Hey guys, Looking to sort out the garage over the winter, with a decent floor and rolling toolboxes etc. It's currently got a painted floor, but it's not the smoothest, would you say lay another slim of concrete over the top, a nice self levelling one, or a roll mat of vinyl, or potentially the floor tiles you can get, anything considered, including potential racking solutions
Check out the Ad that popped up at the bottom of your post . Seriously though there are a whole range of avenues you could go down depending on what kind of work you’re doing in garage and how durable it has to be, also thinking about oil spillage etc. It’s something I’ve also thought about but never got round to researching. In addition to what you’ve already mentioned I think there is a tough resin coating for flooring that may be worth having a look at. Will be interesting to see what others have done.
IF I had a garage, I would be going the self-levelling acrylic or tough surface in a light colour so that when we drop a washer or damn push pin we can easily find it. Also very easy to maintain.
I had a search around other forums like Pistonheads, and they were recommending a diamond floor grinder hire, would give a super level finish to be expoxy painted. With the extra layer of self levelling concrete it would need to be around 100-150mm deep to avoid cracking.. Not a fan of that one anymore
Sounds like overkill really, unless you'll be entering the annual Garage Floor contest. Just bung a load of self leveller down, and paint it a nice light grey colour.
Many products available. Most important to calculate your area correctly so you don't run short. https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonse...cPwgtWQnkgIco0HcDdhoCTGoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Yeah, just the jollop @nigelrb references; there's plenty about. Leaves a great finish too, my Dad used it in his garage (19'x20') and it came out really nice.
Will be looking into this myself when the extension is near completion. I don't think you need to go down the road of a Diamond floor grinder..... There'll be shite everywhere! Bit of self leveller and paint, job done!
