Concrete flooring advice

There are large rubber squares made just for garage floors. Paint eventually wears off. Grout between tile can get gross. These, you just hose down.

Stain would be better than paint. You could start with that and if you want to upgrade later, you can.

I have rubber floor tile in my garage around the vehicles. The kind I have are like a grate with tiny holes. They interlock and the holes allow dirt to fall below the surface and cuts down on tracking it into the house. I bought mine at Home Depot but here is something very similar to it:

I have seen all types of floor covering in garages, often in the outlining areas to where the car wheels are parked. Epoxy coating eliminates concrete dust, is durable, easy to clean, and can go on the entire floor. Depending on where you live, and the degree to which your garage has heat or A/C, some floor coverings may be more suitable that others.

If you live in a hot climate, the rubber can begin to melt, get sticky, and smell hot. Laminate can get extremely slippery in the winter, especially if you have snow. Tiles are easy to clean around an area with water, such as a sink and countertop, but are cold on the feet. Indoor/outdoor carpet is warm on the feet, but attracts pine needles, sand, or sawdust like magnets and is harder to vacuum.

Think about how you use your garage, for what purposes and what activities.
