Garage tile
Where's the best place to get a garage tiling system. I was thinking about doing epoxy but the garage tile seems to be better and looks great. Sears sells them but I was wondering if any of you knew of another source or company that sells this type of product. TIA

$55 for a 20 pack. I don't think this includes the edge and corner pieces, but I could be wrong.
Comes in different colors.

Those things are mucho dinero. To do our garage would cost about $1400 (don't have the numbers in front of me... but I figured it out).
What I'm probably going to do is order some of those large mats... but those on the sides, then just tile the middle part of the garage. That pretty much cuts the cost in half.
I wanted to do the epoxy, but my neighbor who ownes a painting business told me not to bother. He said when you turn the wheels on the car it will pull up the paint, and once that stuff chips, you can never properly fix it... which is why I'm going to do a combo of tiles and mats....

It's all in the prep JB. I did mine over a years ago and it takes a beating and still looks great. To get it to bond properly, you either need to acid etch the floor with muriatic acid (which I did) or have the floor sanded.

This is the best stuff I've found.
-10 yr warranty
-ventilated design so they don't get mold on the bottom.
The dark grey/grey is my favorite combo.

I looked at tile but considering I use my garage as my woodworking shop, the tiles just seemed like a huge hassle. I guess if the garage stays fairly clean they would work pretty good.
BUT for the price of some of those tile systems, you could have a professional come and put down an epoxy floor. Or better yet, polished concrete.

Oh, and I asked my neighbor how much to get a professional epoxy job.... estimate was $6k-$7k
.... so I'll either be painting it myself or going the mat/tile route for sure

I considered that when I did mine but the guy couldn't do it when I needed it. I can't remember how much but it was pretty reasonable to have them prep sand the floors for me.

just look at the interest here in garage renovations, there's a huge emphasis put on it.
if youre home, overall, appeals to buyers in this demographic i'd say a garage renovation could be a great way to gain resale value. maybe more then anything you could do in living/family/bed rooms.

When we sold our townhouse, one of the items we got the most comments on was the garage. We had built a simple shelf of 2x4's, 2x6's, and plywood, just to give us extra storage. Of all the nice shit in the house, the garage got the most comments b/c everyone loved the shelving.
So a nice garage can go a long way.... and it doesn't really cost a lot of money to make it nice, nice. The tiles are excessive, but I like excess, which is the only reason I'm considering it. In the end, we probably will do something much more cost effective.
