Most of us do not make the best use of our garages. At best we use them to store our car and neatly pack away our tools and clutter from the home and at worst, they more resemble the local tip than a useful part of the home – but this really does not have to be the case and we should all be making much more of our garages.
Styling the garage and making it a pleasant place to be is something that we should all be thinking about doing. It is a source of additional space in the home which should be used in the best way possible and this means decorating it well starting with the floor.
Garage Flooring
If you want to make your garage more habitable and inviting, then changing the flooring is a good start. Most of us will have a simple, unattractive and cold concrete floor in out garage and this is not conducive to creating an inviting atmosphere which will encourage us to use the garage more. By installing a better class of floor, the garage can immediately be improved. Below are some popular types of garage flooring:
Floor Tiles
Floor tiles are a great choice because they are cheap, easy to install and very durable. One other advantage of having a tiled floor is that, if you spill oil or paint, for instance, then you can simply life the effected tiles and replace them, saving you money and hassle in the process.
PVC
PVC flooring is another excellent choice. It comes in many great styles which can really make a statement and can be wiped clean with little effort – something which is very useful in a garage setting.
Aluminium Chequer Plate
Aluminium chequer plate has a great finish and is extremely heavy duty. If you are going to be storing cars and other large items in the garage, then this is a great choice which will stand the test of time.
Epoxy Flooring
Finally, epoxy flooring is a great material for the garage. It consists of a tough resin which can be spread over the existing flooring to produce a durable and attractive garage floor.
