Not personally but my friend owns a garage and he had them on his entire garage floor and hated them. Clean up was not easy and when he hosed it down alot of water were trapped underneath. Again, I have not used them personally. Good Luck.

I have them in my personal residence garage, I like them alot. Now I don't do major work in that garage, they are for esthetics only, they covered a horrible paint job. Costco tiles are actually made by racedeck. www.racedeck.com, same stuff. Costco's price was an assload cheaper, but you can only get certain colors...

To each his own I like them.

I will take some...I just did the grey with the only pattern they had with is diamond plate, but take the name you find on the costco site, then go to the website and it rolls through to racedeck.com

4 boxes per bay? That's 1200 for a 3 car. Plenty of choices in that range I'd guess.

My tab was like 1800, with tax and shipping inclusive, I have a 500 sq ft garage, and I have about 3 full boxes left, you can take them back to any Costco warehouse, I just haven't done and the little cut in's so I am keeping them on hand till I can do that.

I've had them a few months now. Overall I like them, but you do notice the dirt on them very easily. When it comes time to clean them, I'll just pull out section onto the driveway and pressure wash them.

I cleaned and painted my concrete floor before putting them down, so any water or liquids that spill between the tiles are easy to clean up.

Rennlister "InTheAir" used a similar product but in sheet form. It may be a better solution as there would be fewer seams to allow moisture in. Here's the link:

I just so happened to have just done this to my garage with another product I found which is similar. I did my 800 square foot (3 car) for about $1850 with shipping and everything. And the company was very good to deal with.

I could take some pics if you would like to see them.

Sorry these took a couple days. I used their Black and dark gray for the checker pattern (4 in each "check" for the pattern) and used their red as a border around the perimeter of the garage.

Enjoy.

Tony,

As someone stated above about theirs (different brand) they show the dirt quite a bit, but actually are very easy to clean. I got one of those swiffer mops and it takes about 5 minutes each weekend to keep it looking good. They were really easy to install and the wear so far (only had them about 2 months) seems really good. I put them down because I had the garage floor epoxy coated 3 times over the past 6 years and it never lasted and chipped up. I figured this would be the last time (crossing fingers). While I was at it I painted the garage gray and put in all new cabinets and used diamond plate as a kick plate on the garage entry doors. Overall I'm happy with the results, but, all that was a bunch of work. The floor turned out to be the easiest part.
