The Best Garage Floor Mats

What is the best garage floor mat?
How can I protect my garage floor?

A garage flooring is exposed to nasty emission and leaks from underneath your car. This causes a lot of damage to either the flooring paint & tiles or concrete.

However, with garage floor mats, you can evade such challenges. These mats are portable and can act as a floor cover to enhance the floor durability. The mats are available in different styles, colors, designs, and materials. They are mainly made from polyvinyl plastic or rubber.

For people living in snowy climatic conditions, you should have the garage floor containment mat. It has a higher water holding capacity than basic garage floor mats. Any garage frequenter knows the importance of rolling these mats, making them a perfect gift choice.

What to Consider Before Buying the Garage Floor Mat

Some of the common factors include:

The mat’s strength to hold a moving vehicle or when on a standstill.
Its endurance to the spills and chemicals from the car.
Check whether it has a slip resistance feature to enhance safety or not.
Its easy to wash and dry up- You need to buy a mat that is easy to clean and one that dries up very quickly.
The pattern of its texture- Will it allow for quick channeling of the liquids on the mat? That should play as a factor.
Thickness- the floor mat is considered thick if it is ¾ inches thicker and above. Most standard mats are ½ inche thicker. The thicker the carpet, the more expensive it and vice versa.

Pros of Buying the Best Garage Floor Mat

Portability. Tiles are rigid and can’t be moved at the owner’s convenience. However, garage flooring mats are mobile.
Easy to clean. If the garage gets very messy, you can easily remove the garage mats and wash them with regular detergents and machines. This helps to remove even the most stubborn stains.

Flooring mats should be ranked among the most preferred gift for any garage owners.

AutoFloorGuard AFG7916 Black 7’9″ x 16′ AFG Compact Size Containment mat

Specs

AutoFloorGuard has been the #1 market leader in garage containment mats for over 5 years. Yet this year, we have evolved our design and engineered the best performing containment mat ever! After a year of extensive testing, we have made subtle changes to our product design including the following. We improved the methodology for forming the containment edge that has proven in tests to outperform previous methods of design in a variety of tough conditions. Secondly, we optimized fabric weight for durability, flexibility and reducing wrinkles. Finally, we developed new way of package preparation for AutoFloorGuard that better allows the product to lay flat right out of the box (reducing wrinkles) and improved the performance of the containment edge. Our Optimized Commercial grade fabric is polyester scrim material that is treated with a coating process that allows for PVC to coat and intertwine with polyester strands, making it stronger than ever. PVC fabric is used and trusted in the trucking industry to handle the road’s toughest conditions day-in and day-out. Our fabric is also mildew and rot resistant, along with being ultraviolet treated to resist fading and prevent fabric breakdown. Heat-sealed watertight seams are reinforced and thermal welded for durability and functionality. Finally, we made the product totally ready to use as soon as you receive it. This year we have included a Free Squeegee & Telescoping pole and our exclusive AutoFloorGuard design Stay-Put Corners in the box.

Dirt, leaves, mud, excess water and other elements get trapped on the mat and help to reduce tracking into your home. The mats are lightweight and extremely durable. Patented Drymate material absorbs and contains liquids and wicks away moisture. The absorbent top layer of our mat is made from a non-woven polyester fabric that easily contains melting snow, water, and other fluids. The bottom layer of our mat features our liquid bonded waterproof backing made from polypropylene. Our waterproof backing stops liquids, motor oil, brake fluid, gasoline, and coolant and prevents these liquids from soaking through to damage or stain the surface below. The waterproof backing also works as a moisture barrier and will protect your vehicles, antique cars, motorcycles, and other equipment from rusting during storage. When installing the mat ensure the surface is clean, roll the mat out, place the mat fabric side up, pull the corners tight and affix double-sided tape to adhere the mat to your surface. The mat will have some wrinkles at first from being packaged but over time these will relax out. Please note that our material can be easily cut to fit with scissors and the edges will not fray or split. Combine multiple mats to cover your entire garage surface. Unlike heavy rubber or vinyl type mats, the Armor All Garage Floor Mat is easy to move and clean. Simply vacuum, hose off or power-wash with a mild detergent. Or just spot clean as needed. Do not bleach. If your mat becomes saturated by excess rain, water or melting snow, just squeegee off excess water or wet vac and it will air-dry faster.
