Default Garage Project

I recently added insulation, wallboard, paint and Race Deck flooring to part of our garage. Still more to go, but it's a start and it was a fun project. Here's some pics.

Looks great! I'm also pricing out some Race Deck flooring options. Would love to complete the project this winter (Florida).

Check out bigfloors.com. They had the best pricing and free shipping when I was researching and pricing.

Thanks. What was your cost per square foot (1 tile)?

Do you have to do floor prep before laying the Race Deck ?

Do they offer different designs or you merly do your own?

Looks great..............

Looking great ! Love what you have done with the place !

I love the BF Goodrich poster. I have the same one, and a few others... . Hard as hell to find these now. I got mine about 10 years ago...

Around $3.00 per tile. No shipping or sales tax either.

Thanks. No prep, it just snaps together. I had to cut the last row, but did on table saw and cut like butter. They have about 10 colors, you design your layout on their website, it'll tell you how many of each to order. Real simple. On the edging, just make sure you order the correct male or female connection.

Their website is really cool in designing the flooring options. Race Deck direct quoted me $2.99/tile for the Diamond tile. Not bad, however S&H was not included. I didn't know about the male/female edging difference. Something I need to clarify once I'm ready to order. I am planning it to go wall-to-wall the width of the garage (accomodating the 1/2" space requirement on each side) and then plan to edge the interior side as well as the edge by the doors.
