Supratile flooring surface toughness

[DanEC]

Stiil pondering some sort of floor overlay for my garage floor and limited to something I can put down in a days time or so as I can't park old cars, tool boxes, shelving, everything out in the driveway for a couple of days to be picked over by roving curbside shoppers. I was recently looking at SupraTile which appeals to me due to it's relative thin section, as I often roll stuff in an out of the garage into the driveway and don't need more transitions to deal with. Curious as to experiences with it for jacks, jack stands, 4-post lift posts, heavy rolling toolboxes, etc.

I have pretty much everything in my garage on casters (heavy shelving, work benches, tool boxes, equipment). And I have one small car I park on steel caster wheel dollies in a corner of the garage that I especially worry about as it has to be tugged and rolled out to where it can be started and backed out. At 67 it's enough of a struggle to get all 16 casters pointed in a common direction so that I can get it rolling - if the caster wheels are sunk down in little depressions in the floor tile from storage, it's going to be a problem long term.

I tested a RaceDeck tile under a caster wheel for a couple of days and it did form a temporary depression in the tile - not much and it recovered - but enough to worry me about being able to get this car moved out. Thus I've done nothing further to date. Anyone have any experience with SupraTile under this type use? Surface hardness/density and thin section are my main issues.

Thanks

Hi,
We sell Supratile in commercial auto shops and fire houses with 80,000 lb vehicles on them all the time. See www.armor-tuff.com

We also offer a nice transition ramp edging to make rolling on and off the floors very easy.

I appreciate the response but still hoping to get some first-hand feedback on how it handles concentrated loads and particularly heavy, caster wheeled equipment.

Email us directly at below with address, GJ Member, your request, etc and we will send you a free full size sample tile so you can test it. This would be the best way to make sure you would be satisfied for your intended usage.

I know this is an old thread, just curious if you ever completed this test or installed the product.

I'm planning a floor re-do very soon and am quite interested in Supratile, but have the same concerns about small concentrated loads from casters and whether it will be hard to roll things around. Does anyone have first hand experience with that scenario?
