Rubber Mat Flooring For The Garage Workshop

  • In this video I install rubber mats to the floor of my garage workshop. The main reason I chose to do this was to ease the fatigue and aches and pains in my feet, legs and ankles from standing on a concrete floor all day. But it will also help to prevent damage to tools if they drop on the floor, plus it helps insulate the floor and creates better acoustics in the room. It also hides the old, ugly concrete floor. I used two glue / adhesives in the video, one of which worked well and one of which failed miserably due to temperature issues! The rubber matting I chose is relatively inexpensive, and I explain in the video where I got it, why I chose it, the good and bad things about it as well as the total costs of the project.
    This is the rubber matting that I got, ribbed, 3mm thick, available in various lengths: geni.us/yvGCkq6 (Amazon UK)
    Here's a "checker" design as an alternative to the ribbed, same supplier: geni.us/BGMtc (Amazon UK)
    There is also a "penny" design as an alternative to the ribbed, same supplier: geni.us/HdSr (Amazon UK)
    Spray adhesive: the stuff by Everbuild is what I used initially (before I went to ScrewFix to get the No Nonsense stuff which is exactly the same product as far as I can tell) : geni.us/WJiABR (Amazon UK)
    Adhesive Trowel (A2): geni.us/CRPj0 (Amazon UK)

    Just a quick tip... If each mat slightly overlaps you can cut through the two at the same time making for a perfect joint. Even if you cut through the two with a wavy line they will still match up perfectly. (Works on carpet two) ... :)

    The thing to look out for with spray adhesive is that it wants to sweat when not fully dry, and for the mapei adhesive, it has to be 18, degrees work with acrylic adhesive daily and when it's below 18 degrees, watching paint dry is quicker then this type of glue haha, what we tend to do, we have 4, 2kw heaters with fans in it the air movement is the quickest drying method

    My shop is my 30x30 foot basement. Because the concrete floor has radiant heating, I didn't want to cover with matting. I quickly discovered my knees and back would hurt after long periods of working in the shop. So, I invested in some good orthotic shoe inserts that are designed for leg and back pain. I inserted them into some good Rockport walking shoes. No more leg are back pain. I did put down a short rubber runner directly in front of my bench to protect tools for breaking when I drop them.

    I used spray adhesive to fix rubber matting to a plywood ramp for a mobility scooter. Been down six months (outside) with no lifting or rucks. Works a treat. It was originally stapled but one of our dogs kindly tore it up and brought it inside.

  • @colinbates9563
    @colinbates9563 4 роки тому +2

    Water based acrylics have a “minimum film forming” temperature, if you don’t exceed this they remain milky in appearance and don’t dry, above this temperature they will become clear and dry correctly. For varnishes/ lacquers if they do not exceed this temperature they will not dry nor achieve their correct film properties such as hardness and resistances. Although the air temperature in your shop can be raised it takes a longer for the floor to reach that temperature so although it may feel warmer and above the temperature recommended by the adhesive supplier the floor remains below and adhesive applied to this will not dry. Temperature, humidity and air movement are crucial for any coatings especially water based.

    @woodworkerroyer8497 4 роки тому

    I've actually seen a really good idea from a machinist to just take 1x2s and nail them together so they formed a kind of mesh mat.
    It worked well and he said it was better than walking on a concrete floor, cheaper than rubber mats, and could be picked up to clean or move machinery.
    I think it would be a great way to cover a floor, but the correct way would be to put firring strips down and then cover them with plywood. Only downside is cost and somewhat limited weight capacity. The weight isn't an issue with the tools you have now, maybe not even full on cabinet saws.

    All that sweeping and mucking about with dust - get a manvac like the Karcher WD3: it does it all. You could vac the floor, mop it and suck that up too. As a workshop/ site vac you can plug your corded tool into it and it'll switch on when you trigger the tool. Sucks like a good'un; one of the best buys EVER. Very, very undermarketed by Karcher and only costs £125.... cheaper than a Toby, which has only got stickers. The WD3 is the vac you want for that maiden flight to Mars. (Not sponsored)

Question: instead of sweeping up before laying the rubber down, why not use a shop-vac? :-)

      Hi Brian, I have the same saw and became frustrated by the riving knife exceeding the height of the blade....my solution was just to cut it down to the desired height with my angle grinder (UA-cam vids tell you about the QUICK riving knife removal 'trick', incase you aren't familiar. Now cut down, the riving knife works great. Hope that helps and saves a bit of cash :)

      Thanks. That’s exactly what I planned on doing. I’m actually free tomorrow, so think I’ll get the grinder out

    Do you think attaching a layer of hardboard to the concrete floor would have helped with the gluiing? Another expense I know but the Mattei could well have worked and save the £50
    On spray glue?

    How did you finish/seal under the door entry piece? I ask as I ran into all sorts of issues with not doing enough for that for one of my doors into my garage and I had water come in under it which caused quite a mess. Good job. :)

      it's about 500mm in from the front roller door, so it is totally dry

    It doesn't seem like this would offer all that much padding for fatigue relief. I probably would have either bought some station mats or just some supportive shoes -- or even just some close-toed Crocs or insoles. I don't feel like anything short of 12 mm or a floating floor is really going to reduce the impact of concrete on the joints.

    Wouldn't the type of rubber matting like they have in gyms, of been easier to put down and thicker underfoot?

      Ann Martin I have this as my garage is part workshop part gym. I have 18mm horse stall mats which are heavy enough not to need adhesive: a 6x4foot Mat is something like 20kg. The downside is they are very expensive (about £30-45 each depending on the quantity).

    • @RagnBoneBrown

      too expensive unfortunately
