    My Porcelain Tile floor project

    I too got both color samples and went with the dark gray (looked better with my color scheme). No lipping issues. The mfg recommends not to do 50% offset but my tile guy assured me it would not be an issue in my case. The tiles are very consistent and flat. In this video, the guy used same...

    Yes that's the tile I have. I initially was going to go metallic epoxy route but as even the epoxy contractor told me, the metallic epoxies will show all the scratches..

    My tile specs: PEI: 5, water absorption rate: 0.001, thickness: 0.354" so very similar to the one you are considering. Crazy how thick and dense they are. Each tile weighs over a whopping 8 lbs! The grout used does not need to be sealed. It took my tile guy (27 yr pro) about 85-90 hours to...

    Around $9, it isn't cheap. I got quotes as high as $20. I also got lower quotes but from installers who didn't have quite the experience I was looking for.

    Ha. It is definitely not slippery when wet. The tile is not smooth, there is a bit of texture to it. When doing tile in places like garages where it can get wet, I think you have to look at the tile's "Coefficiient of Friction" rating. Mine has a wet rating of 0.81 and I think you want to be...

    Sadly, I've only put 70k on in 20 years which is not a lot. Also, having a two seater car and a child now doesn't help..

    Ha! Well, it's a '94 with 100k miles on it. I bought it in 2000 and I'm the second owner. I've had it so long I just did the timing belt last month for the 3rd time under my ownership. Looks mostly stock but it has BBS LM DBKs, ARC titanium exhaust, ARC intake box, ARC oil cap, titanium...

    Nope! Trust me, this is super dense stuff and has the highest PEI rating. Actually, when I got sample tiles to pick colors, I took screwdrivers and everything else I could find to scratch the tile and couldn't put a dent in it. This is thicker and way more dense than the tile you might find on...
