Garage floor tiles

[P.J.]

I would like to cover my cemment new garage floor with tiles for my classic cars and am wondering what would you recommend for me to install.I have a lift. I have painted my floors before with epoxi paint and it is too slippery when wet even though I put sand in the paint.
What problems, best tiles ,best price and best retailer.
What has been your experience and recommendations.Pictures would be great.
Thanking you in advance

I did that to my double car attached garage several years ago Peter. Wish I hadn't now. Unfortunately the garage is our main entrance/exit spot for outside (mud room is off the garage entrance to the house) and also to the rear deck and pool so it gets a lot of traffic. Need to put runners down for the winter. For my situation it turns out to be just too high maintenance. For a garage that doesn't get my kind of traffic it may be OK. It does look cool though. Here's a pic of the one side.

If I recall the vinyl tiles came from Rona or Home Depot.

PJ, I used Race Deck tiles in my garage. It costs about $1,000 to do the two bays that I have in the pic (I didn't do the third bay on the other side of the wall). Great product, looks fantastic, easy to clean and your lift can go right on top of them. Go to garagejournal.com and you'll get a discount from Race Deck...

Mark,

How do you deal with oil, chemicals and other liquids that seep between the tiles and then get on top of the underlaying surface?

Hi Howard,

The tiles nest so tightly together that oil etc. will not seep between the seams. The are also engineered so oil, tranny fluid etc. will not stain them. I added some of their free flow tiles (the black ones with the grates in them) to increase air flow underneath the floor since it gets pretty damp here in the winter with snow etc. It is very easy to break one of the edges of the tiles apart and split the floor into 3 stips that I can drag onto the driveway in the spring and then powerwash the floor and tiles and reinstall. I did this in the fall and it only took 15 minutes with one person! These really are pretty slick [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] The racedeck.com website has some neat videos showing the product features and benefits.
