Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Garage Floor Solutions

[Mark (misc]

FYI - I did a floor epoxy coating in a fish tank saltwater equipment room, and it only lasted about a year before it started flaking up

I would probably go with tiles, then you can replace them as necessary.  however if you're planning to work on the cars, as I know you do, perhaps just a good old cement floor is the best for finding draft nuts and rolling around on a mechanic's seat

Matt,

 

If you do a floor coating, I would highly recommend buying ribbed rubber mats for under your cars, or at least your

daily driver.

 

The mats will collect/hold all of the water, leafs, dirt, etc.. that falls off when parked.  It will save you from puddles of dirty standing water

on your new finished floor.

 

You can drag the mats outside to clean and hose them off a couple of times a year.

 

Here's a shot of one of my mats with my old 512 Boxer.

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Gary

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
