Race deck floor in your garage

Anyone have the black and white race deck flooring in your garage? If yes, can you post some pics? I am thinking of getting it installed. Any recommendations of where to purchase?

Also, for those of yo who have it, is there an issue with moisture from your tires or car (when wet from rain or snow) getting under the flooring (and causing mold, etc.)? Thanks.

i helped a friend install his and it will be impossible to keep white clean. Looks nice when first put down but represents a major PITA if you want it staying that way. If you are local to Long Island and want to check it out, PM me.

I have www.kiwitile.com, it works great. I tried both (racedeck and Kiwi) and went with Kiwi. I love it.

Thanks Roy. Have you had any trouble with moisture getting underneath the tiles? How often do you typically clean them? Thanks.

As posted, the Kiwi tiles have small holes in them so water can get under them and evaporate. Small dirt falls into the holes so the tiles look cleaner longer than the racedeck imo. I sweep out the big stuff and use a vacuum cleaner on it ever three months or so. That's it... Very easy to maintain.

I played around with several colors, and found black and graphite to be a great match that looks fantastic and doesn't show much dirt/dust/etc...

You won't be sorry if you do black and graphite, but black/red or grpahite/red look nice too.
