Garage floor paint suggestions

Go with the ruber tile if you want something that cleans easily. And it looks sweet! Check John Bradley's album.

+1 on John's garage...

If I was going to do it, I think I'd look at (somehow) making sure there was a proper moisture barrier in place on the concrete garage floor and then put some kind of tile down.

Don't quote me on this but if there isn't a good way to keep the moisture from "coming up", I think the tile will come loose and curl at the corners...a real unsightly mess.

Industrial adhesive FTW

tile looks great. Did you do it or have someone install it? Also do you know the brand?

I was talking to our painter that is doing the inside of your house and he just said that he thought the garage floor concrete has a sealer on and epoxy paint doesn't adhere to sealed concrete, can anyone add some more insight to that?

If your garage floor was poured correctly there should be no moisture coming thru... I had none to start with.. I did put down a fabric, (same fab you use in the bush beds to keep out weeds in the yard).. It keeps the floor from possibly making any clanking noises when you walk on it.. I dont think it really needed it, but thats what they recommended..

So, then, what are the tiles made from if a sort of clanking noise is possible. Hard rubber? Plastic? Something like neoprene? A "linoleum" type of compound?

[edit] - Oh snap...I see the link now. :doh:

Yeah, I think this alot better than paint..
If you paint you have to prep the floor, that sucks ..I did it in my plane hangar and cussed the whole time.
The tiles are 1/2" thick...they can be replaced if anything ever happens to them, 15 year warrranty !!
