What garage flooring?

[Dart2050]

Just finished building my garage. Not large, 5.1x3.8 meters, but looking forward to using it. Can't make my mind up about flooring. Concrete not as level as I would like and I don't want to fiddle about with self levelling compounds, so considering rubber tiles but which sort? Pricey items. Horse flooring not much cheaper. What have you done folks? I'm interested to find out.

Nor me. Been saying I will give it a few coats of floor paint for about 5 years.

I have just got rubber backed carpet tiles down in my man cave, and that way can lie on the floor to clean the cars, and they have been down for around 10 years

and they are cheaper than interlocking mats or whatever other product, and you can get different colours and make your own pattern on floor

When my wife got laminate put in the lounge and hallway, I took the carpet and put it in the garage. Warm and soft to stand and walk on, especially as it’s 3 layers thick by the work bench! Been in there 2 years and no sign of damp or mould etc

Does a wet car not soak it through?

Would do if I was putting the daily drive in there, but garage is used for the bike and trike, dry weather use.

I put my car into a Carcoon over the winter and the tough plastic groundsheet is wet underneath from the concrete sweating. That’d be my worry about putting down carpet
