Questions & Answers
Yes, narrow edge pieces with rounded tapered edges, such as ramps, are available. They are 2"x12" in size, I believe. They snap together just like other floor tiles and come with either a male or female edge, depending on how the floor is laid out. They perform admirably. The only disadvantage of the flooring is that it dents when jack stands are used. Aside from that, it's tough, easy to clean, and it looks great.
It doesn't get tripped up when you roll things over it.
Dropping a heavy tool or hammer from a reasonable height may cause a dent in this rigid polypropylene plastic tile. It is unlikely to break, but it may dent.

After watching a few videos of the Epoxy floor treatment and seeing how inconsistent the results were, I decided to go with these tiles, and I'm glad I did. Installation was a breeze, even with the need to cut some pieces due to my unique dimensions. I was looking for protection and ease of cleanup from general spills, such as those caused by lawn equipment and other items we may spill from time to time; the strength of this material will be more than adequate. Compare the cost of this to an epoxy floor, and you'll see that they're very similar. Now go ahead and start laying down that epoxy on top of these tiles. Both of these things have been accomplished by me. Without a doubt, floor tiles are the way to go. I just wanted to share a real-life review because I'm always looking for them when I'm shopping.
It will be well worth your time and effort. The other reviews will go over how good these are in comparison to epoxy. While doing the installation, I'd like to add a few learnings: br>br>1) The tiles are simple to lay out and put in place. You don't realize how much time and effort goes into moving things around, throwing things out, repainting, and other 'while-you're-at-it' tasks until you get started. may- well- The 'X' factor is extremely important. br>br>2) Another significant benefit of these tiles is their ease of installation. There's no need to convert the garage into a storage pod in its entirety. Place everything to one side and get started. Then, as you progress through the project, switch to the other side; this will not work for hoarders. However, for the average garage pile, it's a big plus. br>br>I've already had four friends ask me to do their garage next. It's like the difference between night and day.
I finished my garage floor in about three hours the afternoon the tiles arrived, and then another three or four hours the following day. Every tile has 16 locking points that connect it to the tiles in its immediate vicinity. It's not difficult to put them together. To get them to snap in place, you can either use a rubber mallet or simply step on them with your foot. If you're 70 years old like me, expect to be kicked in the buttocks with all the bending over, but it'll be worth it. Swinging the mallet or stomping your foot isn't a big deal, but if you're installing something, it's a different story. You must hit each tile six or eight times to complete the game. It all comes together in the end. I've been a satisfied customer for quite some time.
I was considering doing a gray epoxy floor to cover up the old, ugly painted red floor, but there were chips and stains on the floor, and epoxy would have cost a lot more and created a lot more mess for professionals to prepare the floor and apply the epoxy. I'm glad I came across them. I didn't have to clean out the garage, which was a huge plus. I simply moved everything to one side and began working there, then moved everything to the new floor and finished the job. In two days, I completed the garage, which included extensive cutting and fitting. Definitely a 5-star rating. br>br>In addition, some suggestions - A jigsaw can be used to cut the tiles, but the right blade must be used. I went through three blades before finding one that gave me a clean cut. The small-scale The worst were toothed metal cutting blades, which left little plastic boogers stuck to the tile's edge, which had to be trimmed off with fingers and a utility knife; the best was a Bosch "clean" wood blade, which had a relatively high tooth pitch and cut perfectly cleanly.
These tiles are simple to set up and durable enough to withstand being rolled across. They'll undoubtedly elevate your garage to new heights. Because of oil stains and cracks, I chose to install these tiles rather than paint or use epoxy. I chose this route because I knew that anything painted on would eventually peel off.
It took four boxes of 48 to finish my 9. One-car garage measuring 5' x 19'. To create the design I wanted, I bought two boxes of graphite and two boxes of black. The tiles are already pre-cut. You may need to disassemble some of them, depending on your application; I found that using a pair of slip joint pliers made disassembling them fairly simple. Take a look at my photo. If the instructions aren't in the box, they're printed on the inside of the top of the box. In one of my photos, I have everything I need for the job. It's not difficult to lay them out. They can be easily snapped together with a slap of the hand or by stepping on them. A rubber mallet came in handy for tight spots and a few stubborn ones that required a good whack. It's simple to cut them. A fine-bladed jigsaw was used. After that, I used an emery cloth to clean up the cut edge. I installed the transition kit, which is available separately and is listed under "Frequently purchased together. " I thought it would be more secure if the joints on the transition pieces were staggered from the tiles' joints. When I was finished, I took a deep breath and backed my very heavy classic car into the garage. There was no movement or cracking! I'm hoping they'll last a long time and serve me well.
It was very simple to put together and it looks fantastic. I own a Toyota Tacoma and a Nissan Armada, both large vehicles with no cracks. In a few months, I'll see how long it holds up.
