Nice tiles.....



but what worries me is that grime, dust, sand, dirt, etc, will fall into those holes and over time accumulate on the floor below with no way of removing......

Hey Doug,



I`ve got a boat customer who uses those tiles on the exposed flooring of his fishing boat. They work real well for his purpose, however since I detail his boat three times a season, they are a real problem to keep clean. I scrub the top surface of the tiles first, then remove large sections of the tiles and thoroughly scrub the bottom surfaces too. Then I have to thoroughly clean away the dirt that gets trapped on the surface of the fiberglass flooring below the tiles. The tiles look great when they`re clean, but the problem is they don`t stay that way very long.

I still fear the drainage issue. I feel any floor coating or covering is going to cause water to puddle and stand. Concrete will absorb it, what are the benefits of covering the floor?

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
