Diamond Tread Pattern Garage Flooring

There are a few options for seaming two (or more) garage mats.  The first and easiest option is to simply overlap one roll onto another.  Take one roll and overlay 3-6" on top of the second roll.  Another way to connect two rolls is to use the Garage Floor Matting Center Connectors. Slide each roll into one end of the connector which grabs and holds onto the matting on both sides. Lastly, the matting can be seamed using the Garage Floor Mat Seaming Tape. This option gives the cleanest looking seam. After cleaning the edge of the first mat, roll it back and attach the double-sided tape to the underside, leaving roughly half of it exposed and protruding from the edge. After putting the first mat on the floor lift the second roll, clean the back edge and set it so that it lines up with the edge of the first roll. Although a little more work, this gives a smooth, seamless look with the tape being hidden from view underneath both mats.

Yes, a car jack can be safely used on top of the roll matting without damaging the floor.  Please note that if you leave the jack in place for a longer period of time there may be a slight indentation on the mat once the floor jack is moved elsewhere.  However, an indentation won't affect the functionality or durability of the matting.

Roll-out garage flooring is designed for heavy-duty use and can withstand a wide variety of applications including use in a trailer (including a horse trailer) and under tractors.  These rolls are stain, mildew and fade resistant, have a textured surface for enhanced traction and can easily be cut down to fit the contours of the floor of the trailer.  (Please note that we recommend gluing the garage flooring down for use in any trailer to ensure the matting stays securely in place).

No.  Salts of any kind are not a problem for the garage matting and do not need to be removed or addressed any differently than other debris.

These garage roll mats can easily be cut with a utility knife.  After laying out the mat, mark the area needing to be removed and then trace the same mark with the knife.  Once removed, the matting will still continue to function properly without premature deterioration.

These garage flooring rolls can be safely used over a garage floor that has small imperfections like those mentioned above.  Small cracks, pits and scrapes are common to most garage floors and these mats can certainly accommodate those situations.  For more substantial gouges or deeper pits that could telegraph through the matting, it would be best to fill them in before laying down the garage flooring since although the matting would be fine for a time, eventually the unevenness could stretch or tear the matting if driven over a great deal.

Sweeping or vacuuming will remove most of the day-to-day dirt, dust and debris that gets tracked onto these garage mats.  A blower can also be used to blow everything out of the garage quickly and efficiently.  For mud, gum or more stubborn stains, using warm water and a little liquid soap should do the trick.  Engine fluids should not eat through the mat but if there is a spill on the mat, it's best to clean it up quickly.  Although very unlikely, it's possible that a stain could appear on a light colored mat from extended exposure to strong chemicals or road tar.

In addition to a releasable adhesive, we also carry a heavy-duty, double-sided Garage Floor Mat Seaming Tape that will secure the matting in place but not damage or stain the floor below.

A kick stand / center stand will not damage the garage flooring and can safely be parked on top of this roll material without worry.

You can certainly use these garage floor rolls to cover the floor of your boat.  We recommend that the floor of the boat be cleaned (and dry) before installing.  The matting itself should be glued down using outdoor Garage Flooring Adhesive. This matting is stain, mold and mildew resistant and will hold up to the sun and water (even salt water) exposure.
