I have just finished building my new big garage extension on my house. I was originally going to paint the floor but have decided to fit some Linoleum. I've had a quick trawl of the web but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I've been told by a carpet fitter working at a friends house that it is possible to get. It must be hard wearing and importantly able to withstand trolley jack/axle stands for long periods and be chemically inert.

Has anyone on here used anything like this or know a company that does make such a product.

Thanks in advance

i've seen the flooring in costco as well looks good theres one thats in a big roll, thats silvery grey and then theres some tiles that are white and black that you can do in a chequered flag design,

all i need now is a garage so i can have that flooring and the big stainless steel rollcab that they have as well

The problem I have is that these tile systems won't support an axle stand with a car on without breaking up.

put the axle stands on some slabs

what about old carpet

infact if you spen alot of time on the floor under cars, now might be the time to think how are you going to heat it ie little patch of under floor>?

Id go for rubber myself (as would telboy).....

nice resin floor or just paint it TBH i think your asking for problems if you are going to point load onto lino or any other surface that is prone to breaking up.
If you do lino I think the cost against other options may be too expensive in the long term.

Flotex, resists just about any crap you can drop at at,


Its not 100 stain proof, but is hard wearing.

Its not cheap either

been to costco today and took some pics of what they had so I could find it and show you.

they have two different types of garage flooring, but they do have a linoleum type flooring with a mettalic wipe clean surface called; G-floor garage floor protector, same as this; G-Floor Garage Floor Protector with 75 Mil Coin Channel Design but with a silver/metallic finish. at costco they charge £146.86 incl vat.

also they have something called; snaplock motofloor garage flooring, same as this; read this thread and scroll down to see some pics, its in america but its exactly the same stuff.

We use these for Marmoleum:
T&R Floor Covering Distributors Ltd.

Polyflor is very good quality if not a little expensive.

Whatever you do use, its well worth choosing a light colour because it is easier to find nuts and bolts etc when you drop them.

If concrete, just use a proper sealing agent, no fuss (They can be coloured if you are fussy).
