Just about every garage floor tile is either the peel & stick or self adhesive type or they are the interlocking type. Since many manufacturers & resellers of garage floor tiles do not make this clear people can sometimes get confused. Let’s go over peel & stick tile & give you a better understanding of whether or not it’s right for your garage floors.
Installing Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tile
The installation for peel & stick garage floor tiles is as straightforward as it obvious. You peel the backing off then you stick them too the concrete garage floor. Of course before you even begin the floor must be thoroughly cleaned. After all you wouldn’t want your new tiles sticking to something other than the concrete like say dust. In fact with the exception of an epoxy garage floor coating no other solution takes as much cleaning to get right. One advantage over epoxy garage floor coatings though is that you can take as long as you like to complete the install as long as you re-clean the floor before you begin sticking things to it again. Of course as always follow the directions with your particular product.
Buying Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tile
Although there are many places that you can buy this garage floor covering peel & 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 & selection may be limited. As such prices are all over the place & 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 & 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.
Is Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tile As Durable As Other Coverings?
Tile is probably the strongest of garage floor coverings. As they actually adhere to concrete peel & stick tiles are even more rigid than many other coverings. Unlike some other options they can’t move so they’re not as susceptible to damage by rubbing against the concrete like garage floor mats. When shopping though remember that a lot of the strength of garage floor tiles depend on their makeup so be sure to think about what you’re planning to do with your garage when choosing.
Mobility Of Peel And Stick Garage Floor Tiles
Peel & 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 & 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
