Garage floor covering

[Vinpetrol]

I’m looking for a rubber material to cover my garage floor . I’d like to get something like the rubber coin matting but I can’t get a roll width wider than 2m anyone any ideas of any other products that would do the job ? I don’t want loads of joins that might let water from a wet car to get on the underside of the mat

Can you get a polyurethane coating on it.

what size area are you talking Vin? X?wide x Y?long ....
was watching summat on you tube the other night - some sort of floor coating you trowel on - self levels and sets like ceramic tiling, without the joints

I'm not sure , what prep work would it require ? I don't want to go to the bother of scarifying the surface . At the moment it's a smooth concrete floating finished

Size is 5.4 x 6 m approximately. I was thinking more of a loose lay system but open to any good suggestions . I've painted them in my old place but it didn't start to wear off so don't want to do that again

what about the sort of flooring you see in hospitals - goes up the wall as a skirting too ... obviously laid by specialists

I like that stuff , they weld the joints . My brother in law does it but he's 650 miles away

That’s Altro flooring . We use it for accessible bathrooms . Also makes a good campervan floor. Still not sure I would use it in a garage.
Decent rubber interlocking tiles I would use, not the cheap foam ones.

Black CT1 the joints if you are paranoid about fluids getting through the joints?

I wonder if the "rubber" tiles can be glued to epdm ? .... do the corners up the sides like a flat roof and stick the sheet to the floor, dry lay the tiles to get them looking right and then use self vulcanising glue to join the two

Micro cement I'd be wary in a garage with point loads tho.

Duramat , the link above do pvc and rubbber tiles . Says that both are waterproof . It’s the garage at my house not the workshop so point loads not an issue .

Dad's got the interlocking rubber tiles and I've got a few in my little garage ...
But as above they ain't waterproof so in winter the salt etc does seem through.

Not really ideal if you want to drive over it.
Some sort of epoxy coating sounds idea

Agreed a proper epoxy is best bet for a working floor or one that's going to get wet. Loads of options. Poured epoxy with flakes can look awesome!
