Options and Requirement For Rubber Tile For Garage

The garage is not only the home of the car but often its owner on weekends as well. This is a car and locksmith workshop, a circle of interest, and a place for communication between car owners, especially when the garage is located at a sufficient distance from the house.

Therefore, car owners have high requirements for the surface of the garage floor: the coating must be resistant to temperature and chemical influences, easy to maintain and repair, moisture resistant, aesthetically attractive, comfortable, etc.

Cleanliness and tidiness are also important for owners of garages adjacent to the house – usually, such garages have a door leading directly to the house, and it is important not to bring dust and dirt from the wheels home.

What mats can meet such requirements?

• Untreated concrete is very dusty
• Hygroscopicity negatively affects its durability: at low temperatures, the accumulated moisture expands – as a result, cracks, and delaminations appear
• In addition, hygroscopicity increases the overall humidity inside the garage, which is unfavorable for the car, auto parts, and other utensils.
• Concrete is not resistant to mechanical damage: a heavy object falling on the floor causes chips
• Gasoline or oil stains leave unattractive marks

As a result, the garage eventually takes on the appearance of a neglected barn. Impregnation of the floor is also not always able to solve many problems.

2 options are most common for garage floor tiles:

Rubber square or rectangular modules or piece rubber tiles of various form factors. The rubber modular floor looks like rubber technical mats in dark colors (usually black, gray, blue, etc.), has a denser surface structure, is made in the form of a sheet, which is then cut into separate modules. Rubber tiles are more attractive in terms of design, and can have different degrees of elasticity, different shapes, and colors.

• “Anti-slip” effect – especially important when parking in winter
• Durability – withstands high loads
• Easy installation – any motorist can master
• Ease of maintenance and repair – easy to maintain and clean; in case of damage, it is enough to replace the tile/module
• Aesthetics – the very appearance of the rubber tile coating gives the garage a respectable and orderly look and speaks of its grooming and care.

Therefore, more and more car owners are inclined to reconstruct the floor in the garage and replace it with modern, comfortable, and environmentally friendly rubber mats.
