I had RaceDeck in my last garage. I liked it, but I had a design with a red outline and then black and white checkerboard inside and it showed dirt pretty badly.
If you pull a wet car in, you’re going to spend a lot of time mopping or wiping to make them look like showroom again. They stood up extremely well to the car load and to jacks. When I pulled them up when I sold the house there was no penetration of oil or
other fluids underneath. Of course, my cars didn’t really leak anything significant at the time, and things like motor oil wiped right off the surface of the tile when it dripped. They have a new wood-look tile that I’m considering for our new weekend house. It looks pretty sophisticated: If you go with the epoxy, based on what I’m reading from other listers, you might want to consider these. They serve the dual purpose of protecting the floor
and keeping long-stored cars from flat-spotting the tires. Radials will un-flat-spot themselves with some driving, but it can take my cars an hour or so to feel “normal” if I haven’t driven them in a long time.

On Behalf Of Matt Boyd All, I'm about to move into a new (well, not brand new) house with a 20'x31' oversized 2 car garage. This is finally my first place where I'll have the place to store my toys and have room to work on them. Please discuss recommendations for
garage floor coatings. I'm leaning towards epoxy because while I could do tiles, the cars WILL leak (1985 Ferrari and 1939 Rolls-Royce are NOT oil tight, in fact the Bijur system on the Rolls is designed to "leak"). I imagine the tiles will leak through and "someday"
that entire mess will still be on the concrete beneath. I'll probably lean towards having a professional do the prep and application because I want to get this done right the first time. Thoughts? References? I do know how to Google, so I'm really just looking for your personal recommendations. Thanks -matt '85 308 |
