Get some samples before you buy it, it's a few bucks. I was looking at it a
long
while ago and when I got the samples I decided that it was not a good
way to go
for me. I don't think they are super durable if you have a working
garage, and
they sound hollow when you walk on them. I think they are ok if
you have a
'waxer' type of garage but if you do lots of work I would skip
them IMO. The
product that I did find really well made was from a company
called LokTile I
think. It was solid plastic and came in bigger sized
squares. Was a bit more $$
as well, but would have been worth it had I put
down flooring. I ended up just
keeping the cement floor. Once thing I always
wondered about was hardwood
flooring, seen pricing for it at some of the
liquidator places for solid
hardwood similar or less priced then the racedeck
stuff, not sure how it would
hold up but for now it's cement.

Garage/shop flooring (not Tiger related)
Hey, guys:
Sorry to bomb the list
with this question but you guys were the only ones I
could think of to ask.
Does anyone out there in Tigerland have the snap-together flooring (a.k.a.
"RaceDeck" or the like) in their garage/shop? I'm considering installing it
in
my new shop but I've got some concerns. I know that it supposedly holds
up well
with cars parked on it, but I wonder how well it does when you're
doing actual
work to a car on it. Has anyone had experience with this? Do
jackstands tend
to pierce the flooring? How about jacks? Can it be cleaned
up easily or does
it lose it's luster? I know no one around the Oklahoma
City area who has it so
I'm flying kind of blind here. Can anyone shed some
light on this for me?
By the way, I painted the floor in my last shop with
epoxy gray and it held up
rather well. I could do that again, although the
prep for that would be a
killer on the new shop.
Thanks so much,
Andy Walker
