my C7 is due to arrive this coming week. i am looking at the crummy garage floor and thinking it should be new also.

does anyone have an opinion on putting sheet vinyl on your garage floor. i do not want to paint or epoxy it.

the sheet vinyl flooring from G-floor and other similar suppliers claim it withstands hot tires and all sorts of things.

it comes in commercial 74 mil and industrial 84 mil thickness. i need opinions on that also, assuming enough people are on board with the product/concept at all.

thanks for your opinions and experiences.

Sorry can't offer any help with this. Check out a forum called Garage Journal. You'll probably get a better response over there.

You can probably find hours of reading material too

just wondering, why against epoxy?

Leave garage floor as is.

If anyone asks:

Go to Rubberflooringinc. I am in the process of building a new garage for the new baby and I am going to install one of these floors. I think you will like what you see. They have many pics and reviews for you to check out. Hope this helps!

LouLou, I've got a vinyl floor from Sam's Club that I absolutely love! I bought 2 sheets-it fits the garage perfectly. Underneath, I had cracks, divits and paint stains. This was quick and easy!

You should stain the cement.. Adds value to your house as well. Hope your c7 comes soon.

I have this MotorMat floor that is made up of 1 ft.sq plastic tiles. I have had this floor for 10 years and it still looks like this pic. I picked the tiles up from the factory in Salt Lake City at 9AM and finished the installation by 3PM the same day. They do not mark with hot tires and can be cleaned with water and a brush. I live where there is copius salt on the roads in the winter and the floor still is bright and colorful.

Epoxy isn't cheap but it is awesome. Here's my floor:

louloumax

a beautiful floor. just afraid i won't do it right or i'll be too lazy to prep it well.

car's not bad either

louloumax

worried about prep and following directions to do it right. lazy in my old age.

louloumax

thx, jim,
they certtainly make it look easy and not too expensive.
still listening to all opinions before deciding.

louloumax

floor goes nicely with the red cars! any problems with hot tires marring or destroying the vinyl?

I' am with you Louloumax, really don't feel like prepping the floors. Rolling out two of these mats on my floor sure seems easy but I'am concerned with hot tires and rolling a floor jack around.

louloumax

'tis another option i am considering. durability seems to be a-ok. cost/ sq ft is higher than the rolled stuff.
i appreciate everyones input and pix, too.

louloumax

i added it to my list of follow-ups. thx and thx for your service.

louloumax

too late. floor has remnants of gray paint along with oil and rust stains.

new car was transported by truck from BG to new boston rr in michigan on 19 dec. dealer called on 20 dec and it was on the train and in ohio.
he called me on 26 dec and said it was on the train in minnesota.
the destination is twin oaks, pa.
taking the long route, i guess. supposed to arrive on 31 dec.

i guess we need to research the 5 year guarantee. i haven't seen any reviews of the product over a long term. most just say how easy it is to unroll the vinyl. duh.

I ordered garage tiles which were easy to install and have a 12 year warranty.
