Armor All Garage Floor Mat (17' x 7'4"), Waterproof Garage Flooring, Absorbent, Premium Oil Spill Resistant Garage Pad, Durable, Protects Surfaces (Includes Double Sided Tape) (USA Made)

My wife and I recently epoxied our garage floor ourselves, it was a ton of work but worth it! Even the best epoxies will start yellowing where the tires drive over time, leaving yellow tracks in the garage. To combat this, I bought this mat. The pictures were taken just minutes after pulling it from the box an laying it out. Several reviews state they had trouble with the corners not laying flat, using double sided tape, being too thin, ect. I didn't have any of these issues, nor do I think it is too thin for the purpose I purchased it for. As long as you don't try to adjust your steering wheel too much the mat will stay in place. I actually like that it is thin, it makes it easy to handle and lay out to your liking. The rubber backing is nice and seems to have a nice grip on the epoxy. Time will tell how this holds up over winters, but again what I'm really after is protecting the epoxy from direct tire contact. If it holds up I'll purchase another one for the other side of the garage. At that time I'll also update this review. UPDATE: After having the first one all summer, I purchased a second one for the other side of the garage. I thought it did a great job protecting the epoxy finish, as you can see I added a picture with the first mat I purchased pulled up, showing the bare floor. It is true you can power wash the mat out as advertised, I just did this earlier today and it cleaned up nicely. You can tell the difference from the mat I had over the summer as opposed to the one I just bought as the first one has faded a little, not a deal breaker though. The real test will be seeing how these hold up over the winter. I'll post another update in the spring when I clean them out. My recommendation still stands. SECOND UPDATE: I still like these mats very much. Although after two winters I had a hard time getting all the midwest salt out of them with my power washer since they do absorb a ton of water. Wear and tear and multiple washes seemed to wear out the mat and it certainly didn't look as nice as when it was new. Anyone dealing with heavy municipal salt in the winter is going to have to put more work into maintaining these mats. If you live in a climate that mostly sees rain you'll get far more life out of it. I still like them and I recently purchased a replacement. At the end of the day the mat takes the wear and tear and helps protect the epoxy which is ultimately what I wanted.

Great Product! Works Great! Highly Recommend!

I bought 2 large mats. I've been cleaning out my unfinished ghetto looking garage, and these mats made a huge difference. My garage looks way better. But I did have to put quite a bit of work into setting them up. First I trimmed 16 inches off the length. It was easy to trim with box cutters a yardstick and measuring tape, and that edge looks great. I gave these mats 4 stars instead of 5 because there was a huge crease in both mats and smaller creases too. They wouldn't lay flat with the creases. I used a steamer, which worked great to get the creases out and they now lay flat. The tape provided is super sticky to bind the mats to the cement underneath. The only flaw in the appearance are little waves that I couldn't smooth out on one edge. However, overall I think it looks great and would definitely recommend this mat. However, you may need to put in some hours to make it look great. I included a picture that has 1 mat steamed and one mat unsteamed side by side. A picture of both steamed and finished. A picture showing the little waves on one edge. And a picture showing the completed look.

This product is great! I have an older garage with cracks in the floor + stains. I didn’t have the time or money to do an epoxy floor, it’s a 3 car garage so everything was a big chunk of money, but it looked terrible + was always dirty. So I tried this. It’s easy to cut (thin) i loved it so much, I ordered another roll + I did my entire garage floor with it. The tape is super adhesive (make sure you have it in the correct place because once it’s down it’s not moving) I wish I would have used more tape, a couple of spots wrinkle up under the bikes. So I would use it in the center in addition to the edges that they recommended. It keeps my garage cleaner, has held up to my vacuuming every day, looks good, was less expensive than all the other options I found, makes it easier for me to turn my motorcycles around in the garage without losing my footing unlike an area rug which can slide. It was easy to install. I would for sure buy this again! Awesome product!

I painted my garage floors the cheap way with basic cement paint and bought paint chips for added looks. The problem is hot tires from driving on the roads and winter gunk will wear off the paint. This garage carpet rug with rubber backing is affordable and will provide the protection of both. So I have $250 total into the garage paint, paint chips and Carpet rug compared to a pro paint of $4000 plus. After winter is over you can gently use a power washer and broom or squeegee to clean the carpet to the outside. Also a few mentioned wrinkles and folds when receiving. A easy fix after leaving it lay flat on floor for a few days is take a small towel and a steam clothes iron and steam out those real quick. My box came without the double sided tape but wasn’t planning on using it based on other reviewers say g buy double sided better quality carpet tape. My local Menards had indoor/outdoor carpet tape and used that for the entire underside. Directions say place tape in certain spots which might do and they don’t send enough tape for entire perimeter then you won’t wish you had later and have to fix anything. Start with tape on one short end, then do one long side, then other long slide and finish with other short end.

Just a couple of things to take note of: The photo of it's packaging is incorrect. It actually came rolled up and folded in half which is actually better than the multi-fold. However, in my photos below you will see that even rolled up, that crease down the middle is very difficult to get rid of. I laid out the carpet for 2 days first before laying it down and the crease was still there so I tried to just pull the carpet tighter before taping it down but as you can see, it's still pretty obvious. Speaking of taping it down... the tape they send with it is absolutely terrible! Maybe I just rolls that had been sitting in the hot sun for 10 years but as you can see in the photos, the edges wouldn't come apart cleanly and it barely stuck to the concrete (even though it says "concrete" in the description). The stickiness is very weak and I ended up purchasing heavy duty double stick tape on my own. I threw the rest of this tape away. So if you were expecting to save money because the tape is included, don't count on it. Between the 3 rolls, one was about 2 inches longer which wasn't an issue for my project but just be aware. As for durability, I've now had it down for a week and we park 2 cars on it. I will say that it works very well. I can even turn the steering wheel and it doesn't affect the carpet. Overall, you get what you pay for. The cost to epoxy my garage floor was close to $3,000 so only spending $300 was quite the bargain. Just do yourself a favor and order different double stick tape at the same time and if possible, steam out the wrinkles first before applying it to your ground.

We were looking for a rug to ensure that we did not slop on our garage floor when it got wet and looked good in the process. This product was great, the double sided tape worked perfectly on our epoxy painted garage floor and was easy to install. The manufacturer answered all of our questions ands very helpful. They can supply extra double sided tape if needed.

Buy it great product , easy to use. The material is lightweight enough for one person to maneuver and install the double sided tape or Velcro option correctly and it will last a really long time. Great product thank you so much.
