Showroom-Style Garage Project

Posted on

Wow! We’ve seen a lot of great projects from our friends and customers here at Mazer Wholesale, but this one is certainly one of our favorites. Thanks to Vaughn and Tamy C. for sharing these pictures of the project from start to finish.

The project used Mazer Wholesale’s 12″ black and white peel-and-stick floor tiles (Click here for to see these tiles – and more – on our online catalog.) Lots of customer have been using them for racetrack-style / checkered flag floor designs… but there are so many other ways the tiles can be arranged. (Click here for more customer project pictures.)

Check out the transformation of the space – from average (and yes, large) garage space to a classic car showroom… and more!

Getting started: As you can see, you don’t need to do a lot of special preparation on the existing floor. This is a regular concrete floor that’s been thoroughly swept and cleaned. Pressure washing is nice, but NOT required.

Installation going nicely! The tiles are 12″x12″, so they’re easy to position. Remember, these are “peel and stick” tiles, so there’s no messing around with paint-on glues or other adhesives.

Almost done! Tiles are shipped in packs of 10. That’s 120 square feet per pack, with half black and half white tiles in each pack. Customers can definitely install these themselves – no need to hire an expensive installation team. Peel and stick as needed, and use a simple razor knife to cut tiles as needed to finish the job, or fit around edges.

Done! Here’s a few images of the finished project…and the car collection, of course!

But that’s not all! Along with the garage floor, the customer also went full “Happy Days” with a soda fountain-style booth and jukebox! Can’t wait to see the milkshake menu!

Our collection includes not only garage and other floor tiles, but also peel-and-stick tiles that look like wood, granite, marble and lots more.

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.

More videos featuring floor tile installation and preparation advice are on this website, our YouTube Channel on Facebook , and on Pinterest.

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.

Garage Flooring Idea

I installed the black and white checkerboard peel and stick floor tile in my garage in April of 2011. As of this post which is created on December 24th 2015 the floor still looks great. Every tile is still firmly in place.

Peel & Stick Garage Flooring Tile

I live in New Jersey. In New Jersey we get hot summers consistently in the 80 to 90 degree range. During heat waves it’s not uncommon to go over 100 degrees. Humidity gets very high. In winter the average temperatures are in the 30’s and 40’s. It’s not unusual for cold snaps to bring temperatures down into the single digits. My point is that the extreme temperatures have not affected the adhesion of the flooring. See our patterns and prices on garage floor tile, click here.

The video below is me explaining and talking about the floor tile installation in progress on that day in April 2011. Mine is only a one car garage 90% of the area was installed in about 2 hours. To my recollection it took about another 3 hours or maybe a little more too cut into small pieces around the outside edges around the doorways and walls. I am NOT a handyman. In fact the only reason I really install the tile on the floor in my garage is because for years prior to that installation many people asked me if the tile would work on a cement garage floor.

I do not park my car in my garage because it’s too small. My garage is just for the kids bicycles my golf clubs the trash cans and some other typical household items we need to keep in storage.

A Cheap Garage Flooring Solution You Can Do Yourself

See our patterns and prices on garage floor tile, click here.

With the manufacturer we have developed a product which is almost identical to the tile I used on my garage floor. It’s a just a little but more money but is warrantied to park a car on it. We have been selling it with much success for several years. Customers constantly send us their installation photos and success stories.

So many of our customers come because they have tried other flooring solutions in their garage such as epoxy paint or other more expensive tile products which fail to hold up or are difficult to keep clean. The appeal of the peel and stick tiles is a combination of ease of installation, the easy to keep them clean, the ability to remove and replace tiles which may become damaged or corrupt over the course of time (which seldom happens) and of course they’re very low cost.
