Garage vynil?

Sparkly stuff could be Altro type slip resistant vinyl. We put it in bars & kitchens. Excellent product comes in different thicknesses.

I did see some large heavy duty vinyl designed for garages last time I was in Costco.

How easy is it to get a Costco card? I'm needing tyres soon as well.

If you want the ultimate garage floor, I've got nothing but good words to say about this stuff:-

We had this laid in our machine shop when we moved into the building 9 years ago. It gets a quick clean once a week and comes up like new every time. Superb.

Cheers,

As Ade B has said, the sparkly stuff is prob some kind of safety flooring, not cheap and needs to be stuck all over. As for normal vinyl, should be ok but again would be better stuck down to stop any movement. You will also need to finish the front edge off with a lino edge or cover strip.
Hope this helps. kurt.
ps if you need any more help let me know

Consider a heat problem with vinyl as well as it may lift once you've parked the car over it.

Could consider these people http://www.duragarages.com/shop/Chequer_Plate_Effect_PVC_Floor_Tiles/2093.aspx

If you search that site I'm sure that they've still got a 3D design tool on there where you can enter the dimensions of your garage and get a visual of it as well as how much it will cost you.

The reason I mentioned a potential heat problem is that even using these relatively thick tiles, I still got a 'lift' on one or two tiles but Dura were excellent and provided, FOC, an aluminium plate that is placed under the car. If you're pretty handy at DIY then you can install yourself like me and if ever the time comes to move, take them with you. This was the finished effect in my garage:

Thanks for the other suggestions guys but cost rules out the luxury of fancy interlocking tiles or epoxy screed. Just want a cheap and cheerful facelift for the floor. Paint would be the easy answer I s'pose but saw a roll of vinyl stuff at the market yesterday and wondered???????

There is some good stuff on here. I just want same as Druk, cheap, simple and something I wont go **** over - in winter, when Im tramping in the wet stuff. Guess its paint for me. Bare concrete left under the wheels to soak up the wet stuff.

Altro is very good I have it on the floor of my new wet room

I have used old carpet (rubber backed & lounge quality too) for several years now, quite successfully.It is renewed every 2 years or so.
Basically it just leaves 4 damp patches where the wheels rest.The car being "detailed"
only takes 3 minutes to dry off with a microfibre cloth (down to waist height only) when
heavily rain soaked.
Previously I used Wickes garage floor paint (but didn`t use the relevant primer) on the 20 year old concrete & it lifted in 18 months.
