Garage floor carpet tiles or squares, is one of the lesser known options in garage flooring that people have been using with mostly good results.  Available in a modular interlocking tile and as a peel and stick design as well, these carpet tiles will give your floor the soft feel and look of carpet while still offering good resistance to staining and some chemicals.

If you are not familiar with the pros and cons of using carpet in the garage, we suggest that you read this post first to learn more about this garage flooring option.

Interlocking Garage Carpet Tiles

The easiest of these selections to install are the carpet covered interlocking garage floor tiles.  These are the same tiles made by companies such as RaceDeck and BlockTile.  These 12”x12” polypropylene tiles are covered with Olefin synthetic carpet.  They are available in up to 6 color options and are easy to assemble.  You can even incorporate them with the other interlocking tile designs that are available from these manufacturers.

You also don’t have to worry about floor prep.  The interlocking tiles will easily span most joints and cracks that you may have in the concrete.  Since sweeping and a general cleaning of the concrete is all that is required, installation in a typical 2-car garage can be completed in as little as a few hours.  They are more expensive however, starting at a bulk rate of around $4.50 a square foot.  If you like the idea of interlocking tile for your garage but at a lower price, you can always take a look at budget garage floor tiles instead.

Self-Stick Carpet Tiles or Squares

Another lesser known option that has been successful is self-adhering garage carpet tiles.  The company Diamond Life makes a product called TuffCarpet that is designed specifically for the garage.  These peel and stick carpet tiles are 18”x18” in size and cost about $3.00 a square foot.  They are available in 13 different colors and can be mixed and matched however you like.

Installation is fairly easy with their pressure sensitive adhesive backing.  In fact, it’s very similar to the installation of the peel and stick vinyl garage floor tiles.  You do have to make sure your floor is clean and that any major cracks, pits, or spalling is repaired properly.  Saw cut contraction joints are not a problem, but if you have the deep V grooved contraction joints you will need to fill those prior to avoid creating a depression in the carpet tile that will pull the edges away from its neighbor.


Carpet tiles or squares may not be the best option for the highly active garage floor that sees many home projects and car repairs, but it can be a very satisfying choice for those looking for a comfortable and unique garage flooring that will stand up to normal use.  It creates a warm feel to the garage as well as the feet.  And if you do damage or stain a tile, they are easily replaced one at a time instead of the entire flooring.

    I was interested in your Interlocking Garage Carpet tiles. However, instead of for a garage it will be for a home show display space. So I had questions as to how it holds up, if its easy to put together and take apart. We have heavy Kitchen Displays that we put in our space, so will that ruin the tiles. And of course pricing. I need this info asap so if something can get back to me as soon as possible, please that would be great!

      Hello Sabrina. We don’t sell product here at All Garage Floors. We are an informational resource only. However, we suggest that you contact Justin Krauss at Garage Flooring LLC. He sells the RaceDeck brand of interlocking carpet tiles which you can see here. They are very easy to snap together and take apart. Plus, they will handle extremely heavy loads. Justin can answer any additional questions you may have and his customer service is top notch.
