garage floor tiles

[JWerner2]

I been searching around and found a few different places for garage floor tiles.

I know a few members here have done it so I am wondering if anyone has a online store of preference?

Im not sure what I want yet. Im kind of tired of the checker board look and IMO my garage isnt the appropriate size to look right for me.


When they remodeled the store I worked in they did the fish department in water like tiles which looked awesome but Im not sure how that will go with a car theme.

Suggestions?


Im also thinking about just painting the floor a solid color. I kind of want to do my walls in something different than white just to look cool but just like the flooring Im not sure what would match the theme of a garage and not make the room dark.

I’m just doing the grey floor paint and throwing down some soft mats to stand on. I thought about cork or linoleum but that gets kind of pricy.

I remember a segment on this on spiketv's powerblock a while back...

I forgot most of it though. Lol

These are like $1.49 a square foot or something. Im looking into other wood flooring for the kids play room. Im looking for the interlocking temporary ones but I cant find any.

I could do them in a different pattern than the checker board but...... I have been blank with creativity lately.

The water like ones are different material but sturdy. I dont remember where the store got them for the remodel.

Im kicking my self in the ass now cause back then they had more then enough to do a large bath room left over and someone was able to snag 'em for free.

Maybe I'll just paint it black and paint white lines like a parking space.


Ha, or a handicapped like space for the wife:lol:

Epoxy coat is the way to go, any color with or with out flakes. http://www.originalcolorchips.com/
Just a example site, but the epoxy coat is sweet.

I'd go with the paint as well. I looked into the floor tiles for a 16x24 garage and it was way too expensive for my taste.

The epoxy is nice. I forgot about that.

having dealt with epoxy flooring many times.... make sure you scrub the piss out of the floor with some acid. I cant think of the acid name right now, but its used for cleaning brick, metal and concrete. The epoxy dries hard as hell and last like a mofo! The prep is where its at though.

+1. There are some cheap interlocking rubber tiles that autogeek sold, I'm not sure if they're still on there.
