Any regrets with black race deck floors

[wsmithduramax]

Hello everyone, been browsing the site for a while now but this is my first post.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some racedeck and I'm going to go with the free flow tiles (due to winters here in Colorado). I've done lots of searching and looked at hundreds of pictures and I think I'll be going with mostly black on my floor.

My question is for the guys who have done their floor in the free flow and with the majority of the floor in black? I'm curious if you have any regrets going with the "all black tiles"? Any cons? And obviously black shows all the dirt in the world but curious how much it really shows with the free flow design?

Sorry for being long winded, and thanks for the replies in advance

All black will definitely look good, but i know from experience it can look dirtier when the mess has dried. I'm not sure if they use salt where you are but that's a major contributor where i am. I would consider RaceDeck's Graphite colour.

I would probably second this. I have black freeflow and the snow/salt dries to a nice gray color so the graphite would probably hide this better. Of course in the summer it looks great!!

My partially black Race Deck after my wife pulled her salt-encrusted Audi out of the garage, this is about as dirty as my floor gets...I like the black, would do it again.

It's a small world I was just in my garage cleaning the floors and I was wondering what others use to clean their black race deck floors.
I love my black and silver race decks, they are very sturdy, look great and do the job well. The only thing is that the black tiles do tend to get dirty very easily. Good luck on your project !

Thanks to all that replied! I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the free flow tiles hopefully by the end of the week, (been talking with Jennifer the last couple days at racedeck, great service!) I know that black shows everything but it looks awesome when it's clean. Guess keeping up on the cleaning will just give me an excuse to hang out in the garage more I'll post some pics of the before and after, might be a few weeks, the cold and snow can't go away fast enough

Black definitely shows the most dirt in garage I recommend against it if you use it regularly. If it's a show garage it certainly looks sharp.

For a show garage it is great. But if I had to have a daily driver in and out a lot I would go with graphite. It also ***** up the light. With all that being said I love my black floor and would do it again...

Yea I kind of figured it will show all the dirt. Half my garage is just for parking my pickup that never gets driven and then the other half is used for the wifes ride. I just think the black will look real nice. Guess if I don't like it all black I can alway change it up with different tiles

Very cool garage!!! And thanks for the info.

I got my sample of the free flow tiles from RD and I think I'm going to do the black and graphite with a couple parking pads too. Hopefully I'll order next week if not sooner!!
