Protecting Your Toys All Winter Long

This winter, you need to protect your toys, equipment, and your garage floor from the brutalities of winter.

Your garage, after all, is a busy place. Cars and trucks pulling in and out. Snow blowers, sleds, ATV’s, storage, tools, and projects all needing a place. Depending on how warm you keep your garage, salt-packed chunks of ice may fall to the floor and melt across your concrete and spread to your toys, equipment, and belongings. 

It doesn’t take long before the muck of the outdoors — and of winter — finds itself all over your garage. You’ll quickly find yourself with dirt, salt, and sand caked to the bottom of your feet when walking in your garage. In all of the filth of winter, you need to protect your floor and your equipment from winter wear and tear. 

GrandMat – Protecting Your Toys…and Your Floor

Motorcycle Winter Storage

If you’ve winterized your motorcycle, there’s a strong possibility that it is sitting in your garage, to the side and out of the way. However, you still want to protect it. The melting salt-packed snow that falls from your vehicle is going to drain, leak, pour, and pile. Salt is corrosive and letting it get onto the wheels of your motorcycle is a recipe for disaster. The GrandMat’s surrounding lip keeps the corrosion away. 

Snowblower Storage 

The amount of filth, junk, and dirt that end up in your snowblower isn’t immediately evident when you use your snowblower. The snow may look pure and white, but it doesn’t take long to discover that the dirt and sand hidden in that blanket of white is a filthy mess on your garage floor and corroding your concrete. The Grand Mat keeps all that melting mess contained and off your floor. 

Snowmobile and ATV Storage

Your garage floor is the ultimate victim of wear, tear, and winter. From leaking fluids from cars, trucks, ATVs, and all sorts of equipment to the filth and grime that comes in from the outdoors, salt and dirt are corrosive to concrete. By using a GrandMat, you’re protecting the floor to your garage, extending the life of your concrete and keeping dirt and grime contained. 

In the winter, the snow, salt, filth, and muck that stick to your vehicles end up being an issue for both your garage floor and and the toys and equipment that you use throughout the year.

GrandMat is the best solution to protect them both. 

Garage Floor Protection from ATVs and Side-by-Sides

When we designed and created the Grand Mat, we did it because we were solving a dilemma in our own lives. We live in Minnesota — the land of 10,000 lakes and just as many miles of trails. And it’s not just about the salt and filth from the roads on our vehicles. We also spend our winters snowmobiling deep in the woods or out on the lakes on the way to our ice houses. We spend the other three seasons outdoors as well, covering our cars, trucks, and toys with mud and grime. Cruising the backroads on our Harleys. Hauling trailers and 5th wheels. 

And so the Grand Mat was created to help us solve the mess that our fun was making. 

Customized Garage Floor Protection

Not every garage is built the same, and not every garage is set up to effectively protect and store the more unconventionally-sized pieces of our inventory. This is why the Grand Mat can be custom-sized to fit exactly what you’re parking. 

Custom Motorcycle Mats  

This is a must-have no matter where you live, but is especially helpful if you live in a place where months out of the year are spent cleaning up salt, snow, dirt, grime, and mess. Your motorcycle deserves its own space for parking that will also keep it off the garage floor and all the other surrounding messes. 

Custom ATV Mats  

Don’t let your 4-wheelers leak on your garage floor. Don’t let the mud and filth flake and fall all over your garage and get tracked all over. Order a mat that will be the perfect size for all of your ATVs to park side-by-side. It will protect your floor and give your garage some much-needed organization. 

Custom Trailer Protection

Perhaps your trailer is getting beat up with the dirt bikes, four-wheelers, or even tools you’re constantly moving in and out. A custom-built trailer mat can be installed — and easily removed for cleaning! 

To order a custom-sized garage floor mat for your motorcycles or ATV’s or to custom outfit your trailer with a mat that will protect the floor and preserve your investment, talk to Grand Mat today. 

We’ll help you build the garage you need.

The Grand Mat is the answer you’re looking for to protect your concrete. Whether you’ve just built a home or just bought one, the concrete on your garage floor is prone to — is destined to — crack. It takes the brunt of 12-month-a-year abuse, with salt in the winter, dirt and grime in the summer, fluid leaks, and filth. 

The only way you can get the most out of your garage floor’s life is to keep it clean by stopping corrosive materials from settling on your floor. The only way to do that for the long haul is by purchasing a Grand Mat. 

Rugged Garage Floor Protection

The Grand Mat is durable. It’s strong and can withstand traffic and corrosive materials. The EDPM Rubber material from which it is made can withstand extreme heat and cold temperatures as well as high levels of stress. 

Effective Garage Door Protection 

The Grand Mat also contains the crud and mess that comes from your vehicles, ATV’s snowmobiles, and equipment. The 2.5-inch lip that surrounds the mat allows you to keep materials from spilling onto your concrete, and yet the mat is light and versatile enough to be easily removed from the garage and cleaned. 

Premium Garage Door Protection 

The Grand Mat is long-lasting. Unlike other garage protection solutions available on the market, you’re not buying a temporary solution for your garage when you buy a Grand Mat. It’s durability has been tested and allows you to make an investment that will last to protect your garage floor. 

Before another winter comes, connect with us at Grand Mat. We can custom size your mat or you can buy one of our standard models so that you can be sure that your new garage is protected from 12-month-a-year abuse. 

Gift Ideas for Dad –

For the Dad Who Hoses Off His Driveway

Fathers Day is coming quickly. While that may seem like it’s still a long distance out, we feel it’s our responsibility to stop you from the last minute Amazon gift card purchase or the on-the-way-to-Dad’s-house stop at Bass Pro Shops or the carwash to buy a gift certificate. 

Have you ever pulled into your dad’s driveway to find him sweeping out his clean garage? Have you stopped over while he’s midway through hosing down his driveway to get the dirt, leaves, and dust off of his pavement. Have you ever watched him raking a section of his lawn that — by everyone’s standards aside from your Dad’s — doesn’t need to be raked. 

If any of this describes your dad, we’ve solved the Father’s Day gift idea conundrum. 

Introducing the Grand Mat – The gift your dad is about to realize he can’t live without. 

The Grand Mat provides all the protection that his garage floor needs. It keeps oil spills and winter salt from mucking up his concrete. It keeps dirt and grime from staining his floor. It contains the crud and keeps equipment and cars clean. With a Grand Mat, the garage stays as meticulous as he wants it to be. 

At Grand Mat, the work we’re doing is protecting garage floors. But in a much more meaningful sense, we’re making Fathers Day dreams come true.
