Checkered Design Roll Out Garage Flooring

Yes, a car jack can be safely used on top of the roll matting without damaging the floor.  Please note that if you leave the jack in place for a longer period of time there may be a slight indentation on the mat once the floor jack is moved elsewhere.  However, an indentation won't affect the functionality or durability of the matting.

No.  Salts of any kind are not a problem for the garage matting and do not need to be removed or addressed any differently than other debris.

These garage flooring rolls can be safely used over a garage floor that has small imperfections like those mentioned above.  Small cracks, pits and scrapes are common to most garage floors and these mats can certainly accommodate those situations.  For more substantial gouges or deeper pits that could telegraph through the matting, it would be best to fill them in before laying down the garage flooring since although the matting would be fine for a time, eventually the unevenness could stretch or tear the matting if driven over a great deal.

In addition to a releasable adhesive, we also carry a heavy-duty, double-sided Garage Floor Mat Seaming Tape that will secure the matting in place but not damage or stain the floor below.

You can certainly use these garage floor rolls to cover the floor of your boat.  We recommend that the floor of the boat be cleaned (and dry) before installing.  The matting itself should be glued down using outdoor Garage Flooring Adhesive. This matting is stain, mold and mildew resistant and will hold up to the sun and water (even salt water) exposure.

Garage Floor Matting Rolls are manufactured here in the US from premium ingredients and do not contain fillers or any toxic additives.  The garage rolls are composed of 100% pure vinyl and although it's possible to have a very faint 'new car smell' once received, the smell, if any, will quickly dissipate.  The rolls can be installed indoors after receiving them - there's no need to air them out first.  If you do find that there is a faint smell, a little liquid soap and warm water will help remove it more quickly.

Garage Roll Matting is perfectly suited for use in carports in which the rolls are exposed directly to the elements (rain, snow, sun, wind, temperature changes, etc.).  Thanks to it's composition and manufacturing process, these garage mats are fade- and mildew-resistant and will not absorb rain or snow that may blow in while remaining slip-resistant thanks to their textured surface pattern.  If being used wall-to-wall, and especially in environments where the temperature changes a lot, you may want to secure the matting with our Outdoor Garage Floor Adhesive to help keep it firmly in place and help prevent expansion and contraction.

All garage floor roll matting is manufactured here in the US from American sourced raw materials which ensures a high-quality, durable floor matting product that lasts for years, even under the most demanding conditions and in the harshest environments.

Although minimal and only occurring with more extreme temperature swings, it is possible for the matting to slightly expand when the matting gets rather warm and contract just a bit when the temperature drops a lot.  Temperature fluctuation won't damage or deteriorate the matting in any way.  However, if installing wall-to-wall, it's a good idea to leave a slight gap (about 1/4" on each side) to allow for this phenomenon.

Garage Flooring Rolls have a lot of surface contact with the floor below and tend to stay in place quite well, even when driven over frequently and even with larger vehicles.  For residential and light commercial use, the need for glue or tape is rarely necessary.  Rain water and snow will not make the matting slide around any more than dry conditions.
