my garage before installation?

Ideally, the installation area should be clear before our team arrives.

If you have large, heavy or difficult-to-move items, please discuss this with us before your installation so we can advise on the best approach.

Can you install garage flooring around existing cabinets or equipment?

Yes, depending on the layout and the products involved.

Our team can discuss the best approach during your survey or when preparing your quotation.

Flooring Cleaning & Maintenance

How do I clean garage floor tiles?

Our flooring is designed to be easy to maintain.

Regular sweeping, vacuuming or mopping will keep most floors looking their best. For larger areas, suitable floor-cleaning machines can also be used.

Are garage floor tiles resistant to oil and chemicals?

Our PVC flooring is designed to withstand many of the oils, lubricants and chemicals commonly found in garages and workshops.

If you regularly work with particularly aggressive chemicals, we recommend contacting us before purchasing so we can advise on the most suitable flooring.

What happens if I damage a garage floor tile?

With modular interlocking flooring, individual tiles can be removed and replaced without having to replace the entire floor.

We recommend keeping a small number of spare tiles after installation for this reason.

Gym Flooring

What is the best flooring for a home gym?

It depends on how you use your gym.

Our rubber gym flooring is particularly suitable for weight training and areas where heavy equipment or weights may be dropped, thanks to its impact-absorbing properties.

PVC can also be suitable for lighter workouts, cardio areas and multi-purpose spaces.

Are rubber gym tiles suitable for dropped weights?

Yes. Our rubber gym flooring is designed to absorb impact and is a popular choice for home and commercial gyms.

Do you install gym flooring?

Yes. We offer professional installation for gym flooring and larger fitness projects.

Yes. We supply modular LED hexagon lighting systems in a range of configurations.

Our range includes standard, RGB and dimmable options, with custom layouts also available.

Can I install hexagon garage lights myself?

The systems are designed to be straightforward to assemble and install.

However, we recommend using a suitably qualified electrician for any electrical connections where required.

Do you install hexagon lighting?

Our standard hexagon lighting systems are supplied as supply-only products and are not installed by our flooring installation team.

An electrician should be used for the electrical connection.

Do I need adhesive?

All Garage Style interlocking tiles can be loose laid without adhesive, however we advise the use of adhesive in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight, such as shop fronts, atriums etc or in garages where the door will be left open during hot weather. 

In direct sunlight the tiles may expand causing warping or dislocation of the interlocking system. In the immediate area where there is a source of heat (eg – directly in front of a furnace or oven), it is advisable to apply adhesive to the tiles.
