Garage floor covering?

[griff2be]

Does anyone know where I can get rubber/pvc floor covering from? I want to put something over the concrete which is in fairly poor condition. A rubber/plastic tile or roll seems ideal - about 6mm or more thick.

DURA (as in the fitted garage furniture people) do inter-locking pvc tiles, but at £6.95 + VAT per tile (50cm x 50cm) - it would be cheaper to put down some finest wilton.

Machine Mart also do some, but only rolls in 1m widths.

My intial Google seacrh didn't throw up much...

Thanks guys

I found a Dairy farmer who was upgrading their cowsheds and got a load of "Cow Mats" they are about 6 foot by 4 foot and 10mm thick, paid about £2 each.

I use a cut off of thick kitchen linoleum which has proved excellent (and has a nice pattern)

You can get special paint for using on concrete floors (ask at your local Partco). Alternatively you might consider that brush-on waterproof coating designed for flat roofs. Ask your local builders' merchant.

I like the look of this stuff if you're prepared to apply it yourself. Not cheap but looks like you'd only need to do it once.

If any one out there has used this I'd be interested in hearing how easy it was.

My main problem is going to be clearing the floor to paint it in the first place - especially since I've just bought another Alfa.....

The problem I have is that some parts of the concrete floor have become badly pitted - leavibng a surface that the trolley jack wheels can't roll over properly. I was therefore after something that would sit over the top of this, as I don't fancy trying to fill and level the floor. If it weren't for this I'd just paint the thing!

Anything you put over the top of the floor such a rubber Matting will probably bed down into the ruts over time.
Levelling using self levelling screed fom Wickes would probably be your best option, its in-expensive and easy (does exactly what it says on the tin )

A quick and semi permanent solution is 8' x 4' sheets of hardboard. Only cost a few quid each, tape the edges together with brown parcel tape, job done. If there's a lot of moisture comning through the floor, lay a sheet of damp proof membrane down first.
