Alison Hammond reveals her garage transformation with vented floor tiles and personalised infrared heater
The 'This Morning' presenter has recently moved home and has started her home renovation with her garage in an incredible transformation
Alison Hammond has revealed her garage transformation that includes vented floor tiles and a personalised infrared heater.
The 49-year old 'This Morning' TV presenter recently moved house from her family home in Solihull, Birmingham, and has been busy renovating the new house, with one of the first jobs being to rectify the beige garage.
In the star's self-proclaimed "first-ever garage" she wanted something special done, and rather than opting for a garage conversion, she decided to do something unique, which we'll take a look at below.
What work was done?
The white walls were painted anthracite black whilst ribbed vented (allowing oils and liquids to pass through) and rubber black and blue tiles were installed for the flooring.
A custom logo was also installed on the floor, spelling out AH. The wall was also fitted with a personalised infrared heating system bearing the presenter's initials.
A separate area was also created for gym equipment away from a marked zone with the blue tiles for cars to park.
How was it done?
The previous ceramic tiling in the garage was taken out and the garage was cleared out to make way for the transformation.

The work was done in two days by cutting the tiles to fit the exact size of the garage floor and then hammering the tiles into place, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
The infrared heater was then installed onto the wall with wall plugs, heating the garage by transmitting infrared rays around the room in what David Hilton claims is one of the best ways to heat a garage as it "heat objects rather than the air" and so "a good insulation level is not always required".
