Garage Flooring

Thought we'd share one of our Garage Envy successes! Just goes to show you can turn a 2 Car Garage into stylish and usable storage space! Kevin and Leann's family is dirt bike racing family.  The name of their racing team is QFC Racing. They called Garage Envy because they needed the following:

• A clean, efficient way to organize the team members gear.
• Several storage options for tools and an area for bike repair.
• A place to display the team's winning trophies.
• A floor system that would hold up to a large amount of car and dirt bike traffic wear and tear.

Check out our new cabinet line, wall storage system, and beautiful garage flooring systems!

Ok…you’ve decided on the scope of work. You want garage cabinets, flooring, walls and accessories. But which ones? Is there a difference? Of course there is!!

When choosing what products to install remember that we’re talking about YOUR GARAGE! Super hot in the summer, freezing in the winter, wind blowing leaves and damp when rainy! Then there’s creepy crawlies and tiny furry creatures making your garage their permanent home. Dusty, dirty, cobwebby…you get my point.

First, before we think about any products, do you need construction services? Is your walls open to the studs? Do you have an actual ceiling or is it just a few 2×4 beams crisscrossed overhead? Do you have enough electrical outlets for your tools? tv? stereo? If you work a lot in the garage you may want to add insulation and drywall. Maybe even create a window. Now of course all these things are not necessary to install cabinets and wall systems, they are attached directly to the studs. But you will need a ceiling if you want to attach drywall or put up ceiling lofts.

For garage cabinets, consider what you will be using them for. Will you be storing heavy tools, files, paint cans, 5 years of tax receipts? If so, you will need sturdier cabinets then if you were just storing luggage, decorations and art supplies. You may want a workbench, but for crafts or mechanics? And then there is the look of the garage cabinets to consider as well.

For garage flooring, how often do you park your cars in at night? Does the oil leak? Does it get wet often? Or is it more of a hang out place for you and your kids? Do you have a work area in the garage? Is there already paint on the floor? Is the garage floor cracked or damaged?

For a garage wall system and accessories, what do you want to store on your garage walls? Bikes, tools, baskets, shelving, hooks, surfboards, car tires, garden tools? Do you want a seamless look or will the peg board or metal grids work for you? Are you walls concrete or wooden studs?
