Looking to renovate the flooring in your garage? Good idea!

A garage is a useful addition and can add up to tens of thousands of dollars worth of resale value to your home. So why not make the most out of this space for yourself and any future buyers?

Read our guide on garage flooring options and decide which one you should go for! 

Epoxy

While there are some similarities between epoxy paint and floor paint, they’re made of entirely different materials and truly give your floor a different look. 

Epoxy is a coating that contains a chemical that hardens when dry, making a durable base perfect for garages. This is a great option if you park your car in the garage, use it as a gym or shop space and want to have a smooth, slick, long-lasting finish. 

Real epoxy flooring is easy to wipe down and keep clean so it can also make your garage look more attractive. 

Don’t confuse epoxy flooring with epoxy paint. Epoxy paint is just floor paint with epoxy added. It will be more durable than regular floor paint, but not as lasting as a real epoxy coating. 

Tile

If you use your garage as an office or space where people spend a significant amount of time, tiling the floor might be the best option for you. 

You’ll want to select a durable tile that won’t crack, chip or peel over time. 

Vinyl is your best bet if you plan to go for the traditional tile look. You’ll want to select a dark color so you don’t see any markings after the garage has been used. 

A fun design option is to use vinyl tiles to make a black and white checkered floor pattern in their garage. 

People also opt for modular garage flooring to achieve this look. Racedeck garage flooring uses this method and offers a variety of styles to choose from. 

Mats 

The easiest and most cost-effective way to cover your garage floor is to use roll out mats made of vinyl or plastic. 

They’re a quick option to cover an unsightly concrete floor that has oil stains or cracks in it. 

These mats are typically easy to wipe down and there is no prep work that needs to be done to the existing floor in order to install them. 

There is a variety of mats on the market from a carpet finish to something more padded, depending on what you’ll be using the space for. Another pro is they can be easily removed if needed.
