Plan That Groovy Garage
True auto enthusiasts desire a personalized garage with the best in comfort and technology to work on their cars.
Building Cars in A Luxury Garage with A Finished Floor and A Vaulted Ceiling:
INSTALL A GARAGE CAR LIFT
Every auto enthusiast needs the best gear available, including a powerful vehicle lift. A car lift allows you to fully access your vehicle’s undercarriage without having to sit on the ground. A good lift is essential if you work on cars frequently. Always remember to plan the lifting height with respect to the ceiling and garage door.
REINFORCED GARAGE FLOOR
Good-looking garage designs are not enough. They must also be durable and useful. If you have a home vehicle lift, the garage floor must be reinforced concrete to withstand the added weight. Check with your auto-lift manufacturer or custom house builder, but 4 to 6 inches of reinforced concrete may be required to hold your lift in your garage.
INSULATE THE ENTIRE SPACE
When considering dream garage ideas, consider both the practical and the whimsical. The garage door has to be modified to open above the vehicle lift. Any luxury garage also needs to be insulated to keep out the summer heat. In a Temperature-Controlled Luxury Garage, if there is a heat/air unit inside, you can keep the outside air out and the inside air in.
GARAGE CEILING VAULTED
Also included in a 4-car garage design plan is a high-quality vehicle lift. However, most automotive lifts require extra ceiling height to accommodate the raise and the vehicle being lifted. We prefer a vaulted ceiling above the car lift side of the garage. A vaulted ceiling in your ideal garage also allows for more overhead storage or a handy ceiling-mounted heater.

GARAGE HEATER AND AC
You have many alternatives for garage heaters and air conditioners. Cheap floor space heaters are popular among guys. But a space heater can’t heat a 4-car garage. Many prefer ceiling-mounted heaters since they are out of the way and away from flammables. And can provide a lot more power to heat a wide room. Dealers will help you choose the finest garage heater for your situation.
A LUXURIOUS GARAGE FLOOR EPOXY
Don’t neglect the floors while planning your garage design! Many suggest a long-lasting garage floor epoxy. Your desired garage floor comes in a variety of styles.
- Concrete sealed, stained, or painted
- Epoxy paint
- Garage tiles
- Rubber or vinyl interlocking garage tiles
- Vinyl flooring rolls
- Tuff Carpet
Most dealers recommend epoxy garage floor coating because it is attractive, durable, and has a fantastic clear finish for easy cleanup. Colors abound. It’s not paint. It is thicker than paint, consisting of a thermosetting resin layer that hardens as it dries.
Garage storage is an important aspect of garage design. Garage organization shelves and wall-mounted hooks may make your garage look nice, clean, and ready for work. Designers recommend robust bespoke built-in desks, workbenches, and cabinets. Depending on your workshop goals, you may wish to include movable storage and reinforced metal shelving. Err on the side of heavy-duty to protect your tools and prevent shelf bending or collapse.

GARAGE OFFICE DESIGN
What is a premium auto garage without a computer command center ready for all diagnostic checks? If you plan to work on cars in your garage, make sure to designate a separate office space or nook along the garage wall.
WHERE ARE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS?
A luxurious garage also has many electric drops for compressors and high-powered tools. Do not compromise on electrical capacity if you intend to utilize your garage as a workshop. A quality garage also has plenty of power outlets on the walls.
