I would have to say it depends on what you do in the garage - park cars and walk on it - or is it a workshop ?? If its the latter I would paint it and use rubber matting (or other) where you stand for long periods.Anyone got experiences with this/review? Thinking of pulling trigger on but expensive and could just paint the floor.
Welding splatter and grinding sparks will burn into it but won't set it on fireget some cattle mat ,, its great for standing on for long periods , its cheap and can be hosed off ,,, not tried it for fire resistance though ,,, worthy of a wee test maybe.
Felt very stable, is rated for 6t and 38t rolling or something like that. It's definitely solid, 7mm thick PVC. I think if you had something heavy and sharp on it it would damage (like a sharp stone caught under a trolley jack wheel) but other than that seems good. Good idea on grinder I'll give that a go.If they’re just off cuts and scrap anyway, fire a grinder at it and weld over it to see what happens?
I’ve always been a fan of floor paint and then duckboard in from of machines and benches.
What’s it like with the weight of a car on an axle stand? Thinking stability rather than damage although that’s a consideration
Here's a video: https://streamable.com/8jlq6uJust a minor point - how far does a 6mm washer bounce on it....? Or anything small for that matter. ??
Now that is seriously impressive !!! - but was it really 6mm? Guess that's the box ticked for "bounce test"Here's a video: https://streamable.com/8jlq6u
About 7mm didn't have any 6! Yeah quite good resultNow that is seriously impressive !!! - but was it really 6mm? Guess that's the box ticked for "bounce test"
Doesn't seem much cheaperStable mats - typically 10mm thick and tough as old boots and probably considerably cheaper than your lock together panels
Cheers for that. Texture of yours looks similar to stuff I was looking at, any issues with it being slippery?We had that sort of stuff in our old workshop. I reckon it brought the temperature up by about 5c over the bare concrete floor. Very durable but welding splatter did melt them.
make sure you leave good expansion room, ours was recommended at 5mm at all edges, but during warm days they would expand and start bending, ended up with nearer 10mm all round and some edging strip to make it look neater. Also get the sloping bits (yellow in image) if you are moving vehicles in and out.
we now have it in the garage at home ( as do several neighbours) as we moved out of that particular building.
obviously needs a clean now.
would definitely use again if we get another small workshop

No, never got slippery. Used to pressure wash it with one of those patio attachments when it got really grubby worked wellCheers for that. Texture of yours looks similar to stuff I was looking at, any issues with it being slippery?
