Choosing the Right Ski Storage Room Flooring
The flooring that you install in your ski storage room directly affects that room’s function. If you’re creating a room in your garage, chances are you will need to upgrade that flooring to be better suited to your gear storage needs.Ski gear is sure to carry plenty of snow into your room, and as that snow melts, you will need a plan for how to handle the resulting water. Your flooring needs to be able to withstand that frequent moisture, and it’s also important that it can help to channel that water away, rather than letting puddles form.
Your floor also needs to provide traction, even when it’s wet, to keep skiers safe. Look for a product that will keep feet up and out of any water for increased safety.
Don’t forget about durability, too. It’s important to choose a flooring product that can withstand the high amount of foot traffic the room will see, especially if the room will be in a commercial space.
Interlocking drainage mats meet all of these criteria. Not only do these mats help to channel away water and keep skiers safe, but they’re easy to install and remove for cleaning if needed.
Additional Tips for Your DIY Ski Storage Room
As you plan out your flooring, it’s also important to plan out other ideas for your room. Installing ski lockers can keep your gear neat and organized, and they offer additional security that’s ideal for a rental property or a commercial property, like a ski lodge.Consider additional ways to keep gear up and off of the ground. Boot racks, freestanding storage units, and horizontal shelves offer additional places to store and organize gear for a neater, more accessible room.
Don’t forget to add plenty of hooks to hold bags, hats, helmets, and more. You might want to invest in items like boots and glove heaters, too.
