How to Insulate and Level a Garage Floor

It just seems far superior to a bare garage concrete floor. I want one! And that says a lot since I don't own a house to use build this super-floor.

Hi, Ron, Watched video on installing floor in garage/workshop. You didn't finish the project. What can be done to finish panels at the garage door opening? If you want to move your power tools outside for any reason, there will be a lip at the edge of almost an inch. This will be a problem with a heavy saw with small wheels to overcome. Is there a tapered end system that can be used with the last few pieces of installed subfloor? Also interested in your lifting system with wheels that you have installed on your table saw shown in the beginning of the film. Thanks for the many great ideas/tips! . . . Charlie Strickler.

Hey Ron what was that blue top on your trash can that you were cutting on? Is it just another flat surface for your shop or is it for cutting over a trash can.

What's the R value of the subflooring panels? Is there any additional R value to the roll-out stuff as well? Also, how well do your tools roll now that it's on that roll-out stuff, compared to bare concrete? I'd also be very interested in a video showing and describing any nifty wheel setups (like that one you used your foot to raise the tool near the beginning of the video) you used when making your tools mobile. Thanks!

I installed this flooring in the work shop part of my pole barn about 3 years ago. It was the best thing I have done in a long time. Not only does it make standing for long periods more confortable, my feet do not get cold anymore ( I live in Michigan). I purchased the panels from Menards, Lowes and Home Depot when they were on sale, usually about 20 panels at a time. The panels cost around 5-6 dollars.

Looks great. I had a center drain hole in my garage as during the winter here in Michigan we get alot of snow and with two cars you need a drain. How do you accommidate for the water disposal in the drain. Will the product hold up to alot of water as there is no way to get the snow and water off the bottom of the car before putting it in the garage?

What did you do to finish the edge near the over-head door and how much weight can it support? I have an old 1960 Chevy that I keep in my garage, will it support it? Thanks great project!

Hey Ron, I would still need to park my car in my garage, can this product withstand a car sitting in the same place for years. Also, I live in Wisconsin - How would the rolled out product hold up to salt dripping off the car? Love your tips - Please keep sending them! Ray

Great look and doable. My question is, how did you finish the edge where the garage door comes down to prevent damage to the new floor? Noticed it looked a little "raw" in the video. Love all your handy advice and videos.

Really a nice floor system. I noticed you had to deal with leveling issues while installing the subfloor panels. Just curious, how much leveling did you have to do over the whole garage floor, and how many of those adjuster add-ons did you use to flatten the flooring? I have seen these panel systems at both Home Depot & Menards. Thanks, Ron.

My husband is a mechanic and his shop has a totally cement floor. His brother, however, has a shop that was insulated PRIOR to pouring cement and is about 99% warmer!! Is there any way to insulate my hubby's floor without tearing up the current floor??? The product, if any, would need to be able to handle: oil, tools, etc. for wearing, etc. Thanks, Teresa
