garage flooring

Lube

I have a integral garage that houses washing machine/tumble, freezer and storage shelving the type that stands on floor, not fasten to wall

The concrete floor is very cold, I got around 30% already fitted with carpet tiles then finished off at at end where the rest is concrete with some wooden trim.

I would like the rest done with some flooring to make it slightly warmer to feel and tidy it up.

I not sure about using carpet tiles again as last time I fitted them had a nasty cut with cutting them. Cant afford expert fitter

I did think about these

But I dont think they take the weight of a freezer/shelving. Any other solutions?

Thanks

If they can take the weight of gym equipment, then they should be ok.

Go for it, just watch your hands when cutting them to fit round the edges.

That would work very well. I have seen similar products used in workshops and they do stand up very well.

I would suggest you may find this is more difficult to cut than carpet tiles.

We recently had some vinyl laid in my MiL kitchen and bathroom. That cost me £60 and IMHO money well spent. If you ask arround you ought to be able to find a competent fitter in your area.

Thanks for your help. I am just worried in case I have to move something heavy it may take a lump out of the floor tile as shown above

I use that garage a lot for storage etc it never be idea unless I get it turned into a proper room but my kitchen is so small I need somewhere to store appliances. Its a fairly new garage but single skinned brick and up and over door

last one i did, i did it all for free. a company was refurbishing the offices. i got all the old carpet tiles out of the skip. nice two color (light/dark) blue ones. industrial quality ones too.

easy to cut with a new stanley blade. use a straight edge and keep fingers away!
