Hey.

My father is building a garage and Im thinking to buy some nice floor for it and wonder what kind of floor you guys have used, what kind of material?

I've tried several epoxy floors but have never been satisfied with the results. I finally put down plastic garage tiles over the epoxy and love it! http://www.racedeck.com/

They sell them (or a version of) at Costco for a reasonable price.

I started with epoxy from Rustoleum, it was junk and lifted immediately. After a few years it got so bad I couldn't stand it and stripped it all down and went with the epoxy from Griot's Garage and couldn't be happier after a year. Mine is post #16.

How would these tiles fair against humid conditions when there is dampness rising from the concrete?

I'm also considering a new garage floor along with driveway paving next year.

Thanks for any insight...

Any $$ I could put into a garage floor would be taken out of my mod fund, and that is a no-no!

Yeah... Concrete seems to work pretty well for me!

Just got this notice in my email from Costco.

That looks slippy to me?

I love my Swiss Trax tiles - although from scratch, there must be new high-tech garage floors now, no?

Google up some PolyAspartic floor coatings - expensive stuff, but it hardens enough so you can drive on it in 1 day apparently. 2 part Epoxy can be good I hear too.

If you have a real winter in your area, the tiles probably are going to be bad for your concrete floor, and a hassle to clean.

If you go Epoxy or PolyAspartic, you have to start with a clean floor - diamond sanded down and primed properly.

I used the Behr 1 part Epoxy - I have to reapply every 2 years. It costs me under $100.00 to do it. It looks nice when it's fresh, but it always comes off in 2 years. But that's cheaper than the $3600.00 quote to get a PolyAspartic coating applied.

If money is no object - go with PolyAspartic though.
