Between so many popular options like epoxy, ceramic, rolled mats, and interlocking tiles, the best choice isn’t always a clear one. The right flooring option depends on how you choose to use your garage. Turning your garage into a home gym will call for a different flooring than if you want the space to be ideal for auto-repairs. For a surface that is versatile and performs well across the board, garage flooring tiles are a good option to explore first.

Do-It-Yourself
Installing a garage floor cover floor puts total control of the project into your hands. You don’t have to worry about a costly or time-consuming installation because you lay the garage flooring tiles down yourself.
Unlike ceramic or linoleum, most garage flooring tiles lock together without the need of adhesives like grout. Because of this, many people choose a floating installation for their tile garage flooring, with no adhesive connecting the tiles to the sub-floor. Interlocking garage tiles can connect like puzzle pieces or with use of connector pins, depending on the type of tiles that you use. Once connected, the tiles form the illusion of a single solid piece that serves as your garage floor cover. This makes garage tiles perfect for temporary installations, as the flooring can be removed easily.
If your heart is set on a super secure, permanent flooring, you can install the garage flooring tiles with double-sided carpet tape. You can also use polyurethane-based adhesive for even more stability, but you should talk to a product specialist if that is a route you are considering. In most situations, a floating floor works great.
Easily Removed
As we already mentioned, removing a floating garage floor cover is just as easy as installing it, thanks to the lack of adhesive. This makes maintaining your garage floors a breeze.
Sometimes one area of your tile garage flooring will wear down faster than the rest. This is common in fitness rooms and in the area that sits beneath your car. Instead of upheaving the entire flooring, you can remove the garage flooring tiles that are worn down or damaged and replace them individually. This saves a ton of time, money, and effort that would otherwise be spent replacing your entire floor.
This feature is great for renters and other temporary installations. The garage tiles act as a protective barrier, absorbing physical damage and spreading it evenly across the surface. The garage floor cover takes the bulk of the abuse, leaving the floor below unaffected. When it’s time to move, you won’t have to worry about costly concrete repairs; simply pick up your garage flooring tiles and take them with you.

Safeguard Your Sub-floor
Concrete and other traditional garage floors can be extremely sensitive, especially if you want to treat the garage like additional room. Installing a garage floor cover can protect your base-floors from the impacts and abrasions of heavy equipment, as well as the long-term effects of daily foot traffic.
Garage flooring tiles are usually made of plastic, PVC, or rubber materials. Though plastic garage tiles produce a clean aesthetic, they are very hard and can damage your base-floors from heavy impacts. Rubber, on the other hand, absorbs movement to provide a more forgiving modular garage surface. For home gyms and family-friendly garages, rubber garage floors are the best choice to preserve your base-floor and maintain a comfortable walking surface.
Vinyl or PVC garage flooring tiles are the most popular material because they offer the best qualities of both plastic and rubber modular garage tiles. Vinyl is usually thinner than rubber, but the material is still able to absorb some of the movement caused by abrasions, walking, and heavy machinery. Vinyl is also non-permeable and has a mild chemical resistance, making it a great protective surface to park your car over. The vinyl garage flooring tiles may retain stains or damage from certain substances, but it will prevent that damage from ever reaching your base-floors.

Most types of tile garage flooring are completely waterproof and resistant to the development of mildew and mold.
