Garage Floor Protection with Interlocking Tile

Chances are you have put a lot of thought into the things you have purchased to store in your garage. Your cars, bicycles, tools, and recreation equipment all were considered and chosen because they were determined to be the best for your needs. Certainly a lot of careful thought went into the purchase and decoration of your house. However, chances are there has not been a lot of thought about the floor of your garage. The cold concrete floor is not only aesthetically inferior but also lacks the many benefits that one of the varieties of materials can provide. They provide noise dampening; make cleaning much easier; protection from spills and stains; improve the look of a neglected space. Whether you choose tiling, paint or roll on flooring you are not going to want to forget to improve this surface. The easiest and most cost effective method however, has got to be interlocking tile flooring.

Garage tile flooring comes in a simple do-it-yourself kit that avoids the need for an immaculately clean or brand new surface to glue down. New advances have created pieces that fit together snugly and seamlessly without the hassle of adhesives or professional installers. They are available for purchase at considerably reasonable prices at most home improvement stores. All that is needed is a free afternoon and a hammer. The tiles fit together making a water tight seal and are made from materials that are both fire and chemical resistant. You simply overlap the pieces and hammer them together to create a garage floor that suits your size and needs. Also, since the pieces just snap together you can easily move them or remove a single piece that gets damaged rather than needing to redo the whole floor. 

Additionally, maintenance is a breeze because of the nature of the materials. A simple mop and bucket will clean up most spills and dirt. For larger messes or for a thorough cleaning a hose and some detergent should do the job. 

Perhaps the greatest benefit will be to the protection of your garage and to your vehicle. The purpose of a place to park your car out of the elements is lost if you have to park it outside for a week while a contractor does an install or while industrial surface protecting paints dry. With interlocking squares you can do it yourself and you can do it in an afternoon with tools you already have on hand.
