Free-Flow product using black, graphite, alloy, and royal blue.

Install was straight forward and I'm happy with my investment.
I did all the cutting with a sliding compound miter saw with 60 tooth blade. A sharp utility knife for the minor cuts. I later did some testing and found a 12" laminate flooring shear to cut this material very straight and clean, and with little effort. This cutter will not help with inside corners like around 4-post lifts but for the garage perimeter it's the perfect tool for the job.

Some people asked about cleaning their RD floor. RD recommends using a multipurpose cleaner like "Greased Lightning" diluted with water. RD also sells a product called "Restore" that is intended to bring back the tiles original sheen.

Thanks for the compliments!
Steve_mc0... the car is not an atom. It's called a V-Storm WR3. Exoskeleton like the atom but it's a center driving position 3-seater powered by a Subaru 2.5L turbo. 1600lbs with 250+ hp...yeah it scoots!
Ok, back to the flooring..... if anyone has any questions or needs help sourcing their RaceDeck flooring feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to help you out.

I certainly do in my garage. The snow melt and salt is why I chose Free Flow. In SW Ohio we track in all of that winter ****, it melts, runs through the slots, hits the floor and the slope of the floor combined with the little nubs on the underside of the tiles allows the water to flow to my overhead door. Under the door and outside. In the spring, a quick hose job and a long handled brush and we are good as new. Love it and highly recommend it. CJDave.

Yes I park my daily drivers in the garage (Charger 392 and Explorer Sport).
As CJDave mentioned the snow and ice melt and all the mess falls through to the concrete leaving a dry top surface, no standing water ever! This is the main reason we went with the freeflow. Well ok, maybe not all of the mess falls through...there is the dirt/salt from the snow that builds up where the tires sit but the next time the floor gets wet in that area it rinses off. A hose down in spring is the only maintenance I can see coming.

Here's a simple RaceDeck layout I recently installed. 3-Car garage outfitted in 100% FreeFlow-Alloy. The Free-Flow design gives you a checkered look but it's all the same color. Home owner told me he is done with epoxy and wanted a clean, functional, and high end floor to match his new high end house....he couldn't have been happier with the results.
