Found this at a store nearby for a great deal. What do you guys think of using it in a garage? http://www.casadolcecasa.com/en/prod-128-1569-gera_marrone.asp http://www.casadolcecasa.com/en/prod-128-1569-37-gera_marrone_technical_specs.asp Seems to me like it's a very high-end tile which is...

I'm worried more about epoxy being hard to work with than regular grout getting stained...especially if I get dark stuff with some additives. As for 18", I'd say stay with 12". I've heard things get harder a lot quicker. Harder to get the 100% coverage we need, harder to deal with any slope...

I think you would just want to be sure you use a good product to seal the grout.

That TEC XT sounds good. Seems like it's getting good reviews elsewhere too. Still not sure on grout. And then, a pattern. I should just lay them straight or in the offset brick style, but I never seem to do things the easy way... I really like this pattern that I saw from a member here...

Wow, that's a great deal! for some reason it won't show up when I browse the site, but I'm going to bookmark that link!

Oh cool, will do!

Wow! Also, FleaDog, check into getting some 10% off Lowe's coupons. Not sure if they work on clearance stuff, but another 10% off that tile and all the supplies would be AMAZING! I picked up some coupons on eBay for super cheap.

Thanks for the feedback, Drev! Definitely going to look into that TEC XT stuff - sounds perfect. I'm also hoping to find a cheaper alternative to the Reno Ramp...probably whatever is in stock, like you did.

So, I've all but decided to do porcelain (PEI V) tile in my garage. I figure, if nothing else, it will be good practice for when I do our kitchen and bathroom(s). First off, someone please stop me if this is a bad idea or if I should be looking at a different solution! My garage is 20x20...

I was considering the Epoxy-Coat from Lowes, would I need to get the poly top coat directly from you to go with that?

What coatings would stand up best to dragging a floor jack around and using jackstands?

Right now I have wooden steps, but plan to pour a set of concrete ones soon. I'm also planning on coating the floor with Epoxy-Coat. Is it possible to coat the steps in Epoxy-Coat? Should I just paint them instead? Obviously whatever I do, I need to wait until they have fully cured...
