Whether you’re hoping to use your garage as a gym or hangout space, or simply want to revitalize the flooring that’s there currently, rubber mats might be an ideal solution. Rubber mats for garage spaces are popular for many reasons, and they offer distinct benefits to your garage.

The Benefits of Rubber Mats for Garage Spaces

Rubber mats can instantly enhance your garage space. Rubber is highly durable, making it a long-lasting flooring choice, but it’s also affordable, so it’s ideal for flooring a larger space.

Rubber offers some anti-fatigue benefits and is more comfortable to stand on than a concrete garage floor. It can also help to maximize traction for enhanced safety, and can act as a buffer against a cold subfloor.

Rubber mats are also easy to install. Many can be dry laid, making for a DIY project that you can accomplish on your own. Covering an old, worn, or stained subfloor can revitalize your garage and enhance the space’s aesthetic.

While rubber offers many perks for garage spaces, there are certain situations where rubber flooring isn’t the best choice. For example, if you’re going to be parking vehicles in the garage, you should avoid using rubber floor mats in the areas where vehicles will be stored. Car tires can rip up and break rubber mats, and automobile oil can also cause rubber mats to break down. It’s best to use a PVC product for parking areas, instead.

But, rubber matting is great for other garage uses. Consider rubber when you’ll be using your garage as a gym, a game room, a space for relaxing, a workshop, and more.
