"These mats are fantastic ! They do what you need them to do.. and that is contain all the water from snow on your vehicle ! What a relief I had the first morning I looked out in the garage and saw them work !! I had just invested alot of money in a new garage floor and didn't want to be mopping up snow and mud from my floor. Highly recommend."

"I got this to go under my Lightning. It fits nicely and seems to be flattening out on the heated floor."

"It is really a great thing. Already our garage is so much drier than previous. It’s easy enough to get rid of the water that gathers with a squeegee but it’s best to lift with two people to fully clear the water that gathers. Great purchase."

"I bought this for my 23 Lincoln corsair. So far it is working awesome! I park in my woodworking shop and no more ice and and snow melting and water running under my machines and all the way to the walls. I have heated floors, so the water evaporates overtime. I am very happy with it so far."

Built for Canadian garages.
Floor Defender Garage Containment Mats catch the snow, salt, mud and oil your vehicle brings in, so it stays on the mat instead of soaking into your garage floor.
Raised foam edges hold everything inside the mat, and the waterproof, UV-stabilized vinyl has an anti-skid surface. It's built for Canadian winters and useful all year.
What it does
- Traps snow, slush, road salt, mud, grease and chemicals behind raised foam edges
- Protects concrete and epoxy floors from salt damage and stains
- Holds wash water when you clean your vehicle indoors, until you can dispose of it properly
- Sets up in minutes with no tools or brackets, and rolls up for storage
Good to know: Not suitable for studded tires, which can damage the mat surface.

Built from heavy-duty 900 GSM vinyl
Floor Defender Garage Containment Mats are made from extra-durable 900 GSM vinyl fabric, built to stand up to Canadian winters. Each mat is vacuum-packed into a compact box for easy shipping and storage.
Wrinkles out of the box are normal
Folding the mat for shipping leaves creases when you first unroll it. They relax on their own once the mat is laid out on your garage floor, and they don’t affect how the mat works.
Vinyl relaxes faster in warmth, so creases can take longer to settle in a cold garage. To speed things up, mop the mat with hot water or go over the creases with a hair dryer.
Warranty
Some wrinkles are normal when the product is first removed from packaging. They smooth out the fastest in a heated garage however the product works well in all environments.

Questions, answered
What are garage floor mats used for?
Garage floor mats like the Floor Defender are designed to catch snow, mud, salt, oil, and other messes that vehicles bring into the garage.
They help protect your garage floor from damage, reduce slip hazards, and keep the area clean.
Which size do I need?
Measure your vehicle's length and width and leave room on each side so snow falling off bumpers and mirrors lands on the mat. If you're between sizes, choose the larger one, or call (800) 624-0041 and we'll size it for you.
What's the difference between Regular and Pro?
The Pro version has a tatami grain patterned backing for better grip, which helps reduce lifting and wrinkling. It’s ideal for garages where mats are used long-term or under frequent movement.
Can I drive over the barrier?
Yes. You drive over the Ethafoam barrier to park, and it holds the meltwater inside the mat.
How do I clean it?
Simply drag the mat outside and rinse it off with a hose. For stubborn dirt or oil, use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or solvents.
Will it move when I drive on it?
Velcro pads hold it in place. The Pro's tatami backing adds extra grip and resists lifting.
Do the wrinkles in the mat go away?
Yes, wrinkles caused by shipping will relax over time. Warm temperatures help speed up the process. You can also mop with hot water or use a hair dryer to reduce wrinkles faster.
Are these mats slippery when wet?
The mats are made with an anti-skid surface, but like any vinyl product, they can become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking or driving over a wet mat.
Can I use these mats with studded tires or snow chains?
No, we don’t recommend using the mats with studded tires or chains, as they can damage the vinyl surface and compromise the mat’s durability.
How much liquid can these garage floor mats hold?
The Car-size mat holds up to 62 gallons of liquid, while the Truck-size mat holds up to 70 gallons—enough to trap melting snow, rain, or vehicle runoff effectively.

Reviews
Lots wrinkles
"It appears that the wrinkles in the The mats I purchased may not “relax” as promised. It’s been a week and they look the same as they did when they came out of the box. Lots of wrinkles still there. The quality of the material looks very good though."
Wish I had ‘gone up a size’
"I’m disappointed that I ordered a city car mat for my Honda Civic. Honda Civic is not a city car size match. I should have ordered a midsize car mat. The city car size might work for a smart car, :("
I like the quality and
"I like the quality and hopefully durability. Unfortunately, the cooler weather has arrived, so getting the winkles out will have to wait until Spring. A little frustrated with the instructions. The sticky side of the velcro pad is not sticking to the underside of the mat. I think the instructions should recommend cleaning the area where the pad will be applied with alcohol before trying to apply it. Not sure I can get 6 replacement pads?"
Read on...
"Bought the 16' containment mat. The mat itself seems good; although haven't tested it through a winter yet. Perfect size, good size containment walls. The problem that ALL these containment mat guys have got to solve is holding to a garage floor. The hook and loop (Velcro) pads do not work effectively. Either the top pad breaks away from the mat or the bottom one doesn't stick to the floor. So.. the mat ends up sliding a bit every time you enter or exit your garage. If we all had heated garages, this might not be an issue but we don't."
Two Garage Mats
"One for my ruck and one for our SUV and they work great. Very durable. I am now going to order a mat for my snowblower. I checked with local companies and their products did not look as good the Floor Defenders and they did not look like they would hold water as well Canada Mats. Also, even with shipping the Canada Mats were a better price making them a better overall value."
Small car garage mat
"I am not happy with how the heat in the process of wrapping the ends has made them impossible to lay flat therefore my wife and i are always tripping on them. The heating process made a mess of the edges. Not happy with the product and may have to quit using it for safety reasons as we are getting older"
floor mat
"the mat is great quality. I wish it was wider. the pictures show more room on each side, but when the car is on there is not much room on either side could have been 2' wider."
So far so good
"Arrived folded up and it will never look as smooth and flat as the advert photo. But it does indeed contain the snow, water and dirt as advertised. Happy purchaser."
Too many creases
"The first two mats I purchased were packaged better with regard to creasing the material. The folds never really came out of the first two after several years but the newest on was crumpled while folding it for shipping. If they could be rolled up instead of folded for shipping, it would make for a much better product."
The mat serves it purpose.
"The mat serves it purpose. But the material is not flexible enough to lie flat on the floor of the garage. The mat remains uneven on the floor after several days on floor. This is going to detract from its effectiveness in containing snow etc."
