If you are looking for extra space in your garage then garage storage cabinets can help you immensely. These cabinets play a pivotal role in organizing cluttered and crowded space. The beauty of these cabinets is that you can install these cabinets in surfaces that are scratch resistant and feature stain. These cabinets are normally made from materials like metal, heavy-duty plastic and wood.

Another good thing about garage storage cabinets is that they are quite straightforward to put together. To provide your garage a custom look, these cabinets are available in a wider array of sizes.

Maple is the way to go if you are interested in buying a stylish cabinet system. The best part about maple is that it is quite stable and durable. According to their characteristics, maple cabinets come with drawer slides for drawers and pre-drilled holes for racks. To hold around fifty pounds per shelf, the shelves are constructed in a solid way. You can get maple units in finishes like white, light maple and natural.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a good organization and versatility then you must choose wall mounted garage storage cabinets. These cabinets gives you a much-needed cushion in terms of adjusting the position of cabinets, drawers and shelves on your wall mounted rack. With the help of these cabinets you can also build the storage racks on any garage wall.

From the above discussion, one can safely say that each system of garage cabinets is unique. You will face no problem in building your system. You can easily do it taking into consideration the kind of space your garage has. But before opting for any garage storage cabinets, make sure that it is strong enough and can hold all sort of things. When you fastened garage storage cabinets with dovetail joints, you will get a sturdy storage system in your garage.

Buy garage storage cabinet that is well made. Garage storage cabinet made from particleboard is not recommended because it can crash your wall rack. You can keep your valuable items off the floor of garage away from pests and water by installing storage cabinets properly. If you cannot afford expensive garage storage cabinets, do not worry there are number of modular designs available in the market, which are not that much costly.

Garage Shapeups: 5 Things to Consider to Make Your Garage Summer Ready

Summer comes in hot and fast - often on the winds of blowing storms. It's time to stop for a moment and consider these 5 things to make sure your garage is summer ready.
What are Storing in your Garage? 

If there are flammable liquids, do you really want to keep them in one of the hottest places in your home? If you have stored your Christmas candles, can they take the heat or is Santa going to be a thinner, melted Santa next year? Use a thermometer and see how hot your garage gets. Is it safe for you canned goods? Make sure that what's stored in the garage can take the heat of your location.
Is it Ventilated? 
Your garage is likely to share a wall with your home - hopefully, it's a well-insulated wall. Still, the heat from your garage is going to enter your home as you go in and out. Creating an air flow could help dissipate some of that heat. If you have a window that can be opened without jeopardizing anything in the garage, you might want to open it.
Storm Ready? 
That window you just opened - if a storm is predicted, you may want to go out and close it. Make sure that the garage door and any other doors are in good repair and can withstand the harsh storms that often come with summer. You want to make sure your garage remains dry and the things in it remain safe. Keep an eye on the weather so your garage is closed and secure before a storm hits.
Creepy Critters looking for a Home? 
It's hot outside so you may have some summer visitors. Check your garage door and make sure it closes tightly. If you suspect that mice, pack rats or any other undesirable has taken up residence, use the proper pest control. Be sure to use if safely. If you have any doubts, call a pest company for help.
Is your Garage Door Ready? 
Chances are that garage door is going to get a lot more use in the summer. The children are going to be in and out getting their athletic equipment and their bikes. Dad and Mom are going to be opening and closing the door to get tools for yard work or clubs for a game of golf. Garage door accidents can maim and kill. If you haven't had your garage door and its springs and cables checked by a professional garage door repair company, do it now. Summer is better if your garage door is ready!

Garage Shapeups: Garage Organization - New Heights For Garage Floors

For decades the garage has been relegated as the dumping ground for many American home owners. The garage floor, those that can still be seen under the many piles of boxes, holiday decorations and gardening equipment, has become an unsightly mess. With stains from your cars, pets, paints and various chemicals, garage floors traditionally look more like that of a car mechanic's than that of a private residence.

California residences have it even worse, due to the never ending cracks, chips and pitting caused from earthquakes. Cracks can easily be filled and repaired and painted over and look fine...until the next quake or tremor. So what is a home owner to do instead of going through this continual maintenance process? Install maintenance fee interlocking floor tiles. With technological advances in every part of our lives, from cooking to cleaning, it's about time the garage gets a few advances as well.

Interlocking floor tiles are the next great thing for the garage floor. Think Lego's meet linoleum. Instead of trying the fix it up, cover it up. Interlocking floor tiles come in a variety of styles, colors and sizes. Interlocking floor tiles are normally designed from a polypropylene copolymer material. This composite can withstand temperatures of -20F - 200+F and have a weight ratio of over 5,000 PSI, (pounds per square inch). So unless you drive a Sherman tank, you should be okay. And unlike paints or epoxy products, there is no prep time, no cracks to fill, no grinding of surfaces, no toxic chemicals and no mess. And you don't have to be without your garage for days on end.

A standard two care garage can be installed in hours not days. You don't even have to wait for drying time. The minute it is finished, you can drive on it. Interlocking floor tiles don't require any adhesives or glues. You simply snap them together and lay them down, that's it! You can even take them with you when you move. But here's the best part; the surface is oil and paint resistant.

True story: we had a client that just had a beautiful new epoxy floor installed in his garage. One day, his new Mercedes wouldn't start. So he called AAA. AAA showed up, pulled into the garage, connected his jumper cables and started the homeowner's car. Everyone was happy, right? Wrong. The homeowner found that AAA had left him a little gift...battery acid. The battery acid had burned right through his brand new, incredibly shiny epoxy floor. The garage floor now had a pancake sized stain that exposed the existing, ugly concrete. And because the epoxy floor material was one layer of epoxy that covered the entire garage, he now had to deal with fixing the whole floor. Had he installed interlocking floor tiles instead, he would only have to pop out the effected tiles, snap in new ones and he would have a perfect garage floor again in minutes.

Interlocking floor tiles are the future of garage floors. They are easy to install, not permanent, oil-paint-stain resistant, easy to clean, attractive and very functional. You can create attractive designs, including checkerboards, individual car stalls and even hop-scotch for the kids.

So when you are ready to clean up your garage, don't stop at just your walls and cabinets, consider doing the floors as well. Consider installing Interlocking floor tiles.
