Good Garage Floor Tile that’s Cheap and Easy to Install

Posted on

The 10-year experiment is over and so it’s time to flaunt this inexpensive garage floor product to the world.

A question came in on our YouTube channel this morning:

Q.: “Almost 10 yrs have passed, how did it hold up mate?” A: It’s now 9 years and 2 months since I personally installed this tile on my garage floor and every tile is still firmly in place.

When you watch this video, you’ll see that I used the Nexus Brand tile which is a tile. made for interior use only. Nexus is not recommended for use on a garage floor if you’re going to park a car on it. HOWEVER:

You Can Park a Car on THIS Tile

The manufacturer at Nexus called me when they saw this video and they told me, “We can’t honor the warranty of your customers are going to park cars on this product.” So together we went to work customizing a tile that’s still very affordable (as of this publishing date our selling price is only 99¢ per square foot INCLUDING delivery).

So for the past 9 years we have been selling this product to homeowners and businesses around the country and with great feedback.

Airplane Hangar Flooring?

Well, we don’t really advertise the product for use on hangar floors, but at least 2 guys that I know of have used it and we’re getting ready to ship a new order to another customer next week.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garage Floor Tile

One of the most frequently asked questions about our garage floor tile is:

Q. How does it hold up to Hot Tires?
A. Since we have been selling this product, not a single customer has had an issue with hot tires ruining the tile.

Q. What should I use to protect the tile at the entrance of that garage? Is there a protective strip?

A. We don’t sell anything for that but some customers use a rubber or vinyl strip. You can find this at most hardware stores. Simply glue in down on top of the tile and the concrete.

Q. How can I replace tiles that may be damaged over time?

A. One of the best hings about the garage floor tiles is the fact that you can easily remove damaged tiles and replace them with tiles you have leftover from your original purchase. Simply warm up the tile(s) with a hair dryer or heat gun (uses for stripping paint) and the glue is quickly reactivated. Slip a putting knife under the tile and it comes off fairly easily. The drop your new tile in place! See How to Remove Floor Tile video below.

How to Remove Peel & Stick Floor Tile

Posted on

Watch a 5-minute video describing the process of removing peel and stick tile from your floor.

No special skills required.

This is a frequently-asked question we get from prospective customers and those researching the subject.

The adhesive on self adhesive flooring (well, at least the brand we sell) is very strong. Tiles can easily be repositioned if you don’t set them perfectly the first time. Within minutes, the adhesive grabs the surface and the bond gets stronger as the adhesive cures over the next several days.

The tile I removed in this video was installed in April, 2011 (and you can see the video n our YouTube Channel of this installation). All the tiles from the original installation are still firmly in place.

Benefits of Peel & Stick Floor Tile

One of the great benefits of self-sticking tile is that if a tile becomes damaged for any reason, such as the moving of furniture, or dropping something sharp or heavy, the tile can be removed and replaced. We always recommend our customers to order enough to have left over material. An extra box of tile is like a cheap “insurance policy.” With it,  you can keep your floor looking great almost indefinitely.

Removing Tile From My Garage Floor

In this video, I removed a single tile from my garage floor with ease using a heat gun designed to remove paint. I purchased this for about $20 from a hardware store. The only other tool needed was a 3″ putty knife/scraper. Almost zero pressure was needed once the heat was applied. After the tile was about half way removed the remainder peeled of easily and the tile ultimately came up in one piece with no additional effort needed. I replaced the tile with a new one.
