Here are the results from a weekend home upgrade project. When I had the house built about 3 yrs ago, we stained the garage floor black. As you can see in the photos, that stain didn't hold up very well against hot tires. It would have been suitable for foot traffic only. I got some quotes for doing epoxy floors, but with my oversize 4-car garage it would have been in the $5-6K range to come grind, prep, and lay down the epoxy. I started doing some research on the garage tiles instead, and came across a website that was mentioned on a few car forums. These tiles are the "GarageDeck" from www.BigFloors.com (http://www.bigfloors.com/GarageDeck-P15.aspx). They had a Black Friday sale last week, it was worth an extra 10% off their normal pricing. Since they are out of state, we also avoid sales tax, and they have free shipping too. Everything showed up in 4 days. My garage is approx 850 sq-ft, and these tiles cost me $1600 shipped. The site also has a handy design program that you can type in your general garage dimensions and then it places a grid across the area and allows you to drag and drop tiles to make your own design. Then it keeps track of how many of each color you need to order. Pretty neat.

Installation was pretty simple, just line up the edges and hammer them with a rubber mallet. A friend came over and helped, we knocked this floor out in about 3 hours, including a few custom corners and such that we cut with my band saw to fit perfectly. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product and the quick shipping from BigFloors.com.

Looks impressive for a good price. Is there any movement in these when you drive on them?.

 

Very nice! Jealous

 

That looks very nice

 

I love the pattern.

 

Thanks all.

No movement when driven on. The only (minor) complaint that some people make is a comment on how they make a clack noise when you walk on them. Not really a big deal, to me. I wasn't building a library

 

Kudos, looks sharp.

 

looks much better! nice contrast with red stripes

 

Sweet! Looks great with the pattern you went with.
