As a custodial manager, I periodically come upon custodians using incorrect color-coded floor pads for a floor care project, because they will often express that all floor pads are the same and it really does not matter. But when you are trying to manage a staff and oversee a host of custodial projects to completion, the difference between a job task being completed on time and a job task being completed correctly, can come down to this one simple fact. In order to make a floor care job task easier for the average person to understand, this short article will help me explain the purposeful use of each color pad.

Floor pad manufacturers do not produce floor pads in different colors schemes simply as means to attract more sales with the pretty colors. Floor pad colors were introduced into the industry with a purposeful intent. Each color is meant to define a floor care pad for a specific floor care task. The color allows a floor pad manufacturer to differentiate the coarseness of the pad, the job task intent of the pad, as well as providing a means to the customer to be able to discriminate between which color pad should be used for the job task they have to complete. Although some manufacturers occasionally will attempt to introduce new colors into the marketplace, there is a standard color breakdown set in place that is universally accepted in the janitorial industry upon which most customers can rely. The standard colors of floor care pads are as follows: pink, white, beige, red, blue (green), and black.

The pink floor care pad is defined as a pad of light coarseness, which is underlined by the color which speaks of softness. The purpose of the pink floor care pad is for the pad to be utilized in burnishing a floor. With a high speed burnisher, the pink floor care pad restores sheen to the floor and redefines the high gloss look that a floor finish should provide. The reason one would utilize such a pad is to keep a floor looking shiny and new.

Swisstrax Interlocking Floor Tiles: Never Has Flooring Induced So Much Garage Envy

A whole new level of garage gear obsession. [click on image]

from Gear Patrol

If you are anything like me, then your garage serves as a multifunctional part of your home. It’s a place to park your vehicles, store your tools, hide your toys, and, just maybe, hide yourself. If your garage is anything like my garage, then its floor looks like absolute crap. Enter Swisstrax.

Originally hailing from Switzerland but now manufactured in California, Swisstrax represents Gear Patrol’s new favorite innovation from the neutral nation, coming out of nowhere to unseat Ricola cough drops and holey cheese. Swisstrax offers six different styles of tile, some of which are available in fourteen different colors. Even better, their website features a floor designer whereby you can layout a custom floor and easily order all the pieces you’ll need. Here’s a tip: the square tiles lend themselves perfectly to oversized renderings of your favorite 8-bit game characters (think Mario, the size of a Mazda).

Their various designs suit garages, workout rooms, airplane hangars, and more. Each tile features a hefty complement of snap locks to secure it to its brethren, and a four point injection molding process that allows a Swisstrax floor to withstand up to 40,000 pounds of roll-over compression. Even if you could overwhelm this floor system with the sheer bulk of your man-toys, you’d be backed by a 12 year warranty. My favorite feature is simply a function of the tiles interlocking design. Unlike other floor coatings and coverings, the tiles are inherently portable and reusable. Consider me impressed.

Gear Patrol Hands-On: GP procured Swisstrax floor tiling for hands-on testing. We pinched, pulled, stomped, and even bit the Swisstrax with all of our combined might. Nary a scratch was made. Conclusion: this is one tough tile.

Garage Floor Pad Q & A

Question: I have a two car garage; what sizes do I need to cover my entire garage floor?
Answer: There are no standards in the size of garage floors, Most will measure around the 400 square foot range. However the actual dimensions [length and width] vary from garage to garage, this affects the size of the garage floor cover you may need. "Please contact one of our experts with the dimensions of your garage floor, they will be more than glad to assist you in determining the most practical garage floor pad for your application."

Question: What is the difference between the Ribbed parking pad and/or the Coin and Diamond pattern parking pads?
Answer: The ribbed parking pad is mainly used in the northern states where ice and snow build up on your vehicle is an issue, as the snow and ice melts, the ribs help to contain and channel the debris and moisture toward the garage door, as long as there is sufficient slope to the structure/slab to allow this. The ribbed parking pad is an excellent option for this scenario; however it can be a lot harder to keep clean during the summer months ; I.E mopping, sweeping, squeegee, etc... As we have found the Coin and Diamond parking pad to be most functional in conditions where water is not such an issue and ease of cleaning is desired.

Question: Do the Garage floor covers/parking pads stay in place when a car is driven on them?
Answer: YES; the Garage floor covers/parking pads were specifically designed for the residential garage, all scenarios were considered when the Garage floor covers/parking pads were developed.

Question: Does the garage floor mat/garage floor cover curl up when it is unrolled?
Answer: NO, Once the garage floor mat/parking pad is unrolled and allowed to relax; it will lay flat on all edges; however in some instances a double sided tape may be used to prevent a tripping hazard.

Question: What is the difference between the standard grade ribbed garage floor cover and the commercial grade ribbed garage floor cover?
Answer: The difference is in the overall thickness. The standard grade garage flooring is .05" to .06" in thickness ( about the thickness of a dime ) We recommends this garage floor to be used in the areas of only occasional snowfall and used during the winter months only to keep the Garage floor from becoming too slippery and to prevent ponding water. The commercial grade ribbed garage flooring is .07" to .08" in thickness (about the thickness of a quarter) this garage flooring to be used in the areas of frequent snowfall and is suitable for year around usage, the added thickness will provide a durable garage flooring that will provide many years of service.


Question: What is the advantage of the interlocking garage floor tiles pad over the garage floor mat garage floor cover?
Answer: The advantage's of interlocking garage floor tile used as a garage floor pad, over the garage floor mat is that the tile can be assembled to achieve a pattern on the garage floor; like a checker board or a border effect, another advantage is in the overall construction itself, the tile is thicker which provides extreme durability where it is needed.

Why Protect Your Garage Floor?

By Tom Turner

There are many reasons for ensuring that you protect your garage floor. This area of your property which often gets forgotten about and is certainly going to have to put up with a lot of wear and tear through the years. Certainly if you live in an area where the winters are harsh then think about all that salt you will be getting on your garage floor every time you drive the car back into it. However, by putting down a good quality garage flooring you should help it to last that little bit longer.

Certainly the best types of garage flooring are those which are resin based such as those produced. They both provide resin based garage flooring and are resistant to a varied range of chemicals such as oil. But not only do these types of floorings protect your garage floor they also make it look great as well.

Luckily today the types of garage floorings available come in a variety of different colors so you don't need to stick to boring old grey or black. Also if you want you can add a flaking material which is normally made from stone and this will provide you with a little more grip as well as providing your garage floor with a little classier look to it. But probably the best reason for coating your garage floor with a special flooring cover is that it will help the floor to last longer. Unfortunately if you do not coat your garage floor with one of the best epoxy resins on the market today you may find that the water and oil will get into the garage flooring and after some time they will begin to eat away at it and in turn you may find yourself having to replace the garage floor completely. Also if you happen to spill anything on your new garage flooring you will find that it is much easier to clean it up.

Although there are several different types of coating for your garage floor available certainly the epoxy resin based paints are the most popular of all. The best way to see if your garage floor is able to have this paint applied to it is by carry out a very simple test. All you need do is pour some water on to your garage floor and is if it soaks into it or just stays on top. Unfortunately if the water remains on top of the garage flooring then it has been treated with a sealer and this needs to be removed before you can apply a new garage flooring paint to yours. But prior to painting on the new epoxy garage flooring resin you will need to ensure that it is completely free of dirt.
