Checkered Garage Flooring
I am looking into upgrading my garage floor, and leaning towards using the modular interlocking squares (black & white checkered). There seems to be quite a few of them on the market. --- Can anyone recommend a particular brand and source that is easy to install, reasonably priced and obviously good looking. Of course there will be a C5 (Z16) sitting ontop of it!!!!
Thank You

CostCo had "Moto Flooring" on special... around $1200 for a complete 2 car garage..."Racedeck" is around the same... maybe a little more...
Just keep one thing in mind.... If you EVER plan to jack you car on these floors... they could get dimpelled permanently... check with the manufac. before you commit.
I've heard some good things about the PSI rating of VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile), but I haven't been able to do too much research on it yet... it's supposed to be about 1/3 the cost too.
Hope this helps...

I installed VCT tile in my garage last summer. I used black speckled and pale gray speckled tile. I set it up in 2ft by 2 ft squares creating the checkered pattern. A good coat of wax and it looks great. I've jacked up the car on it spilled anti-freeze and oil all over it - just wipe it up.
Total cost for 2 car garage was under $500.
