Edging?

What's it made of?
Where'd you buy it?

We need pics of the install!!

Looks like Home Depot to me!!

There was a discussion about similar tiles on the forum awhile back - couldn't find the post sorry. I think the general consensus about tiles that are raised off the floor slightly is that all the dirt, crud etc would collect under the tiles and it would be very difficult to clean...something to think about....

ya it's the one on the b-turnpike I thought of that and figured that eithe a vac or hosing out would clean it out

there is edgeing for it but they didn't have any and they should be getting a bunch of tiles in when i need to get it done I might have to pay for it first then i'll have to store it somewhere before I can put it down because it's a remodel while the wife is a way..

I can't wait I'm very excited to have a work garage even if it's just one side..

Are there any comments on the packaging about durability/compatability with automotive fluids, gas or oil?

I would be concerned about how the plastic would hold up. Some plastics are good for oil some are not. It does look like a pretty good option though.

it does say you can use it in gargaes so i'm sure it would be safe

Cool. I am definately interested in seeing pictures of the install.

I've been thinking about those, but don't know how they'd stand up to a set of ramps. Plus, they look like they'd be slippery in the winter.

I just got my 03 corvette and i've been shopping around for about a month for floor tiles. i saw this post and went to a local home depot at lunch. i needed 190' worth (10 per pack x 20 packs). they had exactly 20 left, i took them all. cost me $196 & change. they seem a little flimsy, they are rubber and seem like they are rather slip resistant. we're expecting about a foot of snow this weekend here on long island so i probably wont be able to install until next weekend. just thought everyone would like to know. edging not in stock (of course).

Are those not going to be difficult to keep your floor clean, considering all of those holes if you plan on doing your entire garage?

The impression I had was that they were designed to give a cushion for your feet around a work bench etc or outdoor where drainage is needed. Perhaps I missed how you intend to use them.

I'm also tossing around the idea of tiling my floor and I'm leaning towards the VCT one from Armstrong but I'm waiting to hear back from forum members over the next few month on well they hold up.

Otherwise, I'd go racedeck or concrete staining.

my house is a new construction, clean concrete flooring. i dont really see the dirt going through to the floor being an issue.

i was going to use the regular flooring tiles but i didnt want to have to strip and refinish once or twice a year - i'm lazy that way. i bought all that home depot had so at least i have them, i'll continue to shop around and explore other options. if and when i do the tiles i'll snap a pix and sent it in.
