Whether you’re working with an existing shed or are planning to build one from scratch, concrete, dirt, and plywood flooring aren’t necessarily the best choices. Instead, there are many floor products and coverings that are waterproof and DIY-friendly. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Waterproof Shed Floor Options
At Greatmats, we carry several products ideal for use in your outdoor shed.
Interlocking Tiles
Interlocking floor tiles are a simple and convenient flooring choice. These tiles are sized so that they’re easy to carry, and they can support a temporary or long-term installation. The tiles connect together without any need for adhesive, making for an easy DIY project that a single person can complete.
The TurboTile Diamond Garage Floor Tile is a polypropylene plastic tile designed for easy installation. The tile is weighted for a 10,000-pound load, making it a highly strong and versatile tile that can support the weight of vehicles. The tiles feature finished edges and optional border ramps, and you can also remove them easily.
The StayLock Tile Orange Peel is a durable PVC plastic tile that features a 20-inch ASTM fall height rating. It combines the durability of rubber with a foam-like cushion, so it’s very comfortable underfoot while also being waterproof. The tiles can be installed over concrete, wood, tile, or carpet, and the orange peel-like texture maximizes traction for safety.
The Smooth Top PVC Interlocking Grays Ever Tile is a PVC tile that’s waterproof and easy to clean. The durable tile can withstand heat, cold, and humidity fluctuations, plus it’s resistant to oils, mold, mildew, and most chemicals, making it ideal for use in a shed. The tile easily fits together and can be removed, thanks to the puzzle-style interlocks.
Our Patio Outdoor Tile is a slip-resistant tile that’s flexible with a bit of cushioning to keep you comfortable. The perforations let liquids drain right through the tile, so it’s ideal for outdoor and indoor use. The connectors on the edges make for an easy installation.
Vinyl Rolls
Vinyl rolls are ideal for easily covering larger areas in your shed. They are extremely durable and are easy to maintain.
The LonDeck Commercial Vinyl Rolls are crafted of highly resilient vinyl that’s slightly embossed for an eye-catching touch. You can choose from several colors to customize your shed’s appearance. The vinyl can withstand all weather and is backed by a 15-year limited warranty.
Industrial Matting
If you’re looking for waterproof flooring that maximizes safety, you may want to consider industrial matting. These flooring products are highly durable and are designed to withstand significant traffic.
The Firmagrip Industrial Matting is made of non-porous PVC, so it won’t absorb liquids. It features a diamond tread surface texture, is certified slip-resistant for safety, and quickly drains liquids away to help prevent slick surfaces. The flooring is also resistant to oils, acids, and chemicals, so you can use it in sheds even when these materials are present.
You might also choose the Floorline Non Slip Floor Matting to maximize the safety in your shed. The flooring offers cushioning for fatigue relief, and its open grid design also quickly drains liquids away. It’s resistant to chemicals, oils, and acids, and can be dry laid for a very easy installation and removal as needed for cleaning.
Budget Shed Flooring
If you’re looking for a cheap flooring option that’s still waterproof, the Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium might be a great choice. These foam tiles are resistant to water and stains and add comfortable cushion to your shed floor. The tiles measure 2x2 feet, so they’re easy to carry but will also quickly cover a larger floor area. The puzzle edges make for an easy installation and included border strips mean you can create clean, finished edges. The tiles are available in 13 different colors, so you can customize your shed’s appearance with your tile color choice.
