Default Anybody Done Their Garage Floor In Tile?

Like The Title Reads, I Was Thinking Of The Black And White Tiles In My Garage. Has Anyone Done This And If So What Kind Of Tile And How Did It Turn Out. Any Suggestions On Ways You Would Do It After The Fact? Does It Hold Up? Thanks For The Input.

You should get a lot of responses. Many of the members have used tiles.

I doubt if you get to the Southwest Forum very much - since you live in Tennessee, so here's a thread with pics that one of the guys I know did.....

I had mine done with ceramic tile, also put it up on the walls 53" with a border, looks great, and feels nice in the winter with the radiant floor heat. We build all high end custom homes here in Illinois and that seems to be a norm for our customers. Have a custom home we are doing right now that has a 2000 sq ft garage and we are doing the floor and partial walls in ths garage.

I did my about 2 years ago in black and white. I bought them from home depot they are made buy armstrong and the glue is sold there also( henry 430). They look great and are pretty strong I had cars on jack stands and no problems with floor. Its time for me to strip finish off floor and repolish to get the high gloss shine back. Would highly recommened and would do it all over again in a minute. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
