Garage floor ideas

Hello,

We’ve just moved house and are looking for options on self-levelling products to use for a garage floor.

It’s a new build and has a basic tamped concrete floor. It has a few minor surface drying cracks in. It gets quite dusty and we’re looking for some kind of self-levelling/latex floor that could be suitable as a top surface and also that might be covered with pvc tiles in the future sometime.

The garage will be used for storage, especially children’s play things. We want to make sure that whatever’s used is safe for children to play on too.

We’ve asked around and so far ideas are Ardex K 301 or Weber 4610 Industry Top.

We don’t know much about the differences between these two products, and just wondering if anyone could help?

We’re open to ideas and would appreciate any tips if there’s anything better. There seems to be so many products available and we want something that would be able to last many years and not crack.

We’re also looking for a company who would be able to do this for us but we don’t really know what kind of trade this would be? We’ve seen specialist industrial floor companies who also do residential, but don’t know if this would be ott?

Thanks in advance

 

17mm gym rubber mats, best of both worlds unless you going be parking a car in there at some point then I wouldn't go the matting route.

I've done a fair few for new builds lately, all went for the gym rubber

 

Thanks. They sound good, do you know which company they’re from? We did think about PVC tiles too

 

Another possible option, if you are not going to use it for parking, is kingspan and a floating chipboard floor, it would insulate the floor for the kids to play on,it's possible to do yourself and for a single garage, would cost about £300

 

That could be good too, thanks. It won’t be used for cars.

This is the one that my customers have purchased. They all have newbuilds and their garages are 18m2 so can get a bit pricey but bulletproof.

As Paul has mentioned too about the kingspan/chipboard route, I've done a few of these aswell with some nice polyfloor contract vinyl on top.

 

I ripped out a pvc tile floor once before for a customer and swapped it for some sports vinyl flooring on a roll. It was around 10mm thick but was alot better than the hardness of the pvc tile

 

Murexin fma30 or as above

 

Excellent, thanks for the info. Will take a look

 

Thanks for the info, sports vinyl flooring like the type leisure centres etc might have?

 

Thanks, will take a look
