Installation Guide

Common G-Floor® Garage Flooring Installations
Many customers inquire as to the best methods for installing G-Floor garage flooring. We have
provided the following diagrams which demonstrate common installations for a single garage parking
pad, double garage mat installation, or when three or more parking pads are being installed in the
same space.
Common accessories:
When using any sort of trim, it is advised to leave a gap between the interior edge of the slot and the
mat edge to allow for some floating of the mat due to temperature extremes. Do not overlap two
mats together as this constitutes a tripping hazard, traps moisture, and could create buckling or
warping.
Seam Tape 4” wide, single-sided adhesive tape, applied on the underside of the flooring, that
allows the customer to connect two pieces of flooring, but still lets the entire mat ‘float’ from
contraction and expansion due to temperature.
Center trim 4” wide double-slotted polyvinyl strip, meant to fit the ends of two mats
together and cover the edges to prevent a trip hazard at the seam. Center trim will also allow
the two mats to ‘float’ a bit to prevent buckling at the seam due to expansion or contraction
from temperature extremes.
Edge Trim 4” single-slotted polyvinyl strip which has a tapered edge to provide a more
complete look to a flooring mat.
Threshold Trim is a solid vinyl strip, which can be used with or without a G-Floor® mat.
Threshold trim is 4” polyvinyl strip with a tapered edge and is adhered to the entrance of the
garage to prevent drafts, accumulation of dirt, debris, bugs and water from getting into the
garage.
Adhesive on concrete G-Floor can be adhered to a concrete subfloor for a more permanent
installation. Use an acrylic or water-based pressure sensitive adhesive, with an aggressive
bond and permanent tack.
