Default If you have Plastic Tile Flooring please come in.

I'm considering the interlocking plastic tiles for my shop and wanted to get some users feedback. Do they warp or stain over time? What are some pros and cons? Where did you purchase from?

Thanks,

Joshua

I put the peel and stick black and white linoleum squares sold here in Mass. at Ocean State Job Lot down on my garage floor. They look great, wear great and the maintenance is just like a kitchen or bathroom floor. It was cheap too. They do not curl up and maintain a nice shine. Creates a nice showroom look at a fraction of the cost of all the fancy interlocking stuff. This store may be indigenous to my region only, but I'm sure there are others in your area with a similar product.

What sort of prep needed for the floor before they go down?
What sort of cost?
How long have you had the tiles down?

I did the Grey epoxy from home depot and love it.
You have to acid wash the floor first though!

I used the snap together plastic tiles. Only prep is a clean floor. Took approx six hrs from start to finish. I got them from www.motormat.com. The cost was approx $2.40 per sq ft. or, just over $1000.00 for my 21 x 22 foot garage. They have approx 10 colors to choose from.

I know you asked about racedeck, but here's a shot of the epoxy floor I just had put in. It was just under $3.00 a square foot, which included the repair of two cracks in the slab. Three year guarantee and super easy to clean up. Does get a little slick when it's wet though.

I have had the race deck over a year and it is great, not one issue to date.
