CHEAP GARAGE FLOORING - ARE THESE HALFORDS FLOOR MATS ANY GOOD?!!

[@Gubsygaming]

a roof box for the kids is such a great idea! no more noise in the back seat

😂

[@amydenton4759]

Tank you for reviewing these, I've been thinking about them for my shed and that's made up my mind. Thank you xx

[@CarFocused]

You’re welcome 👍🏻

[@graemewhitehead6233]

Much better than I thought it would be. I’d read some reviews of flooring tiles, and they weren’t great at all. I’ve got two strips of carpet tiles for the tyre runs, with a sealed & painted floor. These carpet tiles have been in for 5 years, and lasted really well. If you are going to use contact adhesive, you MUST seal the concrete floor first, as the dusty surface won’t allow the adhesive to stick, and they will come up again

[@CarFocused]

Good point on sealing the floor! But yes, these aren’t bad really for the money!

[@ericstephenson3607]

Currently have some old carpet down at the moment, but rubber would be a lot easier to push the motorcycle into place.

[@CarFocused]

Ideally I’d have the hard rubber pads, but these Halfords ones are still going strong!

[@richardr1860]

Having seen this in going to get it done for mine! The cold floor is a magnet for condensation in the winter so anything that will insulate the floor will help keep the moisture away from the underside of the car

[@CarFocused]

It will definitely help with that. For the money you couldn’t really ask for more!

[@ellyfernandes4921]

After laying these tiles is there water collected under the tiles due to condensation and does it get mouldy? Sorry if it's a silly question but I am rubbish at this and I want to put a rubber or a foam click tile floor for my boys to have a little gym area in my garage. Thank you 🙏

[@Richard57072]

I’ve just done a double garage that had old carpet and it’s obviously much nicer. The cost made it a no brainer, £200 compared to £1k the more expensive stuff. I do have the buckling issue though and will probably try adhesive. Failing that horse mats are supposed to be good. You get what you pay for…..

[@PixelVogue]

Got these in mine around 3 years maybe 4, where i've kept my M6 inside. They do leave big prints where the tyres are sat, but I have a spare pack. Thinking of replacing mine as underneath I have found moisture, might not be because of the tiles but I am looking at proper vented tiles for about 500quid (3x5m sq).

[@CarFocused]

I’ve stuck 4 square patches of spare carpet beneath where the wheels sit now and it’s solved the issue of them going flat. I haven’t noticed any damp under mine but I have heard this can happen. Mine are still going strong! The long term vented ones should be decent - they’ll just get dust etc stuck inside the cracks but I guess it’s nothing a hoover can’t solve 👍🏻

[@PixelVogue]

@@CarFocused I swapped mine out for some spares I had, might get some Tyredox for long term storage

[@alandonnelly9788]

Thats a good review never thought about tiles in my garage it's also concrete & very cold in the winter deffo something 2 think about

[@CarFocused]

Yea man get some bought 😁

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

4:40 Done properly that wont happen. Also, this can be caused by human error... Such as tapping those brakes a bit too hard coming to a stop, all it takes is a tiny bit of umph and then your cars weight shifts forward as it stops, pushing the flooring as you see here. Same with installing carpet.. Until its completely installed, you can "skid" your shoe or "kick" the floor a bit and make the entire piece of flooring to shift along the pad.

[@saracen888]

Did you have to seal the concrete before putting the tiles down?

[@mrfizeg8661]

Great vid, might look into getting these. Currently have left over carpet and underlay doing the trick

[@CarFocused]

Cheers! Yea they’ll be better than that. It’s good because if a section gets damaged you can just simply replace a tile.

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Nice mate I'm looking at the same stuff for my shed for my bike- price has shot up like you said which is a pain but nice to know it's not too shit

[@MrNurdiboy]

Just thinking, is it possible to link the tiles like a brick bond I.e staggered rather than side by side as maybe that would be less likely for some to bow? The jacking of a car as you point out could be problematic, so I’ll stick with my painted floor and moveable rubber mat to avoid the cold floor when working on the car 🤔

[@markdavis8430]

Thanks bud ✌️

[@cmcm94]

They’re currently doing 2 packs for £18 so I’ve picked up 4 packs (24 tiles) of these, was initially £36 but with the free Halfords membership discount and the current 10% off promo code, got the price down to £27.40. Works out £6.85 per pack… bargain!

[@CarFocused]

That’s great mate. FYI mine are still going strong! Really can’t complain for the money!

[@cmcm94]

@@CarFocusedYou get durability and affordability in one, can’t go wrong!

[@budegan76]

Are these black? They look grey on my screen, but Halfords only appear to be selling black (unless grey has been discontinued). Thanks for the review!

[@CarFocused]

Yes these are black 👍🏻

[@CL4SSiCS]

Like to protect your garage floor under its not too bad

[@kevinkeelan354]

Off cuts make great tool drawer liners/shadow foam substitute.

[@CarFocused]

Good idea!

[@kevinkeelan354]

@@CarFocused £10 worth of these goes as far as £300 worth of shadowfoam. I like wasting money on silly shit but shadowfoam is a step too far.

[@RS-M1KE]

I had them in my garage and found them great until I put my car in wet one day. The water stayed under the tiles for weeks so I took them out again

[@CarFocused]

I’ll pull one up and have a check but haven’t noticed anything yet.

[@ma-michael1558]

and what are your thoughts a year on post-installation?

[@CarFocused]

They have actually lasted very well. I didn’t stick them down in the end and they’ve stayed put. They do still bulge up slightly around the front wheels of the car but nothing major.

[@andrewcordery6157]

Bought some yesterday but to put our hot tub on it I used my Halfords trade card and they discount to just over £11 per pack

[@CarFocused]

Hopefully the weight of the hot tub won’t ruin them - but even if it does you haven’t spent much money. They will certainly be fine for around the edge of the tub.

[@maryellis3661]

do you use the heater to heat your garage?

[@cloud9cycles857]

Thank you for sharing!

[@CarFocused]

You’re welcome 👍🏻👍🏻

[@sapphirekeyes2042]

Hey dude how much did the tiles cost you for that whole bit of flooring

[@CarFocused]

I think I paid £50….

[@sapphirekeyes2042]

Wicked. Any idea how there holding up? X

[@stevemahoney5209]

Nice informative video there 😃😃👍👍

[@CarFocused]

Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@Hazardous975]

These would be great for working on motorbikes

[@CarFocused]

Yea a lighter vehicle like a motorbike would be ideal.

[@Mogul25Years]

What material is it?

[@habzzz]

Came to ask the same thing! Absolutely no infp or there. Looks foam to me

[@bradaloop]

How thick are these in cm/mm?

[@CarFocused]

About 10mm

[@kevinkeelan354]

Not often I buy anything these days and get good value. These are a bargain at 2 packs for £20. Great shed flooring.

[@Security2U]

Iv a Halfords trade card I can get a pack for 12 euro and the coloured ones for 9 euro

[@chrisryanst]

As you said for £50 it's cool👍😉

[@CarFocused]

Yea man cheap option for someone wanting to add a little extra to the garage 😁

[@kratcliffe5680]

Had these, utter garbage. Once you drive your car in and out several times, they start to 'hitch' up and bow. Needless to say, straight in the bin

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

you can always put the kids in it when they get to bad ! Just joking !

[@alexr129]

im going to get these to stand my RS on

[@HaiLsKuNkY]

Looks like junk to me I wouldn't buy them

Fair enough lol

[@Sticky-gp2yh]

Was considering these myself, but £650 for a 5x5 double garage is way too expensive. There are cheaper and better options out there.

[@bobdidit55]

You are going to struggle to get a garage floor tile cheaper anywhere. Especially as Halfords is doing 2 packs of 6 for £20. I did my whole garage for about £100.

[@MohammedIqbal-hd7hv]

I just ordered mine just now pack of 6 £8 covers 2.16 sqm so I purchased 10 to cover 18sqm and a little extra yehhhhh

[@GarageStyleLtd]

No! You get what you pay for but these will never last in a garage environment. We would love to help if you ever want to upgrade to our premium tiles! 😀👍🏻

[@CarFocused]

To be fair they’ve been great for the money! Would love a proper setup but just can’t justify the spend at the moment.

[@GarageStyleLtd]

@@CarFocused Can't fault you for wanting to save the money, but even after just 8 months you can see why they're that cheap. They'd probably be great for a kids playroom though.
