Title: garage floor tiles
Post by: doz on 18 November 2012, 19:46:20: I want to do the garage floor. I want to use PVC tiles. Has anybody done this? What should I be looking to buy? and from where? I need to cover 33 square meters so cost is a factor

I have a horrible feeling that PVC "reacts" to petroleum substances by "melting" ??? so fuel/oil spills might be messy ?? I might be wrong however with modern PVC materials ..:(

Although mines carpeted. Which means no spilages anyway.

What can you afford

Post by: doz on 18 November 2012, 20:24:55: Great thanks for the help. No adhesive. No they don't curl. Won't be constantly soaked in oil as I'll wipe it up. So can we get back to where to get them from? Preferably a company somebody has used? Don't want the thread getting bogged down just about oil contamination. I'd like to do it for under 300

Post by: RobG on 18 November 2012, 20:36:12: £300 or thereabouts for 33 sq.m isn`t viable for quality flooring. What about these if you don`t mind a bit of work with a mallet

As it's a roll like lino, you havn't got so many joints to worry about and at £8.25 per SqM its affordable! :y

Post by: doz on 18 November 2012, 20:45:19: Aye saw those. Don't want the headache really. I've found a couple of places which are coming in around 250 but I can't say what the quality is like. Most places are coming in around 450.
