My earlier post should have stated Gladiator Garage Works...dunno what happened. Thanks for the 2 companies Scott. Both look interesting....I will research farther.

 

Your garage looks great!! I am preparing to do the same. Kiwi tiles look very similar to Race Deck's. Did you happen to check them out? Now help me out here- on Kiwi's web site it says $3.49 per tile, but $2.93 per sq ft. Aren't they 12in tiles??

 

RaceDeck was much more expensive approaching $5/ft. The Kiwi tiles are like 13.1 x 13.1 (I think) but they are not 12 x 12 for sure. My next job is to paint the walls white and then get the organizing system and then I'm done.

 

JK, if u washed your car inside the garage, would the water just seep below those holes and just stay there? im thinking about those tiles but i need to wash my car inside the garage during wintertime

 

No, it would run out as the tiles are actually raised off the floor surface by a bunch of little feet. This system is great! To clean you could hose the floor and the water would go according to the slope of your garage floor.

 

Don't forget adequate lighting for your beautie(s).

 

thx JK - btw paint the walls RED, not white!!

btw can u post pics of ramp edges if you used any? i'm curious how the edges to the driveway/garage door turned out

 

I have Gladiator Garage works. My stuff is all on wheels for easy moving and cleaning. I have two large standing cabinets with shelving, a short tool cabinet with sliding drawer, and the freezer refridgerator (My wife wanted extra freezer space so she got me the fridge for my Christmas gift). I love the stuff but have not seen the craftsman version, it came out in my area after the Gladiator. If I recall, the Gladiator is made-owned by whirlpool. I haven't done the floor b/c I'm thinking about a whole new 5 car instead of the 2 1/2 I currently have. I don't have any of the wall mounted stuff and have framed pix instead. I would suggest the diamond plate style aluminum light switch covers and outlet covers--I got mine from Griot's. Thanks for the info on Kiwi, I will look into it. As for the quality of Gladiator, it is thin metal stuff, I expected much heavier, thicker, stronger, etc., like in a real garage tool cabinet, but I haven't had any problems with denting or sagging shelving. They look really nice kind of gray black textured speckle with aluminum look diamond plate doors. The wheels are nice and big and hefty. Let us know what you decide.

 

I can't do red walls only because I will be selling this house in the next 18 months or so, so I am staying with neutral colors. I really wanted the floor in a black/red checkerboard but my wife convinced to stay with the black/grey for resale purposes.

I am not done with the "cuts" yet and that includes the end piece for the ramp edges. I will post a pic of that when I am done.

 

Thanks for the info on Gladiator...I need to see the Sears product up close. It looks very nice on the web site, but you can't go by that. I will keep you all posted.

 

JK i just noticed u got a E55 and a TT - whichi 1 do u find driving more??

 

The E55 is my daily driver. The TT is my fun car. They are both phenomenal cars in their own way. IMO the E55 is actually a tick quicker from 40+, but that will change as soon as my mods are done. The E55 can't take a turn though. The TT is much more fun to drive overall. I have a deposit on the new M5, but we'll see if I pull the trigger when the time comes. The interior/exterior styling might prevent that from happening.

 

Killer! I guess I will have to do this too.

 

DO you cut the tiles on the edges to make a perfect fit?

 

JK, I may go your way. I sent you a PM. Call me.
