Garage Floor?

So I'm just about finished with my garage looking for ideas on what the best flooring might be. Any suggestions?

Holy crap man! I envy your garage. I've got a 2-car garage that's currently capable of housing 0 cars, whereas you have a lift!

Although I don't particularly have any experience with garage floors, a lot of people have just done the epoxyshield floor painting, and then there are the higher end choices of going with RaceDeck Tiles or Vault Flooring

Any chance you have bigger pictures? I wish i had a lift in my garage. I have a "2 car" garage that can barely fit one.

Many, but attachments have a size limit.

The inter-locking tiles would really look nice. But I don't know about their fit for the wash-bay side of the garage. There must be a way to lay them and still have the floor drain accessable. -Gary

You could go epoxy coating like U-Coat It or how about an acidic staining like Dean did on his new garage a while back. Do a search and you'll see his photos, it looks amazing. Congrats on the lift, what model did you buy?

Cool setup

I have an epoxy-and-stone floor covering. It accommodates my floor drains and a little sand in the top layer of epoxy provides traction when wet. I'll have to redo the sand/epoxy some day, but after five years I'm still happy with it. Getting it (properly) installed was a huge hassle, but now I'm glad I suffered through it. Feels good under foot and looks good (at least where the older cars' leaks haven't stained it )

what lift is that?

We're having a house built, and i sooo want to put one of those lifts in, if there's room, since we've got 3 cars, and 1 is/will be a garage queen (sits outside with a california car cover on now 100% of the time we're not driving in it)

I have a friend with a garage customizing/finishing business, so he can get me those tiles for cheap!

If you are looking at POR-15 floor armor, be sure you read the ENTIRE post over at garagejournal.com. Their quality control and customer service, as well as the product, have some serious issue. The guys over at GJ are talking class action suit...

Re: Garage Floor?

I went with Race Deck a few years ago and still looks great and love it. I was also in Costco the other day and they have there floor way on sale right now, it is called Motofloor.
