Garage Baby / Garage Floors / Modular Tile

A floor that floats, and that you can change.

Interlocking tile laid over your slab instead of bonded to it. Designed, cut and detailed, and repairable one section at a time.

Compare with coated floors

Tile gets designed, not just installed.

This is the part that separates a tile floor that looks deliberate from one that looks like a box of tiles went down on a Saturday.

Layout comes first INCLUDED

We measure the garage and draw the floor before anything gets ordered. Where the pattern starts, where it lands at the door, how it meets the step into the house. Those decisions are made on paper, not on your slab.

Zones and borders INCLUDED

A different colour where the cars park, a border running the perimeter, a marked area around the workbench. Tile lets you draw the room in the floor, and most people use less of that than they could.

Curated tile selection INCLUDED

A manageable set of approved tiles rather than a catalogue with four hundred options. Fewer decisions, and every one of them is a tile we're willing to stand behind.

Perimeter cuts and transitions STANDARD

Door thresholds, ramps, columns, drains, stairs, cabinet bases. The edges are where a tile floor is judged, and they take the longest. A floor with sloppy cuts reads cheap no matter what the tiles cost.

Expansion clearance STANDARD

A floating floor has to be allowed to move. We leave the clearance it needs at the perimeter and we don't pin it down, because a pinned floating floor buckles.

Spare tiles INCLUDED

We leave you matching spares from the same run. Years from now, a repair still matches, which is the entire point of a modular floor.

Four reasons people choose tile over a coating.

None of them is price. Tile isn't the budget version of a coated floor and we won't sell it that way.

Your slab doesn't decide

Nothing is being bonded, so the condition of the concrete underneath matters far less than it does with a coating. On a difficult slab, tile is often the better answer.

It's repairable

Drop a jack, stain a section, change your mind about the pattern. We swap tiles, not the floor.

It's fast

No cure time, because nothing is curing. The floor goes down and you park on it that night.

It's a design surface

Patterns, borders and zones that a poured floor can't do without a lot of money and masking.

Where tile isn't the answer.

It will not fix a water problem. If you've got active intrusion, a drainage issue or standing water, that gets sorted before we build anything. Putting a beautiful floor over a wet slab hides it for a while and costs you more later. We'd rather lose the job than do that.

Sequencing matters if cabinets are coming. A floating floor and a cabinet run installed in the wrong order fight each other. If storage is part of the plan, we work out the order first. That's one of the reasons we'd rather design the whole garage at once.

Two warranties, and we keep them separate. The manufacturer covers the tile. We cover the installation. Merging those into one invented lifetime promise would mean guaranteeing something we don't control, so we don't.

Cleaning. Sweep it, hose it, mop it. Tiles lift out if you ever need to get underneath, which is something no coated floor can offer.

Modular tile questions.

What happens if I damage a section?
We swap those tiles. Not the floor, not the area around it, just the tiles that are damaged. We leave you matching spares when we finish for exactly this reason, so a repair years from now still matches.
Can I park on it the same day?
Usually yes. There's no cure time because nothing is being bonded or coated. The floor goes down and it's ready.
Will it move around under a car?
No. The tiles lock together into one sheet and the weight of the floor plus the interlock holds it. What it does need is a small expansion gap at the perimeter, because a floating floor has to be allowed to move with temperature. We don't pin it down.
My garage takes on water sometimes. Will tile fix that?
No, and we'd rather say so than take the job. A floating floor over a wet slab hides the problem for a while and costs you more later. Sort the water out first, then we'll build you a floor.
Is it cheaper than a coated floor?
Not automatically, and it isn't the budget option. It's a different floor that solves different problems. Depending on the tile, the size of the garage and how much design goes into the layout, it can land either side of a coated floor.
Want one continuous surface instead? A coated floor bonds to the concrete and gives you a seamless finish with nothing to lift or move. Different floor, different reasons. SEE COATED FLOORS
