Let me know what you choose. I am looking at something I can do myself to cut costs on a 1100sq foot 4 car garage. Race Deck looks interesting! Have any idea on the cost of their stuff?

Anyone try MOTO FLOOR, looks to be a RaceDeck copy, but selling at costco for 1.88 sq foot??

I priced racedeck out and it is as follows:

under 500 sq ft = $3.49 sq/ft
Over 500 sq ft = $2.99 sq/ft

While I considered racedeck, I ruled it out because I couldn't get over putting plastic tiles down on my floor at $3.00 sq/ft. Certainly no less expensive than doing epoxy floors and I don't believe they will be as easy to maintain over time.

Since I am living on top of the Hayward fault and Calaveras fault I wondering the epoxy would be a good choice due to the constant earth movement.

Looks very nice! What color is this and did they apply 1 or 2 clear coats? Thanks.

The color is called Sedona.. They recommend only coat of the top coat, a second coat was an option but Premier claims that when the floor gets wet it becomes very slippery with more then one coat. After a year or so depending on wear they can come back and add another coat to keep the floor looking new...

Premier Garage rocks. I am well into my second winter with the floor and have been extremely satisfied with all of the premier products!

Floors, garage and p-car looks great! Is that desert or sedona finish?

I did decided to go with Premier and just had my floors done yesterday. I also had them build a special closet to enclose my water heater and central vac. They did a great job! I will post pictures soon.

I went with Bigfoot tiles and nearly a year later, they are in great shape other than the usual road grime that manages to attach itself to tires and subsequently the floor.

See my write-up here from last March:

rzundel- we went with desert as the sedona looked too pink with the cabinets and wall paint we had already selected. The sedona has a tendancy to read pink unless you are very careful with the paint color you choose. Plus the desert hides so much more in terms of dirt, sand and debris.

Were your cabinets also inslalled by Premier? They look like the natural finish? Also, it looks like you went with 1/4 inch flakes? Did you look at the 1/8 inch flake? Interested in your response because our friend next door is also using premier and trying to finalize on the color and finish choices. Your comment about Sedona reading pink is interesting.

Yes, Premier did the cabinets, the stainless steel counter tops, and the wall storage system. I went with the 1/4 flecks as the 1/8 apparently does not look as good in large garages. Also, the 1/8 flecks made the floor feel like sand paper which I thought may be more difficult to sweep. If you feel the smaples in the 1/4 and the 1/8 you should be able feel what I am talking about.
