1. I'm envious, because I don't have a garage;
2. Your garage looks great now; and
C. It's very cool that if you back in, you can launch 0-60 right out of your garage.

They are similar to Racedeck tiles - they snap together and float on top of the floor.
Funny, although my street is a nice down-hill run, my neighbors with kids wouldn't appreciate my zooming by on the way to 60!
Thanks for the compliment - nobody EVER said my garage was nice - before I got the Swisstrax tiles!

Andy..nice work.
I did my garage this summer using VCT tile and something about having a clean garage is blissfull. I am in the process of decorating it and ebay has been my primary source for posters. Enjoy the triage center...

Andy, it looks great!
I have been looking at this for my garage too but it seemed to be awfully expensive. Do you mind to tell us what it cost to do your garage?

I installed the Swisstrax tiles today, and took some before, during, after shots. I think they make my garage look semi respectable compared to horrible! So they make a little noise when you step on them - I can live with it! I got the "clearance" seconds, which cost $2.29 per square foot. Worked out to cost $700 with shipping. Better than paying $3k to have the garage floor re-done! At least for now!

Oops, I guess I got blinded by that beautiful garage.. sorry guys!!! I'll just go back to work instead...this should teach me to not play around on Rennlist during work hours.

Looking at the photos, it looks more like a bomb shelter than a garage! Must be some camera lens effect or something - it's not a long narrow tube!

Looks good.........but mind if I ask......always wondered what happpened with water off the car......and in winter the slush and snow melting.
Doesn't that water get under (and stay under) a floor like that?.....TIA
