Working on a car can take a real physical toll on the human body, and we’re not just talking about how much effort you had to put into freeing up that one seized bolt. In all likelihood, you’re going to be doing lots of walking, kneeling and even lying down, all on a cold, hard surface that’s not all that friendly to comfort or posture.
It’s important, then, for the keen home mechanic to take whatever steps they can to make garage life as comfortable as possible, and a great place to start is with Clarke’s AFF-1 Anti Fatigue Foam Floor Tiles. Made of a 10mm thick, soft and comfortable yet grippy and durable foam, they’re supplied in a pack of six for just £23.99. With dimensions of 610mm x 610mm, that means they can cover up to 2.23 square metres of floor.
Arranging the tiles in whatever shape you need is easy thanks to their interlocking design, while an additional bright yellow border easily highlights where they are to minimise any trip hazards. Once they’re in place, they provide a comfortable, padded surface for kneeling or standing, and the chequer plate design provides extra grip.
Their usefulness doesn’t end there. During the colder months, they provide an extra layer of insulation between the cold of the garage floor and your body, and naturally, they add an extra piece of protection to your garage too.
You might even find that they’re useful in places besides the garage. Got a home gym setup, or spend lots of time in the kitchen? Lay some of these down, and you’ll be thankful to have something soft and comfy under your feet. In fact, we won’t be surprised if you find yourself going back for another pack of six before too long.
