I am thinking about either doing epoxy on my garage floor or interlocking garage tiles. I would love to see what some of you guys have in your garage as inspiration on what I can do with mine.
One you clean/prep the floor, let dry, you simply use a standard 9” paint roller. Paint a 10ft x 10ft square, sprinkle the chips and repeat till finished. https://www.rustoleum.com/garage
New house. New floor. I love it. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login View attachment 2969286 Image Unavailable, Please Login
This is mine. I had the choice of resin or tiles and went for tiles as I liked the checkerboard effect...
The Detailing & Showroom section has two garage threads: " Garage Pics!!" (475 pages) and "Garage floor questions". After careful consideration,this is my choice: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I am serious about those two garage threads. Anyone planning a garage should go through them for ideas.
I was going to do the garage tiles, but heard about the dust that collects underneath. I ended up doing the DIY epoxy floors. I love the results. However, the results are all in the prep. I spent 2 days sanding and cleaning the floors, then etching them with acid. I did two coats over several days with proper cure in between. Also I waited several days before parking the cars on the floor. It’s really easy to put down, just spend the time on the prep otherwise epoxy could lift or chip over time.
I did the interlocking tiles, wish I hadn't. They expand/contract so never look quite flat when used on a large area. They stain and mark fairly easily. I had ceramic tiles in my last garage and once the rest of the house is finished I'll redo the garage with hard tiles again.
I have one garage with a painted and always peeling floor, one with stain that works well, and another with bare ol concrete. Stain is best from my experience. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
marbel effect ceramic 600sq tiles. I have a separate part of the garage with astro turf on the floor for working on cars. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very cool. Reminds me of the old B&W photos my mom showed me of the car she learned to drive in. Think she said it was a '57 Bel Air. Thanks for sharing...T
I can’t help you with that, I was really close to doing my garage with race deck interlocking tiles, but there seems to be a lot of problems with them at the point where you enter the garage and all brands seem to leak under the tiles. So even though I could have gotten the tiles free, it just seems like a lot of hassle.
I actually ended up doing an epoxy on ours that turned out nice. My wife surprised me and did it for my birthday. Super easy to clean up and keep looking good.
