The wrong flooring can be a headache to deal with, and you may encounter issues like a garage floor that shifts and is easily damaged. At Greatmats, we offer several products that are specifically designed for this purpose, allowing you to transform your garage into a space to store and display your motorcycle.
Let's take a look at what you need in quality garage motorcycle flooring, as well as some of the Greatmats products that may be right for you.
Qualities to Look for in Motorcycle Garage Flooring
Your motorcycle garage flooring needs to offer several specific qualities to be a worthwhile investment. Look for the following features in any flooring option that you consider.Traction
Adequate traction is a must-have for garage floor mats for motorcycles. Not only is traction important to your safety as you work in the space, but it also provides valuable grip when you need to move the motorbike about. You'll find that motorcycle parking mats are available with a wide variety of surface designs that offer different traction options.
Aesthetics
You'll also want to consider the overall appearance that you want your finished space to have. If you're creating a motorcycle showroom or other storage space where you can display your motorcycle, then you'll find plenty of eye-catching flooring options available. For a workspace where you'll be performing maintenance, a darker-colored motorcycle parking mat may be ideal, since it will help to conceal dirt and stains.
Strength
As you shop for motorcycle floor pads, keep in mind the strength of each product that you're considering. Motorcycles can be quite heavy, and some flooring may not be strong enough to support the weight of the vehicles long-term. Look for a product that is rated to support significant weight for the best results.
Installation Method
You'll find that, depending on the motorcycle floor pad that you're considering, different installation methods may be required. Many tiles can be easily cut to fit for a wall-to-wall installation. Think about the installation method that you would most prefer. Are you looking for tiles that interlock together and that can be removed again in the future? Can you accommodate a glue-down long-term installation?
Water, Oil, and Chemical Resistance
If you're looking for a motorcycle floor pad to create a space where you can work on your bike, then you'll likely need a product that is resistant to water, oil, and chemicals. These elements can degrade some types of flooring, such as rubber, so resistant flooring is a must if you'll be performing any sort of maintenance on your motorcycle.
Comfort
If you have plans of using your space both to store and to work on your motorcycle, then you'll want a comfortable flooring product. Many of our products offer shock absorption, and some offer anti-fatigue properties, too.
Durability
When considering your options for motorcycle mats, make sure that you choose a durable product. At Greatmats, we offer many quality mat options that are backed by long warranties and that are designed to last.
Budget
Take some time to think about your budget for the project. Many of these tiles require no professional installation, which can save you money and allow you to purchase a higher-quality product than you might otherwise be able to afford. At Greatmats, we offer mats and tiles at a variety of price points, so chances are we'll have a product that can accommodate your budget.
The right product will partially depend on your intended use and what you're looking for in terms of style, installation method, and more.

LonPlate Commercial Vinyl Rolls
Looking for something that will truly turn heads? LonPlate Commercial Vinyl Rolls make the perfect motorcycle show floor. Equipped with a steel plate surface design, this tough vinyl is skid-resistant and perfect for interior heavy-duty applications. Its surface texture helps to camouflage scuffing and wear, and the flooring is even microbial-resistant.
However, unlike other Greatmats' motorcycle flooring, installing LonPlate Commercial Vinyl flooring is not a do-it-yourself project. Installation requires a full glue-down and heat weld to the seam by a flooring professional. Although this is one of the pricier motorcycle floors we recommend (plus the cost of hiring a professional to install the floor), the quality of the flooring makes it well worth the price.
