Has anyone used flexible rubber tiles in there garage?
1- Do they stay clean?
2- Does water seep through them?
3- Will your floor get moldy?
4- Do tires stick to them in hot weather?
5- Will cleaning products bother them?
Looking for good and bad points to these tiles. I will be detailing cars in the garage. Thanks
First and foremost I think it is very important to understand that these are PVC NOT Rubber. We and many others do sell rubber products but they are not meant for vehicular use.
1- Do they stay clean?
Not by themselves
but if you take care of them as provided in the instructions you can keep them looking new for years. More comments below.
2- Does water seep through them?
Tuff seal are GUARANTEED to be water tight when properly installed. Many of us do not need a true watertight installation.
TrueLock PVC tiles are almost impenetrable
3- Will your floor get moldy?
You can find posts from me going back on this forum for what has to be about a decade --although my previous posts were at a different company. In that time I have never seen it happen. Not once.
4- Do tires stick to them in hot weather?
No, however, PVC can be stained by some times, sometimes. Typically not if you follow the instructions below, and if they do, its typically just replacing a single tile or so.
5- Will cleaning products bother them?
No, but the best way to clean them is to finish them with
Hilway Direct Plus ((or gloss if your so inclined) and then use their product for continued cleaning. With the plus line you simply dilute an ounce and use that for cleaning.
