A new garage floor is the single biggest upgrade you can make to transform your garage from a neglected storage space into a room you're proud of. Here's what a garage makeover looks like and how to plan yours.

The Problem With Most Garages

Be honest — is your garage just a dumping ground? Stained concrete floor, tools everywhere, boxes piled high? You're not alone. Most UK garages start life as car storage but quickly become the house's overflow room. The floor takes the worst of it: oil stains, paint spills, cracks, and dust.

What a New Floor Changes

It might sound dramatic, but a new floor changes everything. When the floor looks clean and professional, you naturally want the rest of the garage to match. Suddenly you're organising tools, adding shelving, and actually parking your car inside. It's the domino effect of home improvement.

Planning Your Garage Makeover

1. Choose Your Colour Scheme

Our tiles come in a range of colours. The most popular garage combinations are:

• Classic grey — clean, neutral, hides dirt well
• Dark grey + light grey chequerboard — the showroom look
• Black + yellow border — industrial, high-visibility
• All black — sleek and modern

2. Measure Your Space

Measure the length and width of your garage. Multiply to get the area in m². Add 5% for cuts. Our tiles are 500mm × 500mm (0.25m² each), so divide your total area by 0.25 to get the number of tiles needed.

3. Don't Forget the Edges

Ramp edges along the garage door opening give a professional, trip-free finish. They're the detail that makes the difference between "DIY" and "showroom."

4. Install in a Day

Most single garages take 2–3 hours. Double garages take 4–5 hours. No adhesive, no drying time — you can drive on it immediately.
