Absolutely. After eight months there are some brown spots left by the car’s tires. There are also some light scratches and mares. But, it’s a garage and I don’t expect it to be perfect. The overall look is great.

This past weekend I rented a high speed floor polisher and went over it. Besides that, the only maintenance I have done has been an occasional mopping.

I love that look. Did you do the install? Does it get slippery when wet?

travanx

yes 2nd on the did you do that yourself? also how much does that typically cost to do?

I installed it my self in December; 960 square feet. Total price was just under $1000. I am sure it would be slippery if it got wet... I don't wash the cars in the garage anymore. Here is the link I posted when I completed it;

Chuck: Really nice look. And, nice job.

That's awesome you can fit the Boxster & Mini in one garage bay like that.

I've always been curious. If you do any amount of grinding, or using a cutoff wheel, welding, or other processes that use heat or create sparks, how long do these floors hold up? I would think that I would have little craters all over the place in no time.

Great look! Did you check into paint? I need to finish the garage floor and would love to hear your opinion.

R2R - I had an epoxy floor and it started to lift after about 4 years.

Smiles - I grind and cut metal w/o any problems, but I take the welding outside. It would definitely damage the floor.

Here's a pic of my floor. it's now almost 4 years old and still looks great. I wax it about once a year and that makes it look good as new. You do have to be careful, but I've done some pretty heavy work including R&R of the engine /tranny. I use carpet pieces under the jack stands and floor jack to protect the floor.

FWIW, I have the plastic tiles in my other garage, and they are more durable but not as nice looking.

I's really nice in the photo. And it doesn't sound like too much work keeping it up to showroom quality. Can up direct me to a tile source? Thanks.

Home Depot. Black & white were stock, they ordered the red for me for the same (or close) to the regular price. IIRC, the tiles were about 70 cents each.

Same here, but they had to order the black tile for me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to do my garage this fall, after the temps get out of the upper 90's - low 100's!

The below link will take you to the Garage Journel forum. There is a lot of great info there on all garage flooring.

I am using ceramic tiles at mine... they last forever as long as do not drop your pliers on the floor
