Hope I put this in the correct forum. Has anyone had recent experience with the snap together garage flooring tiles?  Brands and approximate price. I hear Racedeck is good but would like to hear about any others. Pics would be nice also.

 

Thanks

 Yeah, I agree !! But a good coat of floor epoxy is a must if you want to keep the dust down. I've epoxied my floor twice in the last 18 years.

Nice product, expensive, gets chewed up over time with floor jack's, axle stands. Welding, grinding, dragging stuff around will take it's toll. It's plastic.

Looks nice and last's if it in a parking garage or showroom, but a working garage or shop will beat it up.

Did I mention expensive? my quote was almost $4/sq/ft plus edging plus tax. Doesn't sound like alot but that was going to be almost 3grand for me, too rich for my blood when I knew it would get beat on.

Default Re: Looking for DIRTY RaceDeck and Swisstrax pics

There are 100's of photos of RaceDeck in use on this forum alone, one thing about the GJ members, they like to spend a lot of time in the garage working on their passion.  
I found a few photos on a quick search and this post quote from G20V

“I hear a lot of people say "You can't use Racedeck in a working garage...." or "Oh you wouldn't want to spill anything on that!"... well, I have been and Chemicals. I've also degreased an engine bay in the garage. It was at night so I just opened the garage a couple inches to let the water / crud run out. WD-40, penetrant, brake cleaner, brake fluid, gear oil, it all wipes up in seconds. Jack stands. If I think about it I'll throw some OSB squares under them, doesn't always happen tho. I also use the hydraulic jack right on the floor.” Member G20V

I had a commercial "EPOXY" floor covering put down before I moved into garage. The Co. that did it, ground down the fresh concrete w/diamond blade grinder, then applied a primer, then the 1st. coat of coloured epoxy, 2nd coat had a "fine" sand mixed in to reduce the chance of slipping on floor. All this took 4 days to do!!! Cleans up extremely easy of all spills, makes moving anything on it ie. creeper,engine stand, & cherry picker a "Breeze" I have "chipped" in once when an Axle stand failed & leaned over on one corner of stand, & welding sparks will burn the surface!! Other than those 2 things I'm extremely happy with it.

I use several coats of epoxy floor paint. In high traffic areas its worn away after about 5-6 years.

Ok, no need to answer if you haven't had recent experience with the snap together garage flooring tiles?I'm looking for feedback on these tiles. Not epoxy or other coatings. Thanks
