Before & After: Transform Your Garage in One Day (Full Plan)
Tylex DesignsShare
Prep first
-
Measure precisely: length/width, door openings, obstructions, cabinets.
-
Choose surfaces: Vented for wet/snow-exposed areas; Solid/3D for dry work zones.
-
Lighting plan: pick Hex 14/15/PRO based on area and ceiling height.
-
Order list: tiles (≈ 6.25/m²) + 5–10% overage, edges/ramps, LED kit, optional suspension.
The one-day timeline (example)
-
Prep (30 min): sweep, vacuum; dry floor.
-
Dry-fit (45 min): snap a 3×3 m core; confirm pattern and orientation.
-
Cuts & edging (60–90 min): cut from tile underside; install ramps at doors.
-
Hex install (90–120 min): tape layout, mount rails/clips, connect power.
-
Finish (20 min): tidy cables, test, take your “after” photos.
Pro tips
-
Leave a small expansion gap at walls.
-
Flush mount for low ceilings; suspension at 3 m+.
-
Label underside of tiles/rails by zone to make future changes easy.
Maintenance
-
Vented: blow out or vacuum channels.
-
Solid: mop; avoid harsh abrasives.
-
LEDs: visual connector check 1–2×/year.
FAQs
-
Can I use the space immediately? Yes—no glue or cure time.
-
Noise underfoot? Rigid PP is firmer; add mats in ultra-quiet zones if desired.
-
Drains and slopes? Use a cardboard template for precise cuts; maintain flow paths.
