I have tiles, made the pattern in red, black and silver, and the result is great! No sound at all you have to put the black fabric used for landscaping in the base. They do not stain, easy to clean and looks amazing, I was in the same dilema but with the hot of Florida did not want to get the risk of peeling with coating.
Thanks....

Went from this of 20 years as a machine shop, oil on the floors, metal chips crushed in. Took 40 hours worth of grinding and cleaning. Then another two days to epoxy the floors. Then left it one month prior to driving cars onto it.
To this using a floor grinder and then Legacy Industrial Flooring HD Epoxy.

What was the total cost of the tiles you bought for your garage? How many square feet was your garage total? (Average size 2 car garage?)
Thanks.

@Raider89 I am thinking of using some type of epoxy coating to my new shop floor as well as the garage. Total of about 1,200 SF. Some of the garage floor coating "kits" are kinda spendy, especially for this footage. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks
The professional level kits (the ones that actually last and look good) are going to set you back about $500-750 in materials alone for a 2-car garage job. EpoxyMaster.com, SpartanExpoxies.com, and GarageCoatings.com are all sources to check out. If you get a pro to do it, I recommend finding someone local that has been in business for years and with a good reputation offering a good warranty. Ask for references.

There is a ton of junk product out there. They will put epoxy in the name of things with literally just 98% paint. This is a "buy once, cry once" project.

When I did my garage I used a company called V-Seal, I've been very happy with it thus far (pardon the muddy floors, dogs love to come chehck on me )

We used local Prescott AZ based company-https://classicgarageinc.com. Girst time the finish was peeling in areas nowhere near our kickstands and surface was slippery when wet. Apparently they had some bad product and worse worker. We had to empty out garage for a week BUT its was totally refinished bare and product re-applied and it is great now. Light color is better than neighbors dark finish

I have Swiss trax tiles in my garage. Looks awesome, but if you actually do any renting on your garage, do not buy them. They do not stand up to floor jacks, and if you have to use jackstands, you always have to put something underneath them.
These are older photos, but the basic premise is the same. I would much rather have plain concrete to work on. Or maybe just do this on half of it to park the Porsche and have the other have to work on the jeeps still.
