I'm remodeling my garage in anticipation of my 911 coming in. I have an appointment tomorrow with Granite Garage Floors to undo the crappy DIY expoxy the previous owner used. Comes with a lifetime warranty and the floors I've seen done look terrific.

Looking at this finish called "Granite Porsche Red"

That's a handsome finish that grey/white/black/red, but its going to be nearly impossible to find small parts on the floor if you work on your vehicles in the garage. That's nearly perfect camouflage!

These garage's look fantastic. Proceeding with a Racedeck design. Thanks for the pix, all!

I have the epoxy (urethane top coat) with large chips (black, white, gray) -- granite looks. Goes up about 6 inches on the walls -- professionally installed. It looks good, very durable, easy to clean -- nothing sticks to it. It's smooth, other than the chips that give it some grip to prevent slipping. Frequently clean it with a lithium battery power blower, and also power wash it on occasion. One house with about 1000 sq ft garage it was about $3,500; other house with 700 sq ft it was about $2,500. Great solution. Had the work done prior to moving in, and waited 7 days for it to cure. Perfect job in both houses. Perhaps not as flashing as some of those tiles, but easy to live with, and it does look good.

Well. It's the lower surface of a room upon which one may walk. But that's not important right now.

While I also have the same question as the post before this, this response made me chuckle. Thank you! I loved the movie Airplane...

I love the look of that Granite Garage Floor sample. I just sent an inquiry to the company about whether they have any leads on someone to install this product in New York state...

I also had that Granite Garage Floor type floor. I really liked it except when it was wet. REALLY slippery and my kids wiped out on it all the time. I'm building 2 garages right now and debating what I will use.

It's pretty common practice to use a anti-slip additive to coating based garage floors... Yours evidently didn't have any, and yes, they can be EXTREMELY slippery when wet if not added.

That floor looks fantastic... Is that really epoxy? Looks more like densified/polished/stained concrete.

I think I will try the anti slip coating next time for sure.
