To the original poster... that looks like the same stuff I have. It warns that it isn't for use outside because it doesn't like UV. Well, my garage is our main entrance in and out of the house so we leave it open quite frequently when we are home and it breaks down in the sun big time. It lasted a few years but now mine is pretty well trashed for the half of the garage closest to the door. Just an FYI because the thought of redoing it is like nails on a chalkboard for me... so I'd highly suggest keeping the door shut as much as possible.

It is very narrow, I will admit that.. But in my defense when I was asking the wife for a room in the house (she had no idea what I had planned) she told me that if I cleaned out the "junk" room I could have that one. Well after cleaning it out the following weekend I decided to cut a hole in the side of the house and throw in a garage door... She was not amused at all.

I'm considering Race Deck or Ctek. But I have a 3 car garage....

I like the parking pads considering I had the same issues over time. Where did you get yours? Should definitely help with flat spotting!

I did my 3 car garage in an Epoxy about two years ago. So far it has held up very well. The floor was sanded and prepped very well before the Epoxy was put down. No tire marks and no chipping so far. I was told that preparation of the floor was important.
Good Luck.

You are very correct with that statement, i did a self leveling cement on mine before the application, so we will see, hopefully in a couple years I will have the same success story!

MT, what kind of vinyl tile? Looks great!

ChiefBoats

Maybe consider vinyl tile, tough, easy to clean, stuff lasts forever........and a lot cheaper.

Steve Garrett

@ChiefBoats Any specific brand or brands you recommend?

Jbnick

Suggestion: Check out SWISSTRAX

Got everything at Lowes, commercial floor tile, latex water clean up glue, tile cutter (rent those), glue spreader trowel. I had fun picking my colors, futzting with designs, and a total feeling of accomplishment when done. Did most myself, about 1600 sq ft, took about a week working in the evenings. Naturally smaller area, quicker job.
Good luck if you go that route.

Armstrong. It is available at Lowes and Home Depot at about 80 cents a square foot. All in was $1.00 a square foot.

Steve Garrett

I see a lot of different Armstrong tile. Which type did you guys use?

ChiefBoats

On the first page of the link, the tile is the same, just different names of designs and colors. I used the white and gray in the first row, then the blue and red further down.

Did Race deck in one day. 3 car garage. Vinyl siding on all 4 walls. Nothing attached to the walls. Everything free standing. No paint and clean the walls with a dust mop. 15 years since and looks brand new with almost zero upkeep. Leaving 3 motorcycles, cars, rolling tool chests and everything else out in the driveway in the weather for a week to do an epoxy floor was not an option.
Could not be more pleased with the result. Truly a one-and-done project.

Mr. Livingston

Don't epoxy your Garage floor. I did it and within a few years, it was cracking, flaking, destroyed. Costed me big money in the beginning to do after my house was built. New home. I did all the prepping 100% and still after 3 years it started to look like sh*t so I recommend leaving it alone. Bare concrete for me from now on.
