What to Consider When Buying Garage Flooring

Although most people likely use their garages to park their vehicles, that space can have many uses. From storing seasonal items or tools to holding an entire workshop, your garage can serve whatever purpose you like. Depending on how you intend to use your garage, you'll want to consider the proper garage flooring.

Luckily, Sam's Club has plenty of options at exclusive members-only prices—whether you're looking for garage floor paint to put down a nice protective and aesthetically pleasing coat or you're looking for garage floor tiles to help you work on your car.

What type of garage flooring should I buy?

Before taking a look at garage flooring options, you should first determine what you're going to be doing in your garage. Is it just a place for you to park your car? Or are you someone who works on cars? Maybe you're into woodworking or other hobbies and need space for your projects. Or perhaps you're just someone who wants a lot of storage.

Knowing the purpose of your garage will help you decide what type of garage flooring to buy. At Sam's Club, we offer a wide variety of options including garage floor paint, mats, tiles and more.

What are the different types of garage flooring?

There are many different types of garage flooring available that you may mix and match. Sam's Club carries:

• Paint and sealers: When it comes to floor coating, garage floor paints and garage floor sealers are excellent choices. These protective coatings are applied to the concrete floor just like regular paint, but have been specially formulated to resist wear and tear. This makes the surface incredibly tough and resilient, and it's easy to DIY.
• Floor mats: Floor mats are similar to tiles and are used for high-traffic areas. You can put down a floor mat where you will either be walking routinely or over the area where you will be parking your vehicles. This is an easy way to help protect your garage floor while also giving you the opportunity to personalize your space.
• Tile flooring: Garage tiles are an excellent option when you need something more robust than the standard garage floor covering. We carry a number of tiles in different sizes and colors perfect for putting under workbenches or where you work on vehicles. Some have diamond-pattern, no-slip grips, while others are made to allow fluids to pass through. Interlocking tiles are easy to install.

What are the different sizes of garage flooring?

The sizes you select for garage flooring depends on the type you're purchasing. Garage floor tiles typically come in 12-inch squares that you can buy in packs to cover 48 square feet. There are also roll-out flooring options that come in 10-feet by 24-feet rolls. With garage flooring paint, you can usually cover about 250 square feet per paint kit.

See more in-depth sizing details on specific product pages. Before you pick out your garage flooring, measure your garage thoroughly so you can purchase the right amount. And if you have any questions, you can always ask for help at our Home Garage Center.

What do the different tread patterns on garage flooring do?

Some garage flooring options have special tread patterns to prevent slipping. Others are designed to allow fluids to pass through. Some tread patterns are just for aesthetics. Even garage paint often has a texture to prevent slips and falls due to leaking vehicle fluids. Pick the type of tread pattern based on what you're using your garage for.

What is garage flooring made of?

Garage flooring can be made of many things, from rubber from polyvinyl to metal and epoxy. The key is to pick the right garage flooring type and material to best suit your needs. Most garage flooring is made out of materials that are long-lasting, easy-to-clean, able to withstand extreme temperatures and household chemicals and hold large amounts of weight.

Do I need a drain in my garage flooring?

It's generally a good idea to put a drain in your garage floor. If you live in a place where you get a lot of rainfall or on a slope, you should put a drain in your garage floor. While you can probably survive without a drain if you live in a dry climate, experts recommend garage floor drains because every garage has areas that pools liquid.

While you can DIY a garage drain tile, actually installing a drain is another project you want to consult a professional.

What type of edge trim do I need for my garage flooring?

The type of edge trim you need for your garage flooring depends on the type of garage flooring you're going to install. If you're simply painting your garage floor, you don't need to worry about edge trims. If you're putting down tiles or mats, you'll want the right edge trim so every inch of your garage is even and sturdy.

At Sam's Club, we carry polyvinyl and interlocking loop edge trims you can use to seamlessly seal off your new flooring.
