Sam's Club Roll Flooring?

[bje31]

I was shopping in our area's Sam's Club yesterday and they have "rolled flooring" in stock made of a ribbed rubber...The 7' x 20' roll was around $110...It looks like it would be easy to maintain and is a fairly attractive item. Any garage junkie familiar with this product?...Thanks

I have something similar (from Home Depot) in one of my bays. Collects all the **** from my daily driver. Sweeps up O.K. and can be dragged out to the driveway in the spring for a wash and hose off.

It is polyethelene and your tires in time will stain it and there is no way to get the stains out. Ask me how I know.

OK...I give up...How do you know?

If you are referring to the black ribbed rollout mat, I have sold a few of these and they look like a decent product, however I have never installed one or seen it after a few months use. I believe I may have some specs on my website.

Thought you'd never ask. I purchased the heavy duty mats from BLT which I think is the same company that makes the Sam's mat. The color was dark green and after a few months the mat was starting to get darker from where the tires rested. The company said that people had success in removing the stains with brake cleaner. Tried it and it did not work. Tried lacquer thinner and acetone likewise did not work. the problem is thst the tires transfer the ruuber into the mat and it cannot be removed. As time passed the stains became darker.

When I lived on the east coast I purchased the vinyl mats that would hold the sludge from the snow that accumulates on the cars ; it also stained from the tires.

Umm, silly question, but why didn't you buy black mats instead of dark green?

I have 2 black cars and keeping them clean is a pain. I did not need another thing that was black to slave over.
