Transform Your Garage with Stylish and Durable Garage Floor Tiles

What Type of Garage Floor Tile is Best?

Garage floor tiles are available in flexible PVC or rigid polypropylene. Rigid products are more stain-resistant and provide the classic straight-edge, checkerboard look. PVC tiles may appear more seamless but are more likely to stain from exposure to certain tires. For polypropylene garage tile systems, we suggest using female edges at the entrance of the garage.

Garage Floor Tile vs Other Garage Flooring Products

Many Garage Flooring customers consider garage floor tiles over mats or coatings because they are easier to use. Tiles do not require the floor prep that garage floor coatings require and our rigid garage tile will not stain like PVC garage floor mat will. Tiles are also easier to repair should one become damaged- you can simply remove the damaged tile and replace it.

Which Garage Floor Tile is Best for Me

It is always important to understand that garage floor tiles come in many shapes and sizes. The best tile for my floor may be different than the best product for yours. That said, we do have some general guidelines to help you decide. For the basic garage where you will simply be parking, any of our garage tiles will do. We suggest the Ribbed Flow Through  product or the HDXT tiles.

Best Garage Tile for Working Garage

If your garage is more of a working garage, RaceDeck may be a better choice. RaceDeck tiles are designed for floor jacks, jack stands, and more. If price is a concern, the flow-through tile is still your best option. However,  more than one working garage has been done using our cheapest tile

If your garage is multi-use, you may find products like the HDXT tiles to be best suited to your needs. These tiles are great because it is easier to roll items on it. If you have a toolbox or use your garage as a gym, we like the HDXT coin tiles. Why use a garage floor tile? Learn more

Planning Your Floor

Planning your garage floor with Garage Flooring LLC is easy! We offer several tools to assist you in the process, and we have a team of garage experts standing by with the knowledge to help you. Our calls never go to a call center because all calls are very important to us. Before you make your purchase, you need to make one crucial decision. Are you installing the garage floor tiles wall to wall, or are you creating a parking pad?

If you are installing the tiles wall to wall you will only need female edges at the garage door. These edges are simply used to ramp your car up the thickness of the tile. Now, if you are installing a parking pad, calculating the edges can be a little more difficult.

Standing outside the garage looking in, we will call the side facing the garage door Side A. The Side to the left is Side B. The side to the right is Side C and the side to the back of the garage is Side D. Any portion of Side A or Side B that are not against a wall will need female edges. Sides C & D will need male edges.

The corners are where most people get confused. We suggest ordering 2 male corners and 2 female corners. If you want to figure it out exactly, there are a few things you need to understand. First, there are only two corner types, male and female. There is no right and left. The corner is ALWAYS installed on the RIGHT side of the section you are working on.

Now that we know about the garage tile corners let’s have a look at some examples. If you wanted to wrap the edges around from Side A to Side B you would use a female corner on the B side of the tile. If you wanted to wrap the edge from Side B to Side C you would use a male corner on the C Side of the garage floor tiles.

FAQs About Garage Floor Tiles

What is the Difference Between The Different Types of Tiles

With all the garage floor tiles on the market today, selecting the right garage tile can feel overwhelming. The first question you need to answer is this: “Is this for an automotive garage?” If the answer is yes than we highly suggest the rigid garage tile. But which one? Let’s have an in-depth look.

TrueLock Standard

TrueLock Standard is our American Made entry-level tile. Frankly, we were frustrated by being undersold by cheap knockoffs from overseas. We worked with the nation’s second-largest garage tile manufacturer to build us a tile that was the perfect combination of American Engineering and budget friendly. It is certainly lighter weight than our most expensive tiles. It will not interlock with the HD or HDXT tiles (or any other tile we sell), but for the average residential garage, it is just flat-out awesome. Several Youtube videos have been made showing it in much higher abuse situations than we would have ever expected.

TrueLock HD

TrueLock HD is our original garage floor tile. They are manufactured for us by an ISO-certified facility and 100% Made in the USA. They are recyclable (#5) but constructed only from the highest quality raw materials. They feature a four-lock patented system that simply can’t be matched by anyone else in the industry. The TrueLock HD/HDXT Flow Through tile is the same product sold under  the #1 national brand at a much lower price point.

TrueLock HDXT

TrueLock HDXT is the next generation of garage floor tiles. We took the better of the two locking systems and added an amazing top plate that brought both a functional and attractive design to the product. The HDXT Diamond Plate tile features a real diamond plate look that was designed from an impression of the real thing. The HDXT Coin tile features smaller coins with a traction grip added to the top. This results in a tile that allows toolboxes to roll with ease while offering the best possible combination of traction and ease of cleaning.

Are garage floor tiles a good idea?

You can transform the look of any garage with garage door tiles. Our interlocking garage floor tiles are available in various styles and colors. From diamond patterns to coin and ribbed styles, our tiles will take your garage to the next level. Mix up the colors and patterns to create a custom look that will “wow” anyone. They’re the perfect choice for anyone that likes to spend time in their garage. Many customers use them to make their man cave, workout room, or workshop a more comfortable customized space. 

What type of tile is best for the garage floor?

The best tile for your garage floor depends on how you plan to use your garage. For example, many customers prefer HD/HDXT tiles because they can create the exact flooring style that’s right for them. TrueLock Standard garage floor tiles are perfect for people that like to spend a lot of time in their garage, such as using it as a man cave, show garage, or as an extra room to spend quality time with their family. However, if you plan to work in your garage and use lifts and jacks daily, the RaceDeck® brand is the most durable and an ideal choice for heavy-weight applications. All our tiles are great choices, and though flexible tiles are quieter, they’re thinner and prone to staining, while rigid tiles are more stain resistant and provide a classic, straight-edge checkerboard look. 

What is the most durable garage floor tile?

All our garage floor tiles are durable and manufactured to withstand extreme weather conditions and temperatures. Whether you choose HDXT, TrueLock HD,TrueLock Standard or RaceDeck®, you’ll find that our entire selection is built to be as tough as the work you’re doing. But if you’re searching for the most durable garage tile that can withstand engine hoists, lifts, and jacks, consider upgrading to RaceDeck® garage floor tiles. Contact us for expert advice.

Common Types of Garage Floor Tiles

There are several types of garage floor tiles that different applications use, depending on their specific needs. Here, we’ll take a look at the two main types of garage tiles based on their hardness:

• Hard Plastic Garage Floor Tiles: These rigid floor tiles offer superior durability with high-quality hard plastics. Typically, if you need long-lasting and high-strength garage tiles, these options will be your best bet. They can include interlocking garage floor tiles that connect with each other for easy installation that secures them into place.
• Soft Plastic Garage Floor Tiles: Another option for your garage floor is a soft plastic garage tile. These PVC tiles are ideal for applications requiring flexible flooring that requires less maintenance. 

In addition to these plastic options, there are other materials you can choose for garage floor tiles, including:

• Rubber Floor Tiles: In some cases, rubber garage floor tiles might be ideal, especially if you want to build a gym. Rubber is an excellent material for interlocking garage floor tiles, as it can provide a solution that’s easy to install and clean. 
• Carpet Floor Tiles: You might benefit from carpet floor tiles if you want a warmer option that allows for plenty of pattern and color options. The right carpeting materials will resist mold, stains, water, and mildew in all types of environments, resulting in low maintenance requirements. These tiles are also available as interlocking garage floor tiles that allow for easy installation.

Garage Floor Tiles vs. Epoxy Flooring

When considering a covering for your garage flooring, you might give thought to epoxy flooring or other coating materials instead of tile for garage floors. Both types of installations have pros and cons, which you’ll see when comparing tiles to epoxy coating. 

If you’re looking for something easier to install while providing sufficient durability along with flexibility, you might choose textured or smooth garage floor tiles. These are typically easy to put together using interlocking tile materials. However, you might want to look at epoxy coating if you want a more seamless installation that lasts for many years and doesn’t require as much hands-on work.

It all comes down to what works best for your application and installation site. With the help of the right suppliers, you can find the perfect products to get the job done.

Patterns for Garage Floor Tiles

You can also choose from different patterns for your garage tiles, with various options including:

• Diamond Garage Tiles: These garage floor tiles feature a diamond pattern that lends a professional look popular in many commercial and industrial settings.
• Vented Garage Tiles: These tiles appear sleek and smooth, like conventional plastic, while enabling proper drainage.
• Smooth Garage Tiles: If you would prefer tile for garage floors that don’t have a defined texture, you might choose smooth interlocking garage floor tiles. 
• Coin Garage Tiles: These tiles also give your flooring a professional appearance, adding more traction to prevent slippage.

 In addition to these different patterns, you can choose from all types of color options based on your preferences and what works in your garage space.
