Flooring decision

I am at the point in my garage remodel to pick a flooring option.



My floor is just over 20' x 24'.



Race deck is my first option. Best quote is about $1560 delivered.

Probably the most durable and best looking option. Also most $$$.



Cheapest option (I have ruled out epoxy/paint) are 2 BLT roll out mats from Sam's Club. About $400 and change delivered. I am concerned about the durability of these (jack stands, cabinets, etc.). I will also have to add a 2' runner in front of it to cover the entire floor.



A third option is this:

Not sure about the durability of these. I wonder if they are water tight or would allow water to migrate under.

The price on these are about $600 w/out delivery.



Any advice?
 
Some guys around here have put Armstrong vinyl flooring tiles in their garage. I think most everybody that has done it saved anywhere from $50 to a couple hundred bucks over the Race-Deck type tiles. You can purchase the peel and stick type and have it done in a day. I've heard that the peel and stick is actually better due to even application and a few other factors. If you do this, you'll have to rent a floor buffer and apply a sealant/wax to it shortly after you install the tiles. Personally, I'd like to do this myself. Here's a link to the thread. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision!
 
Tks for the link. I have read a few posts on these alternatives.



I may move someday, so I am wanting a portable system instead of something permanent.



Anyone use the MULTI-LOCK TILES? Not a bad price. Shipping might kill me though. Looks like the rubber tiles listed on Griot's site for $4.50.
 
well Although i can't find in on the web Home depot has a product call Multy-tile I spelled it right and everything. right now it's 8.99 for 10 1ft sq tiles they have a slat design which would allow for good drainage and desent cleaning becaise i think i would beable to run a shop vac over it and get the sand up..or push the sand out with water. I figres out my 20x23 needs 460 sq ft of tiles



race deck 4.00 a sq ft $1840

The tiles above 2.40 sq ft 1104

Multy tile .89 $410





even if they broke down under the wieght of the cars I could replace them with the race deck tiles or something else that could hold more weight

I have found Multi Lock Versa Tile in Gray for $2.78 to $3.29 (either square foot or by tile..tile is 19 5/8" x 19 5/8" x 5/16")

The charts are a little confusing. If priced by tile, the price is fair...if priced by foot, I will go with Race Deck.



I have been quoted $3.38 for Standard RaceDeck® âہ“Diamond" delivered. Not a bad price.



Not sure which Home Depot tile you are referring to.



BLT mats at Sam's are by far the cheapest.
 
well you need to go to the flooring department and ask for it not everyone has it and I had to ask to find it the spelling is right and the prices is also as you can see the size of your garage is a little bigger then mine.
 
Have you considered acid-staining the existing concrete? It's highly durable and used in many commercial applications. I noticed this stuff all over "Sea World" when I was vacationing in Orlando and I was sold.



Here's a pic of my new garage floor:

How about the MotorMat tiles? I think that they are $2.50 a foot.

I have seen them listed on a few sites. If they were considerably cheaper than the $3.38 tile /delivered price for the race decks, I would consider.



Also, Congrats on your new '93! It looks great.:xyxthumbs
