[SAF_Capri]

im thinking of carpeting the garage floor- any thoughts? will this help with damp or just collect it? got some off cuts from all the bloody decorating!

my garage had carpet...and it rotted and got wet and got in the way.

 

had to leg it in the end when my garage flooded and it soaked up all the water....i also found insects living under it

just put it where you do the most standing, like at the bench, keep the cold out of your tootsies

got a dehumidifier in the garage to keep out the damp, also my garage is a wooden one so its alot drier and condensation free compared to a brick one

Concrete floors should always be laid with a membrane. My garage is fine and has carpet tiles, nice and comfy no problems... Damp does come up through some concrete floors though - depends how old your concrete floor is and when it was laid ...

I have bits of carpet in my garage beside the house where I keep and work on most of my motorbikes, as it’s easier on the knees and it is stopping any oil getting into the concrete floor before I get a chance to paint it.

The farm shed (old chicken shed) I rent for keeping and working on my cars couldn’t have carpet in there at the moment as its so damp but I have just painted the walls to brighten it up a bit and the floor to seal it, has taken me weeks with all the shit I have had to move about to get a bit done at a time, but I finished it yesterday so now its time to sort out what is going where and bin the rest

it wont last long if you do plenty of grinding and welding

it wouldnt be till after the engine change, just want to make the garage less damp, going to line everything i can.
