Wow! That is a crazy transformation of your garage! I bow down to you!! [emoji16]

Just finished my Racedeck install using both solid and freeflow tile. Hardest part was choosing the design!

Update after much back and forth on how to handle my messed up floor. Resurfacing helped but I knew there were still going to be some issues with drainage out the overhead door, so I didn’t feel overly confident that vct would be the best fit, so I went with Racedeck tile (mixture of solid and...

That’s reassuring. If you were to lay vct again, would you still go with Armstrong S-750 as your adhesive?

Things got put on hold with the flooring. Have to continue my resurfacing efforts to grade the slope towards the garage door before I make a decision. Based on the amount of resurfacing product I have already applied, I’m a bit hesitant with installing vct for fear it won’t adhere well and may...

Yep. Based on browsing through tons of threads on here, I thought I was doing the proper amount of prepwork. I pressure washed, degreased, muriatic acid, then grinded. May have been overkill but I was trying to do as much as I could to prevent issues later (obviously didn’t work out as I hoped)...

I’m in the same boat as you. NW Indiana right on the border. My house is 40 years old. Been working on repairing the floor(cracks/spalling/low spots) for the last month. Used quikrete polymer modified resurfacer. Had to pressure wash and chisel it out today because the last coat didn’t take...

Gotcha. I saw these colors for vct and think they would compliment the brick on my house. That’s assuming I go the vct route. Corey

This is after resurfacing. Corey

Good info Mike. I finished resurfacing the low spots. Still have some slight craters from the way I troweled or attempted to smooth the mix. I figure I could go over spots with my angle grinder w/diamond cup. I’ve sanded with 40grit and just got done cleaning the inches of dust off of...

Thanks for your reply Jason. I actually read your whole thread a few weeks ago prior to your 12 year update. The one question I wasn’t finding an answer to was regarding car washing and my concern about the tile adhesive potentially weakening if constantly exposed to water. I appreciate that you...

I’ve been resurfacing the floor in layers while attempting to maintain a proper slope. Much more difficult than it seems! Doing one side at a time. Should be just about done though(about as good as it’s gonna get). Then I will sand and re-clean to prep for whichever flooring I end up with...

Thanks for your reply Mike. I read your post awhile back about your shop. I think it looks awesome. What did you do for the edges? Just cut the tile or did you purchase separate edging tiles from Armorpoxy? I think VCT would look the best in terms of options and I don’t mind the upkeep, however...

From years of parking cars in the same spot... Corey
