Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you’re looking for a durable garage floor option that’s a little more interesting than the typical concrete slab most of us have sitting under our cars, you might check into modular tile systems that are specifically designed to withstand the wear and tear of being driven over and having oil spilled on them.

These garage floor tiles from SwissTrax come in several styles and unlike epoxy flooring, they can easily be installed by the homeowner. You can mix and match colors and styles to create a unique (and colorful) floor that will stand up over time (a 12 year warranty is included). If something does happen to a section, you’d just need to replace a couple of tiles instead of redoing the entire floor.

Some of the styles, such as Ribtrax, feature an open profile (holes), so they’ll drain.

And for those who like environmentally friendly home improvements, the garage floor tiles are made from 100% prime metal which means you can recycle them at the end of their lifetime. Also the company says they use zero waste in the manufacturing process and choose polypropylene over PVCs.
