Thank you for this video. This is probably an unusual question, but, to your knowledge, could this material have any sort of reaction with rotomolded plastic kayaks if they were laid on top of it for storage? Thank you.
@allgaragefloors Жыл бұрын
To our knowledge, it should not be an issue. Rotomolded plastic is typically polyethylene which generally does not react with with PVC mats.

Nice video. Would you recommend putting the g-floor just under and just past the garage door to make clean out easier?
@allgaragefloors5 күн бұрын
Hi Patrick. You don't want G-Floor sticking out past the door. The sun will cause it to expand which can make it ripple across the mat as soon as you open the door. It's best to keep them just inside or at the most, under the door.

You mentioned about leaving very small gaps around the perimeter when laying the G-Floor around immovable objects. What if you plan to install G-flooring to cover a 20x20 garage completely and lay something like New Age, Husky, Gladiator storage cabinets and workspaces directly on top of the G-Floor for example, along one wall of your garage? Will the G-Floor ever buckle/warp in the vicinity of those cabinets?
@allgaragefloors11 ай бұрын
It generally is not a problem. Ideally, you want to move the heavy cabinets onto the flooring when it's relatively warm already. There is very little chance of the mat expanding much after that. If anything it will shrink slightly in cooler weather which will not result in buckling anywhere.

I have a 24' by 17' garage so I will have a seam the length of the garage. I have residential rack storage and a refrigerator along one long wall and nothing on the opposite long wall. If I allow for the expansion along the wall with nothing sitting on it with the rack storage and refer on the opposite long wall will I have a problem with expansion? Any ideas? I would like to run the G-floor wall to wall. The area is never in direct sunlight. Thanks Dan
@allgaragefloors10 ай бұрын
Hi Dan. You shouldn't have a problem with that. The key is to roll out the side with the storage racks and refrigerator when it's relatively warm if you can. Let it relax for two or three days and then move the racks and such on top. After that, roll out the other side and butt the mats together to see how they do. If they don't expand or contract much, you can run G-Floor seam tape underneath to keep them together. If if looks like you will need some room between the two for expansion and contraction, then the center trim strip works best for that.

It does not come in sizes wider than 10'. However, you can custom order the length. You can run three 60' lengths connected via the center trim strip or six 30' lengths depending on the orientation of your space.

The mat will prevent the drain from working properly since it would be covered. You will need to cut a hole in the mat so that any water it collects will be able to reach the drain.

I’m considering installing your product in my enclosed trailer. How does this stand up against pallets sliding on it?
@allgaragefloors8 ай бұрын
Hi Mike. Just to avoid confusion, G-Floor mats are not our product. They are manufactured in the U.S. by Better Life Technologies and sold by various vendors, including G-Floor direct. The mats are very tough, but they are not going to last long if pallets are being slid back and forth on them on a consistent basis. Pallets are usually used for heavy items, they have sharp edges, splinters, and nails that will eventually damage the mats. If it's only occasional use of pallets, then you may be OK. We would recommend a coined design if that is the case. The diamond tread will have a tendency to catch on the pallet bottom.

Question is if you choose to glue it down do you still need the 1/2 gap for wall to wall install or does the glue stop the expansion and contraction?
@allgaragefloors8 ай бұрын
Hi Brian. The 1/2 gap is not as much a concern when gluing the entire mat to the floor. It is recommended to glue the mat during relatively warmer temperatures to take advantage of any expansion that may have already occurred.

Hey Mr. Shovelhead. G-Floor has actually conducted tests with various adhesives. The one they endorse for gluing their mats to concrete is Taylor Resolute - G-Floor to Concrete Adhesive.

Will tractor tires stain it like car tires?
@allgaragefloors11 ай бұрын
That is a great question that we don't have the answer to. Car tires stain them due to the plasticizers that leach out. They are used to keep them soft and pliable for cold weather traction. We would guess that tractor tires use similar technology, but to what extent we can't say. We would recommend emailing G-Floor directly to ask.

@allgaragefloors2 жыл бұрын
Garage mats are a quick and easy solution. It's one reason they are popular. A proper epoxy coating is definitely more work, but it does provide a decorative look and seals the concrete. In addition, stain protection is better and it shows dirt and debris less. It's worth the effort if you are up to it.

I have the epoxy base and polyaspartic top coat on the vinyl flake, and then G-Floor on top. Trust me, you gonna ruin your floor if you park. Don't listen to the epoxy flooring guys if they tell you its okay to park and that it will last. I learned this the hard way. Now I had the flooring guys redo the flake and also use the clear ribbed gfloor on top so I can still the flake. Looks good and I treat the mat, instead of the expensive flaked epoxy floor as a sacrificial piece to be replaced every 5 years or so.
