As for staining or leaving indentations etc, I see no marks left by tires or jacks etc in my floor. The pics below show the small area the car on the lift occupy on the flooring itself. A small pad front and back on each leg. There is no distortion/crushing/collapse and I do not expect any, ever.
I can't believe how long painted finishes take from beginning to cured. If you really have a thing for a painted floor, I'd get the absolute top of the line and don't go cheap on it, and do it when you build yourself a house/garage. The prep in a garage like mine is a serious deal breaker for effort/time. The tiles were under 2 hours per bay. I spent about 3hrs more on the carpet tiles on the lifted area at the back. If done all at once, less than a day.

Dock, Are you still happy with your floor?
Did you deal with Ken when you had the work done?
Thanks,

I do like the look of RaceDeck but live on the East Coast where the weather is quite stormy.
Q: How do you keep the RaceDeck tiles clean after tough weather weeks/months resulting in the tracking in of dirt, small rocks and tire debris? I assume that I MUST have to wash, lift and clean many of the tiles along the path of the tire tracks? Am i wrong?? I mean; you dont just take a mop and clean the top of the RaceDeck tiles and ignore all that debris which has collected in the crevasses between the floor and the tiles??
Thanks for explaining this...

I've been in the epoxy install business for a very long time. If anybody says they can complete any job in 3 days, they have no idea what they are talking about. Yes epoxy fades with UV exposure, the only alternative is urethanes, however the odor of urethanes makes home garages a problem. I've sense sold the business, if anybody has questions pm me, i'll try to point you in the right direction. I no longer make a living from this, and see lots of screwed up applications and unhappy customers.

Jorgen,
Can you wash vehicles in the garage with the non free flow tiles without causing an issue. Also are the tiles noisy as some have alluded to.
Thanks.

Hi
RaceDeck can easily be mopped and cleaned like any other floor, but with greater ease since RaceDeck is non-porous and resists most all house-hold chemicals and petroleum products. The seams between each module are very snug and create hydro-static tension so almost no liquids will seep through, unless you spill a bucket of something, then it can. I would say that it is almost impossible for 'debris' to fall through the seems on our solid top styles. As for moisture, RaceDeck is a patent full-suspension structure that allows moisture and air to circulate and flow, eliminating all moisture and mildew issues.
In my garage I actually have our open grid FreeFlow style flooring where I all of the snow and slop during the winter can melt through the floor and out the door, making for a clean floor every morning when I head out. I also can wash my car in the garage all winter, which is really nice.
As for any spills and dust that may get under the floor, when is the last time you pulled out the carpet in your house to get underneath and clean? My floor has been in place for nearly 10 years and I have never had to remove the floor..
