Stone carpet and modular PVC tiles. Examples of coatings for garage and car spike protection

Anyone who has poured and properly smoothed concrete floors in a garage knows that over time, car spikes scratch the surface. Even if you pour polymer industrial floors, traces will remain on this wear-resistant coating:

In addition, such a coating is very slippery in winter. You need a surface on which scratches are not visible. One of these methods is the technology of applying stone chips, small pebbles (mixed with polyurethane glue) to concrete.

The surface is not only mechanically scratch-resistant, but beautiful. Natural materials are always pleasing to the eye. It's not a problem to get stone chips. If desired, you can order with delivery by a transport company. Or it will be offered by companies who are engaged in landscape design. Need polyurethane glue:

If you want to get a drainage coating, you need to add a minimum of glue, only for gluing the stones. And there will be voids between the stones. But if you add more glue, the surface will be monolithic and scratches on the coating may appear stronger. On average, the consumption of polyurethane glue is 2-3 liters per 20 liter bucket with a stone. The installation process can be seen in a short video:

For outdoor use, a UV-resistant two-component polyurethane adhesive is used. There is nothing complicated in the application of stone chips - he poured it in, smoothed it and smoothed it with a spatula.

Another option is to make the floors covered with washed concrete tiles:

My examples, cast from concrete remnants. The tile is cast into molds treated with a concrete setting retarder and in a day it is cleaned and washed. With a polyurethane varnish topcoat, a wet stone effect is achieved, highlighting the color and texture. The tiles are laid like tiles on the floor. The rock of the stones is much harder than concrete, practically does not scratch. The varnish will scratch on their surface. But the scratches will not be visible due to the surface texture and variety of coating colors.

The third method recently spied on at the point of vehicle inspection:

As you can see, high quality industrial concrete floors are made in the room. But to protect them from scratches with spikes, the place of passage of cars was made of modular PVC tiles. Coverage near:

It was fixed for reliability on dowels with a certain pitch. Although the tile itself is glued with polyurethane glue. The cost of this coverage:

Price per piece For 1 m2 - an average of 1400 rubles. The price cannot be called low, the entire garage does not make sense to cover them. But in the same style as in the photographs, it is interesting and the scratches from the car's spikes are not visible.

There is a simpler solution - it is to use winter Velcro tires on the car. But not everyone likes this type of tire.
