[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

These are a step up from the standard dusty concrete floor, as you say. They're even better than what used to pass for one-upmanship: the red Hanmerite painted floor. But they're not quite there though, are they? By which I mean the retired rock star version of the ultimate garage: underfloor heating, wipe clean floor coating for any vintage car oil spills and a state of the art fire suppression and alarm system to protect each one of your £10 mil vehicles.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Haha I’d need the vehicle first before stepping it up 😊

[@psw3986]

I usually don’t leave comments, but as a professional carpenter with over 15 years of experience, I feel compelled to say that the way the floor is being sawed at 7:30 is very dangerous. It ends well here because small pieces of soft material are involved. However, if you’re sawing large sheet material or solid wood, it can pinch the saw and cause kickback. When sawing on sawhorses, the cut-off piece should not be supported. I just want to warn people not to try this.

[@Wayner123]

Is there anymore videos on the workshop coming?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Very soon 👍

[@charlesscottkelly]

Use lino

Thank you

[@SafetyCarrot]

Most of your stuff is great, so I'll overlook this video but please don't make this a habit.

[@IAmxZki]

What’s the problem?

[@Egypticus]

​@IAmxZki probably the fact that this vid is basically one big advert for that flooring is my guess. Very expensive solution and not actually worth the money imo. If you put a car on it which a comment above somewhere says yes you can, I bet you can't steer on them without pulling up and shifting tiles. Useful if the car just sits still and not actually working on it. Jack's and jack stands would eventually leave marks,scuffs even dents. Cheaper and simpler to paint the garage with a decent garage floor paint. Having said that, it does look visibly nice. And probably fine for foot traffic and using it as a basic workshop rather than a garage workshop. But still overpriced for what they are and still one big advert pushing the product. In my opinion of course.

[@arronfrost2872]

Had them in my workplace for a couple of years.They look great and are ok for a few months but some areas are now like walking on an ice rink.

[@johnenglish3429]

That's interesting, what do you think has caused those areas to be slippery? Are they the areas with most traffic/walking?

[@Capricorn_IV]

Definitely not cost effective, these cost a lot per sm, I bought good quality horse stall mats for a fraction of the price and same thickness Im guessing you got yours for free or heavily discounted if you promote them hence the discount code

[@quiggles]

Really expensive solution...

[@unperrier5998]

please stop using "mil" for "millimeter" as a mil is actually a thousand of an inch (like a thou)

[@nou5440]

the camera is a bit distorted and makes everything look like a banana

[@ToNmAnAyO]

Would appriciate it if you were clear if it's a sponsored video, checked their website and seems quite pricy, sure a few of us who follow also look at costs because we are DIY and not paying someone to do it

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I put a sponsored video tag in the top left corner at the start of the video.

[@The_Reviewist]

Looks great but when initially laying and measuring I’m not sure why you didn’t just shuffle it so much you could fit another piece in. It was like… “I’ve got half a tile on this side and a little more on the other… so I’ll shuffle 50mm.” Or just shuffle it more and put a full piece in. Did I miss something?

[@damianmckenna9899]

Good choice for floor,easy and quick to fit and hard-wearing(I would have chosen one colour probably the grey as I think the interlocking sides of the 2 colours ruin the look,just my opinion)but a dream workshop/man cave ❤

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Your right, great flooring for this very reason

[@sprint955st]

“….did supply me with …” in other words gave me them for free as long as I plugged them

[@TheDIYGuy1]

They are a good product that suit DIY’ers. Why wouldn’t I recommend them? Seeing as this channel is about sharing skills, techniques, products that help others.

[@andrewferguson7762]

link for competition shows as TBC, is that correct. Loved the video btw, great watch

[@TheDIYGuy1]

My mistake, link fixed. Glad you liked the video

[@BKutube]

Enjoying the content - quick question: How much has this workshop cost to build ? if I were to get this done to a similar spec and get trades in to do it, what sort of budget should I set aside?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Probably 20-25k

[@andiscott8470]

Look blinking cracking! Just curious, did you use a workshop vacuum to do the concrete floor before laying this? Seems very dusty concrete..

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I swept it but not vacuumed. It’s unsealed concrete and yeah pretty dusty so it’s nice with the new floor

[@pippipster6767]

I think I would just do all black.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

👍

[@CiscoPhipse]

🥱 Give it some character. You could put your initials in the middle.

[@chrisrobbins4888]

Yet Another spot on and instructive video, Cheers. I am considering this type of flooring for my garage, can you advise how well it behaves with a load, i.e. a trolley jack lifting a car, does it compress and loose its shape, do you know if the jack would sink into the flooring tiles. Or is it stable. Thanks and keep up the great content.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you liked it. I’ve not tried them under extreme load but they are very dense. I think you can order samples

[@scottmacpherson6787]

£6.96 a tile, a double garage would cost £1002 serious money given the average new-build in the UK is shocking quality and the floor would need prepped. Yours looks spot on though.

[@chrishamilton-wearing3232]

Did you do a part 7 for the workshop build, plastering the walls ?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Coming in the finale in a couple of weeks 😊

[@chrishamilton-wearing3232]

@@TheDIYGuy1 I have just found your channel and subscribed as I am in the near future going to build my own workshop, 9m x 4m, originally it was going to have an apex roof but I am now ththat a pent roof is the way to go as it will be easier, quicker and cheaper. I live in mid west France and to give you an example of material costs here, a 15mm 8 x 4 sheet of OSB costs around 80 quid. So mine will have horizontal boards made from Douglas which I will cut shiplap edges for the exterior. Whilst, it is a workshop and not in any way a garden room it will have plasterboard lining which I will spray using my Wagner sprayer ! All in all very similar to your project but with enough differences to keep it interesting for when I get my you tube channel up and running.

[@timscanlanphotography]

Cracking stuff! Refurbing my garage at the mo so definitely going to take a look at these. Loving the channel btw. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Awesome, thank you!

[@AntonioLuis987]

Hello! Would this floor be suitable for jobs involving oil and grease? Or would the oil just get all stuck to the floor? Thank you!

[@michaelharnden]

Absolutely love these videos, currently going through a bit of a dilemma! My back wall/boundary wall is going to end up being pretty close to the boundary, so much so that I can't get behind it to fit the cladding once the wall is up - oversight on my part I know So i'm going to fit the cladding on the back wall before putting the walls up, my concern is what to do about leaving a gap for the soffit at the top of the back wall, I dont want to leave a massive gap for insects/birds to get into Any advice greatly appreciated!

£7 a tile at the moment with a normal price of £10 a tile. At only 50cm a tile that will get expensive very quickly, I counted ~96 tiles for that workshop, and I'd need 110 for my space. At normal price that's well over a grand. I also couldn't get the discount code to work. Good install video though, looks amazing.

So far so good. No issues with dust nor footprints. I’ve even been cutting metal in there ,leaving swarf everywhere and it swept up easy

[@Chris-yc3mm]

Looks really good, pitty there is not a couple of grey entrace pieces to keep the pattern going. 😂 competition link just says TBC

Cheers. Could of chosen the grey ramps but for some reason thought black would look better but you maybe right. Fixed the comp link

[@bobjit252]

Not cost effective, there expensive, and awful if you spill something , but hey if there given to you free why not plug an ad for them . I don’t really think people need to be told how to put them together.

[@Howt-ooo]

If one gets stained or damaged you can just replace that one tile?

[@bobjit252]

@@Howt-ooo that’s exactly why there not cost effective, if the floor is epoxy resin , polyurethane or even tiled that staining does not happen and the mess can be cleaned up . What happens if you spill something I.e oil and goes underneath the tile 🤔, the guy is just plugging the product it’s free for him

[@angiej4865]

Great - if you have an older garage, (without any signs of damp), is it wise to do something to the concrete floor before laying these?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I have a damp proof membrane underneath my concrete. If not, you could lay a damp proof membrane under your floor tiles first

[@angiej4865]

​@TheDIYGuy1 Had a good look at it today - seems to be membrane visible around the edges of the floor so all good.

Lots of things your comment has wrong. I don’t make £720 as there are plenty of costs associated that I need not explain. The set was bought and not free.

[@jameseabonn2674]

​@TheDIYGuy1 I appreciate your hustle and have no dramas with you using your audience for an additional revenue stream. Have you considered increasing the ticket cap or periodicity of competitions to increase the total profit rather than raising ticket prices? I just feel like £1 is the sweet spot to keep people interested, that's all. Would love to hear your opinion, again not trying to be negative - it's just an observation.

Ud assume the money helps go towards more video content... Hes not a huge million+ follower youtuber so would get little to nothing from youtube....You think he gets all these materials for free? All the camera equipment and time in editing videos? Its an educational video that can help alot of people... Which is more than can be said for alot more popular youtubers that make huge money in revenue and advertisment literally wasting money away for the sake of views... Go elsewhere
