There are plenty of garage flooring options on the market, but none as customizable and DIY friendly as garage floor tiles. What is the best garage floor tile?

Garage Tile Patterns
Vented Garage Tiles
Perhaps the most versatile of garage tile flooring, vented garage floor tiles give you the look and feel of hard plastic tiles, while still allowing for drainage. These bad boys are a tough, durable, and long-lasting garage floor covering. Our vented garage floor tiles are our most customizable garage flooring. These garage tiles come in the largest variety of colors.
Diamond Garage Tiles
Diamond top garage tiles feature a raised diamond pattern. This diamond garage floor pattern is something that is often seen in professional garages, so it will make your garage floor look just like the professionals’. Many of our diamond garage floor tiles are USA-made and offer a 10+ year warranty (not true of all products, so please check the specs on your particular product). Just like our vented garage tiles, the diamond garage tiles are designed to stand up to harsh garage conditions and give you a space where you can work on your cars or kick back and relax with your friends.
With a combination of both vented and diamond garage tiles, proudly manufactured in the USA, Hybrid-X Vented Diamond Garage Tiles feature a rugged diamond tread surface for enhanced traction, paired with a ventilated base that promotes air flow and rapid drainage, making them perfect for garages, workshops, or gym spaces where moisture control matters.
Coin Garage Tiles
Another option for textured, professional-looking garage tiles is our coin garage tile pattern. Our coin pattern Nitro Garage Tiles offer you the price point of a discount garage tile, but don’t be fooled: this is not cheap garage flooring as far as quality is concerned!
Our Coin Nitro Tiles offer the same quality in garage flooring that you would expect from RubberFlooringInc, and all Nitro tiles can interlock with other Nitro tiles (diamond and vented).
Smooth and Slate Garage Tiles
When texture would be more of a hindrance than a help, consider smooth or slate garage tiles. They’re designed for the busy garage with lots of rolling tool cabinets and chairs. These sleek tiles also come in unique styles, such as wood-look or stone-look patterns that will give your garage a classy upgrade.
Our Slate Flex Designer tiles offer the same wheel-friendly surface, with a bit of additional texture on top to give each tile some visual dimension. They’re made from a durable yet flexible blend of PVC plastic that’s designed to hold up to all the bumps and scratches you expect for a garage floor. And get this: they come with an incredible lifetime warranty. These babies are in it for the long haul.
Premium Garage Tiles with Traction Squares
The raised square pattern is one of the trendier looks in garage flooring today. You get the benefits of slip-resistance with a sleek, stylish texture. Choose a bold contrast between the tile and square color, such as blue and black, or a classic red and black combo. If a low-profile look is more your style, opt for a minimalist tile all in one color.
The raised squares, also known as traction squares, are made of a durable rubber, while the tile itself is an impact-resistant plastic. These materials combine for an optimized garage tile that is perfect for both wet and dry environments.
Color and Design Options for Garage Flooring
When it comes to garage tiles and customization, the possibilities are truly endless. You can keep it simple with one solid color or you can get creative with multiple colored garage tiles in patterns or checkers - the choice is yours. If you need a little inspiration, many of our customers have created some sensational garage floor looks.
We recommend you browse through the review photos and see if there’s a garage floor design that catches your eye. Want to get creative, but need help? Just hit us up, and we’ll get one of our most creative flooring specialists on board to help you out.

Garage Tile Flooring Installation
Most garage flooring is designed for simple installation, because nobody wants to spend time installing a complicated floor. That said, there are still a few different installation methods you should keep in mind as you do your shopping.
Interlocking Garage Floor Tiles
Interlocking garage tiles are like pieces of a really big, really easy puzzle. The edges are designed to interlock when you press them together. Many tiles also come with edge pieces, allowing you to create smooth, finished edges where needed.
If one tile is ever damaged, you can easily pull up the tiles in that row and replace it with a new tile before laying everything back again.
Peg and Loop Garage Floor Tiles
Peg and loop tiles, also known as hook and loop tiles, are similar to interlocking tiles. Two adjacent sides of the tile will have loops, and the other two adjacent sides will have pegs that snap securely into the loops.
To install, start at the left corner of the room, and place an entire row of tiles with the loop side facing in. The next row will secure to the first tiles using the peg side. Just like interlocking tiles, you can replace damaged tiles by pulling up a row, replacing the tile, and laying them all back.
Garage Tile FAQs
Q: Our garage is graded toward a center drain. Do you think the tiles will work?
A: Our Nitro Tiles would work perfectly for your sloped garage. Many people will use our Vented tiles over the drain to allow easy access for surface water to get to the drain. These tiles do allow water and other liquids to easily flow through the floor and under to any drains or out of the garage.
Q: Do I need to glue them down?
A: Generally, no, most garage tiles use an interlocking system that snaps together. This allows for easy installation and removal without adhesives.
Q: Can I install them myself?
A: Yes. Garage floor tiles are a DIY-friendly flooring option. All you typically need is a rubber mallet, utility knife, and measuring tape.
Q: Can I pressure wash them?
A: You can, but it's often easier if you mop or hose them down. Though if you use a pressure washer, avoid holding the nozzle too close to prevent damage.
Q: Do garage floor tiles help with temperature control?
A: Yes, they provide a barrier between your feet and the cold concrete, making the space more comfortable in both summer and winter.
Q: What if one tile gets damaged?
A: No problem, just pop it out and replace it in seconds. You'll never have to redo your whole floor.
Q: How easy are they to clean?
A: Very easy! Just sweep, hose off, or mop. Even stubborn stains wipe away with mild soap and water.
Q: Do I need to prep my floor first?
A: Just sweep and make sure it's dry. That's it, you'll be enjoying your new floor in no time.
Q: Can I use them outside?
A: Yes, just choose our UV-resistant tiles for outdoor spaces like patios, workshops, or driveways.
Q: What are the requirements to use motorcycle lifts on these tiles?
A: We recommend placing a piece of plywood or a metal sheet between the jack and the floor. This will prevent the tiles from breaking under the jack.
Q: Will these tiles separate (break apart) from the movement of cars entering/leaving the garage?
A: These tiles have a great interlock, but sharp turns or fast vehicle movement could cause some movement if excessive.
Customer Reviews
Diamond Grid-Loc Garage Floor Tiles™
"Just did my garage and it came out great. The floor is if good quality, easy to install and reasonably priced. I'm very happy with the way it came out"
- Robert
"I love love love this floor! I researched for over a year and got every sample. I was focused on the vented nitro but it is uncomfortable on your bare or stocking feet. The coin flex is so comfortable! I’ve had it for a year and it holds up great to our SUV and motorcycle. ...... I recently had some road tar that was tracked in on the SUV tires but it cleaned right up with some WD-40 and a rag. This flooring has transformed my garage into another room in the house. I can’t say enough great things about it. Installation was easy and I haven’t had any issues with buckling. Love it! Get it!"
