Designing your shed is an exciting process, and choosing the right flooring can significantly impact its functionality, comfort, and style. At The Shed Company, we provide high-quality shed kits, but please note that flooring is not included. However, your local store may be able to connect you with trusted businesses that offer flooring solutions, or you might be able to arrange this through the construction company handling the build. For sheds built on a concrete slab, there are numerous flooring options to consider:

1. Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy offers a durable, high-performance finish ideal for workshops and garages. It’s stain-resistant and adds a sleek, professional look to your shed.

2. Vinyl, Laminate, and Floating Floorboards 

Vinyl, Laminate, and Floating Floorboards: These versatile options provide a stylish and comfortable finish for your shed. Vinyl is waterproof and easy to clean, making it ideal for sheds with moisture. Laminate offers a wood-like appearance, adding warmth to your shed, while floating floorboards (including laminate and engineered timber) provide a finished look and are easy to install over concrete. These flooring types work well for livable spaces like studios, offices, or hobby rooms.

3. Polished Concrete

Polished concrete offers a modern, reflective surface that enhances the natural look of your slab. It’s low-maintenance and perfect for contemporary or industrial-style sheds.

4. Floor Paint

An economical way to upgrade your shed floor. Floor paints designed for concrete add color and protection against wear and tear.

6. Bare Concrete

Keeping the concrete bare is a low-maintenance option suitable for storage or heavy-duty use.

7. Rubber Flooring

Rubber flooring is an ideal choice for home gyms, garages, and sheds, offering a durable, non-slip surface that absorbs shock and reduces noise. It's easy to install, protects underlying concrete from damage, and provides a comfortable, moisture-resistant finish perfect for workouts, heavy equipment, and high-traffic areas.

8. Mezzanine Floors

Increase floor space and add storage capacity in your shed with a mezzanine floor. They provide an efficient means of maximizing floor space within your shed without expanding the footprint of your structure. For Mezzanine floors, typically use a flooring substrate like Structaflor. This comes in varying thickness to suit bearing loads and joist spacing.
