Default Racedeck Flooring

Purchased some racedeck flooring from a neighbor of mine who sold a property recently that had a large garage/workshop. They are racedeck XL tiles and although they have some age on them they were in great shape. Used a table saw to trim the pieces to fit. I have 200 sq feet left over.... I may do my 8x16 shed next. Looks awesome with the Vette! Enjoy!

Was looking into this for my garage, but dang pricey. You were fortunate to find it locally as you did.

I have had my garage done for over ten years now and it still looks great. I give it a good cleaning twice a year and the rain and snow just melts and drains away as the underside has accommodations for drainage.
I even installed a four post lift on right on top of the tiles, drilled right through the tiles into the concrete.

Someday I hope to put some of that down in my garage. Very nice stuff and you were fortunate to have found that locally and in such good shape.

Pounder - Yes my wife gets the other bay. She calls it the checkerboard. We now just need to find large pieces so we can play.

I never would have bought it new. I got it for about 25% of what it would have cost brand new, definitely a steal!

Thanks for the compliments!

Looks great, nice job on the install. How thick is it and what does the transition to concrete look like at the end of the garage?

I have the Diamond Alloy in my garage, purchased from Racedeck at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus Ohio, it was discounted 25%, was shipped free & the transition pieces were also free with the purchase.

Only issue I have is my Nitto Invo's leave marks on the floor due to the soft compound of the tires.

I looked at one brand of garage tile and while the tiles were a good price, the company said I needed all the other layers under the tile which came to a total 4 times the price of the tile. My guess is none of those other things are needed but it would be good to know for sure.
