Garage floor

Watco for floor paint, specifically the chemi-coat rapid. It's not cheap, but it'll last forever in a domestic garage.

There's mine:

Still need to get a few more tiles to cut up and fully close in the right hand side, though, just haven't got round to it.

That's a shed not a garage. How are you meant to fit a car in there?!

To either said 'who uses garages for cars?': people that want a warm frost-free car as soon as they step out for work in the morning?

Which works well, unless you have a drive that will fit 2 cars in a line and have to swap them around each time, its quicker to scrape the cars clean than it is to swap them round.

really like the idea of those mats was thinking of sealing the concrete and painting the floor but think mats would would better for me the cars will hardly ever go in the garage only trouble is price to do a 270sqft garage aint gonna be cheap

i got my garage floor tiles from duramat, they do pre-packed kits for standard garage sizes. Think it came to £220 ish for all the tiles plus the edging ramps.

I had a look at a few costs after reading this thread as our floor paint is starting to peel and look unsightly. Unfortunately everything is expensive for an 85m2 garage, although I may see if I can find some super cheap porcelain (or more realistically rubber) tiles around as that would be a good option.
