Garage floor snap tiles? RaceDeck **update pics***

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Looking to possibly put these down in a section of my garage. Who has the best price/product for the money? I know they aint cheap but what have you used?

[moparstuart]

  get the more solid feeling rubber one .  the hollow feeling plastic ones are cheap ( quality ) . Most of the company will send you samples .

  Mine in my office are 18 x 18 bigger ones , and i love them .

So you got the Race Deck XL's?  (18x18)

Im looking at the solid diamond plate design ones not the ventelated sytle

get samples , the diamond plate sample I got was the hard plastic and they were just not hi quality .
I like the rubber ones much better .   Mine have raised dots on them  red and black race checker patern . My salvage yard office  is all red white and black checkered flag racing patern .

 not great or clean , but here is the best pictures I have of my flooring , had it down for 5 years now it wears great and gets heavy duty traffic and part on it . Not beat up and all .

I installed the diamond plate Race Deck tiles about 6 years ago. They are great. Extremely sturdy and have had zero problems with them.

I watched the installation video on RaceDeck's website.  The snap-together plastic looks sorta flimsy & would seemingly sound hollow, as others have suggested.   Rubber tiles would seems to be a more solid soution.

That might work for the mopad, but it would take a lot of tile.  I would guess the Mopad to be about 500 square ?  What does this stuff cost?

There are a few options on car guy garage.  Vinyl, polyprepoline, etc... so you have options on tiles.

I'm taking mine up.  They don't recommend using jackstands on them.  They look OK, easy to install, and hold up well but time for a change.  I'm going to reuse them elsewhere I think.

I think I'm going to go with a good garage floor epoxy, after a really good prep.

I got no less then 8 samples of different material before I pulled the trigger . 

[41husk]

Do you request samples on line or do you deal directly with a rep?

i requested on line and they mailed them , it seems like the normal practice they all would send them

So these would be for a cosmetic look since jack stands and jacks would damage them? I was always wondering about spills and leaks on them when it seeps within the seams

mine came with a clear sealer to protect the surface and seams

Well got my RaceDeck tiles installed in my add on section of my garage.  Snapped them down in under an hour in the small 4 X 18 section I bought.
Nice & heavy duty product (rolled my full loaded 1500 lb+ tool box on them without a hitch...not sure how a jack stand would hold up though)
One day Ill buy the rest of the tiles to do the whole garage.  For now in the spring Ill repaint the floor in the car area.

Looks good! are they expensive?

Oooooo! Ahhhhhh! Looks good!

I'm more interested in how you added onto the garage though, esp. the roofline portion.

[jb666]

Very nice!! I recently added on to the left side of my garage, as well!!

[Neal_J]

Chris:  Wow, that looks sharp!

Well done.

Ya c'mon, give us some pics of the outside of the garage and the addition.   

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Thanks all....here's a before & "almost" after (new garage door & opener & gutters have been installed since this pic....need to take a new one)
Would have loved to go bigger but still wanted to save some back yard space (40x100 lot)

Did you pour a new slab under the Charger?
Did you put a header in along the top of the wall that was removed?  (you had to have put one in i suppose)

No new slab under the car...existing was done about 14 years ago & in great shape (save for the peeling paint)

Yes a 2x10 plywood sandwiched header was installed so there are no posts needed in the garage

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Heres the completed garage with new door installed & gutters....only thing left is to make up a PVC gate to replace the red wood one temporarily leaning in place

[69bronzeT5]

Wow, beautiful looking garage!

[TUFCAT]

Geez, for that kind of money and effort, I would consider an add-on to park two cars.   

Nice floor though!

Yeah i would have too but if you read in my above post my 40x100 lot size wouldnt allow me & still have some "back yard" space.....note the close proximity to my neighbors garage.....

So the before picture above was taken before the new concrete went in?  When did the floor grate running the width of the door opening get cut in?  Thats what i was wondering..  I bet its nice to have that to keep water out of the garage.

Crikey! That thing is still dinky. Looks good though.

[jb666]

Man you did an awesome job!! I can't believe how nice this came out!!

Yes I had the front section redone to incorporate the drain....everything pitches to the backyard & I used to get water under the door....no more
The whole drive way needs to be done next....did the sidewalk & curbs earlier this year....only have one lung left

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Man you did an awesome job!! I can't believe how nice this came out!!

Thanks Jeff....I didnt do it though....only wrote the checks

[kidsixpack]

The orange and black looks really cool!   The garage really looks great too!  I went the cheaper route.
