Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

  1) For best result, unpack and install product as soon as possible after delivery. The sooner product is removed from packaging, the sooner it will lay flat on garage floor after installation.

  2) Sweep and clean garage floor. Wipe up any oil and chemicals from floor before rolling out product.

  3) Unroll product on garage floor. Edges may be butted together or overlapped (see Overlap Note below) for seamless appearance and floor protection. Initially, the Garage Floor Protector will have curl marks due to being rolled on a core or folded in a box for shipment (this is normal).
  Overlap note: Ribbed Flooring that is 10' wide, has an "overlap flap" (approximately 1.5" to 2" wide) of unpatterned material running down BOTH sides. Flooring that is 9' wide or less, has no "overlap flap". Click here for overlap photo.
  Unroll option 1: For lay flat results, unroll Garage Floor Protector in the sunlight on a clean driveway. The warmer the conditions the quicker curls will straighten out and lay flat. Use wide push broom, push air out from center and work your way out (side to side and length to length) Repeat if necessary. Place on garage floor when desired and repeat broom out.
  Unroll option 2: If you wish to unroll product directly on the garage floor, sweep garage floor clean of debris and unroll Garage Floor Protector. For best results, start unrolling process at the garage entrance; finishing at the back of the garage. Note: In cool to cold conditions it may take 72+ hours for most curl marks to lay flat depending on the temperature. Be sure to push out air with broom (It is OK to park your car on it during this time).

  4) Allow mat to relax and lay flat. For custom fit, allow product to relax in place before trimming around edges and corners.
  Note: If product is used under extreme temperature conditions, such as direct sunlight or unheated garages, the product may expand or contract as much as 2% after laying flat. For custom fit, always allow product to relax before trimming around edges and corners.

  5) Trim edges with sharp scissors or utility knife.

  6) Taping around edges is not necessary. This product can expand or contract up to 2% with temperature changes. It is best if the product is allowed to 'float' freely on the floor. If you choose to tape the seam between two floor protectors, we recommend using indoor-outdoor carpet tape.
  Note: Due to the manufacturing process, patterns of two pieces of flooring may not match or align exactly along the seam when two mats are laid side by side.

CAUTION—SAFETY WARNING: Any floor surface can become slippery in the presence of moisture and debris. Proper care and cleaning of vinyl flooring will reduce the likelihood of slips and falls. Wipe up any oil, chemicals, or other fluids that may drip or leak from vehicle to prevent hazardous, slippery conditions. Always dispose of hazardous materials properly.


G-FLOOR^™ Roll-Out Garage Flooring Wall to Wall Professional Installation

1) Make sure garage floor is clean, dry and free of any objects.

2) Sweep dirt out of garage and remove any lumps or excess cement/debris that might cause a bump on the surface of the floor.

3) For best results, let G-Floor material set and relax in driveway for as long as possible to reduce instances of material expansion/contraction before any tape down or trimming occurs. 4) Position G-Floor at front of garage, one roll at a time.

5) Roll floor out - front to back - and position carefully. 6) Use a broom to push out any air underneath floor.

-- USE EITHER THE OVERLAP METHOD -- 7) When installing multiple rolls wall-to-wall, overlap rolls (6" or more) and proceed to step 8. -- OR THE BUTT-JOINT METHOD -- 7a) Trim edges to continue floor pattern by forming a tight butt joint between rolls. 7b) Use a two-sided waterproof tape to bond rolls together to form one continuous floor. Fold back edge of roll #1. Attach tape along the edge of roll #1 (leaving 1/2" of tape exposed) and fold back into position. DO NOT remove protective backing from underside of tape. 7c) Fold back roll #2 and carefully align along edge of roll #1. Continue process for each roll. DO NOT tape G-Floor to concrete floor. Let G-Floor "float" between exterior walls to allow for expansion and contraction.

-- TAPE-DOWN OF FRONT EDGE IS OPTIONAL -- 8) Make a straight chalk line to mark along threshold edge. Use two-sided water proof tape to secure front entry edge of G-Floor to concrete floor. NOTE: Apply tape approximately 3" from front edge of mat to allow for some contraction without tape becoming visible.

9) Trim floor to fit around poles, boards, etc. using utility/rug knife or scissors. 10) Trim edges along exterior walls leaving 1/2" gap to allow for expeansion/contraction.
