Thinking About Using Self-Adhesive Garage Floor Tile?
Every major brand of garage floor tile is one of two types: interlocking, or peel and stick (self adhesive). This confuses some people since resellers and manufacturers of garage floor tiles aren't always clear on the differences. We'll take a quick look at the peel and stick type tile for garage floors, so that you can decide if it will be right for you.
How Hard Is It To Install Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tile?
Peel and stick garage floor tiles are simple, if not easy, to install. You simply stick them to your concrete garage floor after peeling their backings off. Before you start, though, you have to clean the floor. If you don't, your nice new tiles will end up sticking to dust or dirt instead of concrete. Take note that, besides an epoxy garage floor coating, there is no other flooring solution that takes more cleaning. On big advantage on epoxy garage floor coatings is the ability to stop and resume the install later, just so long as the floor is re-cleaned before you start again. When it comes to cleaning and installing, be sure to read the directions for your particular tiles.
Peel And Stick Tile Is Not Terribly Expensive, But It Can Be Hard To Find
Although there are many places that you can buy this garage floor covering, peel and stick tile seems to be a bit sparse when it comes to the more traditional places to purchase flooring or home improvement supplies, such as hardware stores. They exist, but they can sometimes be hard to find, and selection may be limited. As such, prices are all over the place, and it seems there's not particular size of garage that a set will cover. I've found everything from 40 square foot to 66 square foot, and prices ranging from $112 to well over $300. Be careful, before you buy, that your kit will include enough garage floor tile to at least cover your garage.
Durability Of Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tile
Of all of the various garage floor coverings, tile is probably the most durable. Because they stick to the concrete, these tiles have an extra bid of rigidity that other coverings lack. Also, since they do not move about, they don't become damaged by friction as quickly as garage floor mats. Keep in mind, though, that much of the durability of garage floor tiles will depend on what they are made of, so consider what you plan to do in your garage before choosing.
Why Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tiles May Not Be Your Best Option
Peel and stick tiles are immobile. I only bring this up because snap together tiles, as well as a garage floor mat, can be moved around when needed. Because of this, if you are only intending on covering a portion of your floor, I would definitely suggest going the route of something that you can move. The final price will likely be less, and you may as well get all of the features that you can. Also, when you're ready to cover your entire garage floor, you'll already have a mat to protect your nice new garage flooring! - 21393
