Rib Pattern Garage Flooring

Garage Flooring Rolls have a lot of surface contact with the floor below and tend to stay in place quite well, even when driven over frequently and even with larger vehicles.  For residential and light commercial use, the need for glue or tape is rarely necessary.  Rain water and snow will not make the matting slide around any more than dry conditions.

These garage floor rolls are manufactured from pure, commercial-grade, 100% polyvinyl and will not absorb liquids, even if they're on the mat for an extended period and not cleaned or dried.  Should you want to remove the moisture (though not at all necessary) a dry cloth, mop or rag will do the trick!

Although minimal and only occurring with more extreme temperature swings, it is possible for the matting to slightly expand when the matting gets rather warm and contract just a bit when the temperature drops a lot.  Temperature fluctuation won't damage or deteriorate the matting in any way.  However, if installing wall-to-wall, it's a good idea to leave a slight gap (about 1/4" on each side) to allow for this phenomenon.

Although incredibly strong, garage flooring rolls can easily be cut to fit with a utility (razor) knife with a sharp blade.  It's best to mark the matting with a pencil (and a straight edge or ruler) and then cut along the line for a perfect fit.  Cutting the garage matting will not damage or deteriorate the remaining material.

In addition to a releasable adhesive, we also carry a heavy-duty, double-sided Garage Floor Mat Seaming Tape that will secure the matting in place but not damage or stain the floor below.

These garage flooring rolls can be safely used over a garage floor that has small imperfections like those mentioned above.  Small cracks, pits and scrapes are common to most garage floors and these mats can certainly accommodate those situations.  For more substantial gouges or deeper pits that could telegraph through the matting, it would be best to fill them in before laying down the garage flooring since although the matting would be fine for a time, eventually the unevenness could stretch or tear the matting if driven over a great deal.

These garage roll mats can easily be cut with a utility knife.  After laying out the mat, mark the area needing to be removed and then trace the same mark with the knife.  Once removed, the matting will still continue to function properly without premature deterioration.

No.  Salts of any kind are not a problem for the garage matting and do not need to be removed or addressed any differently than other debris.

Roll-out garage flooring is designed for heavy-duty use and can withstand a wide variety of applications including use in a trailer (including a horse trailer) and under tractors.  These rolls are stain, mildew and fade resistant, have a textured surface for enhanced traction and can easily be cut down to fit the contours of the floor of the trailer.  (Please note that we recommend gluing the garage flooring down for use in any trailer to ensure the matting stays securely in place).

There are a few options for seaming two (or more) garage mats.  The first and easiest option is to simply overlap one roll onto another.  Take one roll and overlay 3-6" on top of the second roll.  Another way to connect two rolls is to use the Garage Floor Matting Center Connectors. Slide each roll into one end of the connector which grabs and holds onto the matting on both sides. Lastly, the matting can be seamed using the Garage Floor Mat Seaming Tape. This option gives the cleanest looking seam. After cleaning the edge of the first mat, roll it back and attach the double-sided tape to the underside, leaving roughly half of it exposed and protruding from the edge. After putting the first mat on the floor lift the second roll, clean the back edge and set it so that it lines up with the edge of the first roll. Although a little more work, this gives a smooth, seamless look with the tape being hidden from view underneath both mats.

Roll-out Rib Pattern flooring weighs about 0.6 Lbs per square foot - sturdy enough for constant tire traffic but easy enough to manipulate during installation.
