Has anyone had luck with the Costco black & white garage floor tiles? A buddy of mine is redoing his sister's garage for her inbound Audi R8.

I went with an industrial epoxy. As mentioned, the prep work is the key.
My garage floor was in bad shape. Here are some before and after pictures. The first photo is how the floor looked. The second photo is after the entire floor was ground with a floor grinder. The third and fourth photos are after epoxy. Total cost was $1400 installed by a local epoxy contractor. Still looks like the day it was done after two years. At my previous house I used the Rust-oleum stuff from Home Depot and it started flaking after the first winter. |

$1.87 sq. ft. right now good price! here is a review I found. I would guess these are Costco cheap, cheap. Not that impressive. "The picture led me to believe that there is a circular pattern on the top of these, there is actually a diamond pattern crosshatch. This is not a big problem except that the diamonds are cut in half on the edges leaving half white half black diamonds between each tile if you do a checkerboard pattern as displayed in the picture. The tiles are not solid and you can see a pattern of the 'skeletal' system of the tiles as a slight indentation on their surface. There is about a millimeter gap between all the tiles. Overall they appeared very cheap. I was looking for something more professional so I returned them." http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...rodid=11038308

Thanks! They are certainly quite a bit cheaper. The garage he's working on is a single-car garage with no room for floor jacks, rolling tool carts, etc. It'd be primarily for appearance, for which I think they'd suffice.
Appreciate the response and insight! Tib |

I have been wanting to do something in my garage but it's going to be expensive as I have a 5 car garage. If I go with racedeck, does water get trapped underneath? I like to wash my car in the garage so I am concerned about that. I wanted to do the epoxy when it was brand new but after the expensive of the house, decided not to. Now my sons truck leaked oil pretty bad in one bay. I may just do where I park the Camaro.

I was told that static electricity becomes an issue with modular tiles... has anyone run into that as an issue? That and creaking or plastic type sounds when you walk over them. Does anyone with racedeck or other modular floors experience this?
