That looks good.

What other manufacturers did you consider in the planning process? I'm interested in doing my garage floor, but wonder how Racedeck 'sounds' when you drive / walk on it. Does it creak & pop when it's driven over?

What type of wallcovering is that on the bottom half of the walls ? Looks real nice.

About $3 sq ft shipped. I was tired of the epoxy paint that would come up under the tires. This should be very durable.

On the right side of the garage is a set of stairs. I was at the top of the landing.

No popping or creaking. I was worried about that too, but had heard there was none. It does sound like you are walking on PVC though. Not a bad sound, just different. I looked at ALL the other manufactures and this was the least expensive that fit my needs. I almost pulled the trigger on "Ucoat" paint, but decided to spend the cash on a floor that I wouldn't have to worry about lifting paint...EVER.

Actually it's painted concrete. Doesn't look as nice in person, but it looks much better than unfinished. The builder finished the rest of the garage and put in heat, but for some reason left that part unfinished. Go figure!

Looks great! How did you talk the little lady into it? I want to do that bad but she won't budge.

Looks terrific CLK. I'm also thinking about doing this. One question...does the floor seem to flex too much? I'm concerned about the plastic nature of the tiles...

also: Where did you find the best price?
