Garage/Workshop flooring

[RichD1]

Just refurbishing my existing garage with a new insulated roller door. Then going to put in a scissor lift and build up around it with 3x2 treated flooring joists topped with ply flooring with 80mm insulation under.

I'm then looking for some floor covering to finish it all off.

Garage is about 26 sq mtrs so the popular PVC interlocking tiles are around £25 sq. mtr. so will cost about £650, a tad more than I wanted to spend.

I've seen this PVC sheet on the CostCo website and wondered how good it was?

Bit concerned that it does not recommend sticking down.

Anyone used it?

Have you got the interlocking tiles or the garage floor set?

The interlocking will cost me over £650, the garage floor set only £220 but it's only available in black. One review states that it is not designed to take the weight of a car!

Thanks for the link to the flooring thread. Quite a few solutions but like one contributor said "nothing quite fits the bill"

The horse mat solution still works out at just over £18 per sq mtr. or almost £500 for my floor.

Would still like to hear from anyone who has used the Versaroll from Costco

Putting it over a raised plywood flooring so should be reasonably flat.

Did you have to do any joins? If so did you stick them together on the underside?

Would applying direct heater from a fan heater or similar help to iron out the wrinkles?

How robust do you think it will be.

Hi Jim, thanks for the advice, at the price, £210 for my 25 sq mtr garage/workshop, sounds like it can't be beaten.

At £36 sq mtr it ought to be the best.

At circa £1000 to do my garage it's far too expensive!!!

I went with carpet tiles off eBay in the end, cost me £100 for 27 sq mtrs. for commercial quality Heuga tiles.

Was about to order commercial vinyl flooring tiles but the process to fit them (ensuring the plywood was flat, filling all voids and screw heads and then priming) was just too complex.

The carpet tiles been down a couple of months now and I'm really pleased. I was worried that the tiles would move when lowering the car off the scissor lift but I have made up some slip boards to go under each wheel to allow the suspension to compress and have had no problems.

As skydiver says 'they are much warmer to work on than concrete.

I used double sided carpet tape.
