Converting a garage is the best way to have extra living space for your family. The choice of flooring depends on what you are going to do with space. In this article, we will share some popular options
Acid-Stained Flooring for Garage Conversion
Most people convert their garage to use it for multiple purposes. Acid-stained concrete provides a granite-like appearance which is perfect for a game room and man cave. Furthermore, it is resistant to dirt and car fluids, if you plan to use it as a combination of game room and garage. In the end, it is concrete and very hard.
Epoxy Flooring for Garage Conversion
If you are planning to turn the space into a game room or workshop, an epoxy floor is a good choice. Furthermore, it can handle car traffic too. Easy to clean and durable flooring which is a perfect fit for a workshop. Car fluids such as motor oil are very hard to clean but this flooring for garage conversion can handle it. You can also add an extra layer of decorative chips to improve the appearance.
Floor Tiles
Another flooring option is floor tiles which are made from polypropylene and other polymers. Furthermore, they are available in different sizes and colors which allows you to be creative with the design. Different surface designs are available such as ribbed, coin-top, diamond-top, and more. They are really easy to install and remove. It is a perfect flooring option for a workshop, game room, man cave, and weight room. You can also park your car on it.
Carpet
You can also use carpet but keep in mind that moisture can cause damage. You should choose an indoor/outdoor carpet as it is more resistant to mold and moisture. It can work for a bedroom, apartment, or family room. Unfortunately, you cannot park your car on it as the fluids such as motor oil can damage it.
Vinyl
If you are looking for affordable flooring then you should choose vinyl. It is easy to clean and can easily handle moisture. Vinyl is available in different colors and designs, even it has a wood flooring design. You can use it with any kind of conversion, especially workshops and game rooms.
Wood Flooring
There are two options- solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring. The problem with solid is that it is not resistant to buckle or swell due to a change in humidity. On the other hand, engineered wood handles it well. You can glue it down to concrete, but in most cases, there is no reason for it. We will recommend you a floating floor as it is easy to repair or remove.
There are lots of color choices available. Traditional and exotic woods like bamboo, teak, and Brazilian cherrywood are available. It is a great option for garage conversion to a living room, apartment, gourmet kitchen, office, library, or upscale man cave.
