New or Old? Transform Your Average Garage into a Showplace (ARA) Has the one-car garage become almost extinct? No one would think of building a new home with anything smaller than a two-car garage and in many neighbourhoods a three-car garage is the norm. The garage has become an extension of peoples homes says Don Sneed, president of Better Life Technology, a company that specializes in easy-to-install garage protective flooring. In addition to being bigger than they were a few years ago, garages are also becoming showplaces; with painted walls, custom storage and even fancy floors. In fact, there are now companies devoted to helping your garage clean up its act. If you'd like to keep your new garage looking new, or give your older garage a facelift, start at the bottom, so to speak, with the G-Floor roll out garage flooring. The coin-patterned flooring is easy to install, durable and attractive. Created by Don's son Brett, G-Floor is made of specially formulated polyvinyl; it hides cracks and stains while protecting floors from oil, battery acid, grease, brake fluid, antifreeze, salt, mud and other dirt that finds its way into the garage. G-Floor puts a moisture and vapour barrier between the cold concrete and parked vehicles, making it a favourite for car buffs. Bare concrete floors are functional, but not very attractive -- they crack and show stains. Anyone who lives in a colder climate knows what a mess winter snow, slush and salt can make - both in the garage - and in the house, says Sneed. Because the G-Floor resists mildew and rot it is perfect for damp areas, unlike carpeting. Not only does G-Floor flooring beautify your garage, it also helps keep dirt outside, where it belongs. G-Floor comes in six attractive colors and installation is a snap. Simply unroll and cut to size using a utility knife, overlapping or butting the flooring together for seamless protection and a custom fit; no adhesives are required. The flooring comes in two widths, 8 feet and 10 feet wide, and a typical garage will require two or three rolls of flooring. To clean, simply hose off the floor. Once you have finished sprucing up your garage, consider other uses for the G-Floor flooring. The coin pattern looks great in other areas of the house, such as a workshop, laundry room, basement storage room, even a wine cellar. G-Floor is great for these areas, since it provides cushioning to make it more comfortable to stand and walk on and offers impact resistance in case of dropped tools or wine bottles; the surface pattern lets spills be wiped up easily. G-Floor is made in the United States and carries a 5-year limited warranty. Better Life Technology products are now available at Garage Works. Courtesy of ARA Content |
