Default Garage Floor Inter-locking Tiles

I've looked at several garage inter-locking floor tile brands over the Internet. Most are 12x12 inches and I need about 600 square feet of them. Have any of you ever used these and are you pleased with the product? Can anyone recommend a site that had the best price? The best I've found is around $2.89 per square foot.

Thanks in advance,
Rick in Tennessee

$2.89 is cheap. most of the stuf I have seen runs arounf $5 to $6. They look nice, 2 of my neighbors have them. I am not sure I trust them for floor stands with a car on them, I guess you could use plywood under the jacks and it would be ok. They pretty tho

I'd be happy to post pics of my Race Deck floor if I could ever figure out how to post pics, but that aside, it's a great floor. Somewhere on the forum a sales rep posted about $2.89 a foot and I paid $3.50 a foot directly from Race Deck. Anyway, the floor is great, easy to clean, easy to install, oil, etc wipes right up. The floor is basically an ABS plastic, so it's very durable. Looks good, and like I said, easy to install! Good Luck!

I used MotorMat in my garage. It's basically the same as RaceDeck except it has a perforated surface....I love it. I don't recall the price (I installed it about 5 yrs ago) but it's probably about the same as racedeck. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Keep in mind, it is still plastic. I'm sure it can tolerate flying sparks, etc, but I wouldn't be aiming a torch at it or anything like that.

If you wanted to LOOK like race deck but not pay the high dollar..you can try the bigfoot tile. I think its a little thinner than race deck but almost half the cost.

My question about the perforated tiles is wouldn't oil go down into the holes and stain the concrete and be extremely hard to clean out of the holes?

Holes??? My floor has no holes. It's a solid, diamond plate pattern, interlocking tiles. Clean up is a snap.

Well I first put down heavy gauge 2 mil plastic sheeting as a vapor barrier. Any minor spills/leaks really don't travel down the holes at least I haven't noticed that. It's just a quick wipe with a paper towel and once in a while with a sponge mop.
