Our customers appreciate the durability and cushioning we offer in our flooring for garages and basements, as well as flooring for kids’ rooms and workout spaces. Whatever you can dream up for your DIY home flooring needs, Greatmats can make it a reality!

Types of Flooring for Houses

At Greatmats, we offer four primary types of flooring for houses.

• Mats: Mats provide coverage over a specific area, such as folded foam mats with vinyl coverings and 10x10-foot wrestling and MMA mats. If you need smaller cushioned mats for standing and working in a kitchen or laundry room, we offer those, too.
  
• Tiles: Our customers often select our tiles because of how easy they are to install and the high-quality designs they offer. They include both interlocking tiles and peel-and-stick tiles. Our Max Tile Raised Floor Tile and StayLock Tile products are among the most popular options that we offer for homeowners.
  
• Rolls: Rolls of rubber and vinyl flooring for dance are great ways to cover large spaces in a short amount of time.
  
• Planks: We offer engineered hardwood or vinyl planks that mimic hardwood floors, providing excellent durability and a high-end look.

House Flooring Materials

Our house flooring options can consist of several different materials, depending on the look you want and the planned use case for the space. Learn more about our modular floor types, which include:

• Carpet: We have interlocking carpet tiles that are easy to install. They may sit on a foam base for cushioning or atop a raised plastic base. Some models work as waterproof carpet tiles, too, for permanent or temporary use in a damp basement.
  
• Engineered hardwood: Engineered hardwood planks fit together without the need for adhesive or nails and look like the real thing.
  
• Foam: EVA foam tiles with puzzle-style edges are easy to install. Several different colored foam tiles are available that kids will love, or you can pick among faux wood grain or stone patterns. Foam flooring for a garage is available, too.
  
• Polypropylene plastic: Firm polypropylene plastic is great for indoor or outdoor usage, and it often has perforations that allow water to drain away. It can support large amounts of weight, making it one of the best garage floor mat materials available.
  
• PVC plastic: PVC plastic tiles include a flexible material that’s also extremely durable, making it one of the most versatile home flooring options we offer. It’s waterproof and provides traction in damp conditions.
  
• Rubber: Rubber tiles, rolls, and mats protect the subfloor while providing excellent traction and durability in a variety of locations.
  
• Vinyl: Vinyl tiles on a plastic base and vinyl rolls can look like almost any kind of flooring, while delivering good durability and ease of installation.
