Swapping Painted for Carpeted Garage Floors – New Brighton

The Brief

This homeowner in New Brighton, Christchurch, had high hopes for their garage floor when they painted it, but reality had other plans. Not long after the paint went down, it started peeling away in patches, especially where the car tyres sat.

The culprit? A chemical reaction between the rubber compounds in the tyres and the paint itself. It didn’t take long before the garage floor looked like a Dalmatian: patchy and spotty. Fed up with the peeling paint and the constant upkeep, the homeowner was looking for a solution that could handle the daily demands of a busy garage without falling apart.

The GaragePro Solution

We knew that a simple repaint wouldn’t cut it. This garage needed a long-lasting solution that could withstand hot tyres, daily use, and all the messes that come with an active household. Here’s how we did it:

Surface Preparation:

Before any carpet could be installed, we had to tackle the peeling paint. Using a 9-inch industrial grinder and dust extractor, we completely removed the old paint. Proper surface preparation is crucial for any floor restoration project to prevent peeling, uneven surfaces, and potential damage in the future.

Installing the Garage Carpet:

Once prepped, we installed a heavy-duty garage carpet with a perfect custom-cut fit – designed to deal with the rough and tumble life of the garage.

Finishing Touches and Clean-Up:

We made sure the carpet was securely fitted with clean edges, leaving no trip hazards. The dust extraction system kept the workspace clean, ensuring minimal clean-up afterwards.
