Why choose GarageCarpetPro for your garage carpet solution?

  • Not all garage carpet in New Zealand is created equal: GarageCarpetPro offers only the best garage floor carpet, designed to handle whatever your space demands, whether it’s a home gym, a kids’ playroom, the ultimate man cave, or just a garage containing the home laundry.
  • Our Jazz 5000 UV garage carpet: (used in 99% of our installations) is the original, high-performance garage carpet. Manufactured for 18 years in Belgium by Beaulieu International, one of the world’s leading carpet manufacturers. It has been proven in New Zealand for over 16 years as a bulletproof solution for garage flooring.
  • No gimmicks: You won’t find cheap, low-grade carpets in multiple colour options but with no UV protection here. Instead, we only offer top-tier, durable garage carpet that is denser, stronger, UV stable, and longer-lasting than the alternatives.
  • We install ourselves – not relying on contracted installers: The specialist that visits you to evaluate what is required, and provide the quote, will install the carpet to AS/NZ 2455.1:2007 standard.

We only use the best carpet available

Our Jazz 5000 UV  garage carpet is the original  – proven in New Zealand for 16 years and fully weather proof. This is the carpet used on boats, marina jettys and as temporary flooring for stadium concerts.

Alternative carpets out of China contain little or no UV protection, and use a mixture of inferior fibre types to lower to cost. These will not last.

Compare apples with apples

When choosing a supplier, make sure what they are quoting is the same. Garage carpet looks the same to the untrained eye, but it differs in raw materials used, the chemicals used in manufacturing and if they are environmentally certified as safe, strength, UV protection, pile height, and density.

Correct floor preparation is essential

Garage carpet must be adhered to the floor with glue. To ensure the glue sticks properly, the floor must be prepared correctly. Our process follows AS/NZ 2455.1:2007 – the standard for installation of floor coverings.

Be wary of installers who claim they can stick the carpet directly onto existing painted surfaces, vinyl sheeting, or oily concrete. Our team are often called in to fix other installers jobs that have delaminated from the floor.

Orientation of the carpet matters

Garage carpet must be laid in the correct orientation down the length of the garage. This is to ensure car tyres are not riding over the joins resulting in the seams being pulled. Be wary of installers who will try to cut corners by installing across the garage – we see it a lot.

An edge transition strip comes standard

100% of our quotes and installations include a carpet transition strip (either rubber or alloy) as this will protect the front edge of the carpet against tyre damage. Many installers claim this is not necessary, or charge a premium to add one, but we have been doing this a long time – and know best.

We have seen some horrors of carpet folded over the lip of the garage floor slab, which frays and lifts within days of installation.

We visit to evaluate and quote correctly

Our specialists take pride in visiting every property to ensure they can fully evaluate what is required before quoting. They will talk you though the process personally to ensure there are no hidden surprises, and provide a formal written quotation fully understanding what is required.

    FAQ

    • What if my laundry is in my garage?

      Recent changes to the building code regarding internal moisture (E3), now requires flooring 1.5m away from sanitary appliances (now including laundry appliances) to be impervious and easily cleaned. While garage carpet does not harbour any moisture it is deemed to not meet this criteria.

      In order to meet this new code, we are able to provide an LVT planking solution for the laundry part of the garage which looks fantastic.

    • Does your garage carpet come in different colours?

      GaragePro only offers the best UV stable carpet. Due to the cost of the UV stabilisation process, manufacturers will only make UV stable products in colours that will sell in high volumes. For cost effective carpet, this limits the colour to the dark anthracite you will see in most garages. We do have a couple of different UV stable colour options but they are much more expensive due to the small production runs.

      Some companies offer multiple colours at a similar price to our carpet. The downside to these is that they have zero UV stability and therefore will fade quickly and degrade much faster than a UV stable product.

    • Is garage carpet mould and mildew-resistant?

      Purpose-made polypropylene garage carpet is 100% waterproof and, therefore, inherently mould and mildew resistant. Any moisture brought into the garage from vehicles will simply soak into the underlying concrete and evaporate.

    • What’s the average lifespan of garage carpet?

      This depends entirely on the carpet. Our Jazz 5000 UV carpet has been in the New Zealand market for 16 years with no recorded failures. Its 5000 hours of UV stabilisation ensures it is resistant to damage caused by intense UV. Many carpets on the market have little or no UV stabilisation as it is an expensive additive in the manufacturing process.

      GaragePro has been installing Jazz since 2013 and has never had a failure. We regularly come across other installations that require replacement after a few years due to the carpet breaking down, or because of poor installation practices.

    • Will installing garage carpet affect the resale value of my home?

      While some buyers may prefer a traditional concrete floor in the garage, others may see the added comfort and functionality of the carpet as a valuable feature. Ultimately, the impact on resale value will depend on market preferences and the property's overall condition.

    • Is garage carpet resistant to oil and other automotive fluids?

      Polypropylene garage carpet is resistant to most oil and other automotive fluids stains. However, cleaning up spills promptly is still essential to prevent damage to the glue that bonds the carpet to the floor.

    • How do I clean and maintain my garage carpet?

      Regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning with a mild detergent can help maintain the appearance and longevity of the garage carpet. Avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaners, which can damage the carpet fibres.

    • Can I install the garage carpet myself, or do I need professional help?

      Professional installation for garage carpets is recommended to ensure proper fitting and longevity. Our garage carpet installs follow the New Zealand Standards for floor coverings (AS/NZ 2455.1 2007), including preparing the surface correctly to ensure successful bonding.

    • What type of material should I get for the best garage carpet?

      The most hardwearing garage carpet is made from polypropylene. Some cheaper carpets are made from polyester, but these are known to break down under heavy traffic. It is important that any carpet be UV stabilised to reduce the chance of fading and to prevent the breakdown of the fibres.

    • Do you install garage carpet in other areas – carports, sleepouts, offices?

      Absolutely.  Garage carpet is perfect for any area that needs a robust surface. We do not recommend it for bedrooms or living areas as it does not have underlay installed with it.

    • Does the garage carpet come with a warranty?

      Yes, your newly-installed garage carpet comes with a lifetime zippering and de-lamination guarantee, plus a comprehensive colour-fast and manufacturing warranty for 5 years! Our garage carpet installation conforms to the AS/NZS 2455.1 2007 standard for floor coverings which confirms the sub-surface is prepared correctly and ensures a long-lasting fit.

    • Can I park my vehicle on my garage carpet?

      Yes, you can park vehicles on the garage carpet. However, it is recommended to use protective mats or trays under tyres and beneath areas prone to oil leaks to prevent damage to the carpet. Being a textile, the fibres under the vehicle’s wheels will flatten (just as your house carpet flattens under table or bed legs), but this is normal and will not shorten the garage carpet's lifespan.

    • Will the garage carpet have joins?

      Yes, the average double garage will have one or two joins. All of our joins are ‘double cut’ and glued and are almost invisible! It should be noted that due to manufacturing process, there may be a slight difference in shade between each strip of carpet. This is normal for synthetic carpets.

    • Can I use garage carpet in areas prone to flooding or high moisture?

      While garage carpets can withstand occasional spills and moisture and quickly dry out, they are not recommended for areas prone to flooding if your garage floods regularly. Leaving the raw concrete surface is best.
