Garage rolls are easy to install. They are large and heavy enough to lie flat under their own weight, so you don’t need to tape or glue them down.

Some rules of thumb when installing these rolls:

1. Let the roll acclimate. Make sure you unroll the floor for at least 24 hours.
2. Acclimate the roll upside down. This will help to take the curl out of the roll. You may have to put some weight on the roll to get out all of the curls and waves.
3. If flooring a whole room, leave at least a ¼” expansion gap between the roll and any walls or obstacles. These floors will expand and contract with changes in temperature, so make sure you leave enough room for the floor to expand.
4. Install during the warmest part
5. Make all cuts with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.

If you find the mat is moving when driving in and out of your driveway, you can use a pressure-sensitive adhesive around the edge of the mat or double-sided tape.

Garage rolls are very easy to maintain, so you can spend more time using your garage and less time worrying about the floor. Check out these tips for different types of garage rolls.

Vinyl Garage Rolls

To clean off a vinyl roll, simply use a broom or garden hose or mop with a mild soap and water solution. One issue that may occur with these rolls is staining. There are a couple of possible causes for this.

• Street tar: This will make marks on any surface. Street tar staining is easily fixed with a cleaner called Purple Power.
• Tire stains: Not to be confused with street tar, this staining is caused by certain types of tires. Typically these are higher-end sport tires that cause a chemical reaction with the floor, creating a nasty, yellow stain that cannot be cleaned. Tire stains are most obvious in lighter colors, so a good solution is to get a black or darker colored mat that won’t show the staining.

Carpet Garage Rolls

To keep your carpet clean, make sure to vacuum frequently, preferably with a vacuum that doesn’t have a beater bar. Any spills should be blotted up immediately with an absorbent cotton cloth and clean water. Periodic deep cleans with a hot water extraction-cleaning machine (I.E. carpet cleaner) can keep your flooring looking great for longer.
