Many readers write in asking for recommendations on the best garage flooring. Because each need is different, the best flooring will likely differ between each user. Here are a few popular garage flooring options.
Epoxy coating an existing floor is a cost–effective option that is durable and will offer a life of up to 20 years. Epoxy coating with a urethane topcoat is easy to clean and maintain. Its light reflective surface brightens any garage. However, for effective service, the existing floor must be properly prepared to ensure the epoxy coating adheres correctly. Installation time can be substantially longer because the existing floor must dry fully after being prepared. The flooring too will have to dry after application of each coat of epoxy. All told, you might allow for 2–3 days for installation because of drying time.
Roll Out Mats are another option which can be more expensive than epoxy coating. These are easy to trim to size and install. Mats can be joined together by fusing the seams to form a waterproof joint. Roll Out Mats are durable, impervious to road salts and vehicle fluids and slip–resistant. Floor preparation is confined to sweeping out dust and debris before installation requiring negligible installation time.
Garage Tiles are one of the best option provided the budget permits. Garage tile flooring can be expensive. Interlocking PVC tiles that are virtually indestructible, offer water–tight seams and are easily installed. Typical installation time is 3–4 hours for 600 square feet. A reliable manufacturer will offer a warranty of up to 30 years. Garage tiles area available in a range of colors, styles and designs. A major advantage is that an individual tile can be easily replaced at any time should the need arise. The major disadvantage is in the high initial cost. Installation does not require much time or expertise.

We find that cleaning the concrete in your garage thoroughly will help you decide if you want or need to take it a step further or not. Sometimes cleaning is enough - sometimes it's not.
