Davyo Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Thinking of laying down a full rubber floor.Any body used this, I have only used it for decking out the back if my 4X4.Currently have foam tiles around the edges of the garage and the car sits on the concrete. Just thinking of laying it where the concrete is and leave the foam tiles in black round the edges.Thought either bright blue or red for the rubber floor.

Bobba Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I notice what could be old oil spills on the concrete. Wouldn't oil on rubber (or any othe fluid) be a slip hazard? Just an observation. Edited April 18, 2017 by Bobba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I notice what could be old oil spills on the concrete. Wouldn't oil on rubber (or any othe fluid) be a slip hazard? Just an observation. It's water mate,always have a new car every 3yrs so not really any potencial for an oil leak.My other motor has no leaks but is rarely in the garage.Plus with choosing blue or red for the floor any oil would be spotted.Also I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my Garage or man shed re mess.If anything ends up on the floor it aint there long lol.

bruno22rf Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 That's far too tidy for a real man's Garage - how do you find anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) As said, floor paint, I bet the rubber would increase fire risk. Edited April 18, 2017 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) As said, floor paint, I bet the rubber would increase fire risk. It was painted about 20yrs ago,but with some paint I got of a school caretaker along with some sealer.Did think of that option but it means leaving the car out on the drive for a few nights.Just looking for a quick solution really.

Mice! Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 It's just the floor? If it really bugs you could you not just put a carpet (old one) down then you can hoover it 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmytree Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 That rubber stuff looks like it would be a ****** to clean. Why not look at some kind of vinyl or even laminate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreco Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've got a couple of rolls of a similar rubber flooring I bought at Costco for my garage 18 months ago. I still haven't put it down as I can't seem to clear everything out for long enough! A friend has got it down and is a lovely finish to the floor Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats wrong with leaving car on drive overnight? Are you frightened it rains and get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brixsmaid Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 So wheres all the *c**p hidden, you must have a selection of 'just in case' /off cuts etc leftovers - surely you can't chuck everything away, every time, you never know when it might be really handy in the future?? Can you get OCD on prescription, I think I need a dose of it, then maybe I can tidy my man cave, trouble is I won't be able to find anything after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
