    Is it me, or does every thread in FLOORING feel like a sales pitch?

    As a recent new member I followed the flooring discussions, asked questions, received advice, spoke personally to 3 of the more familiar vendors on the forum and received samples from each. The result. ...I avoided an expensive and possible disappointing decision. My flooring purchase was made...

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    Have you made any progress in your research, I'm going through the same process and it is proving difficult to settle on the best product. Have received a couple samples and waiting on PVC now, however will be receiving only 4"x4" pieces so it may be difficult to compare to 12x12 polypropylene...

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    Justin, Sorry I misunderstood your response. I don't want to disparage anyone here. However I have stumbled upon some pretty unsettling information about a particular product that could cause others a costly mistake. I'll take the rest of this conversation private with you if you don't mind.

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. It appears I now have a new option that I was previously unaware of. Epoxy, plastic tiles and now solid tiles. Will the solid tiles handle the slush, salt etc that collects in my wheel wells during the NJ winter storms? I think I understand how epoxy...

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    Armorpoxy I didn't mean to question Truelock pricing. My concern is why the manufacturer (claimed manufacturer ) would be selling his entire inventory on Craigslist while boasting about his product on the phone. He will likely not last long as a Sears supplier with poor quality. My project is...

    I used the sheetrock for aesthetic reasons only. The painted OSB had too much of the particles shiwing through the paint and actually began to delaminate from the paint. Overall OSB is a good choice

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    Justin please help clarify. Looked at your Truelock and Truelock HD. Also looked at Sears Snaplock. The phone number provided by Sears is for the manufacturer Snaplock Industries in Cleveland Tn. The owner claims to be the manufacturer of Truelock HD also. However, he us advertising his entire...

    I did a similar project in a larger space. For budget reasons used 1/2" OSB under 1/4" sheetrock. Insulated first. Has worked out fine in NJ climate and the 1/4" was so much easier to handle. Good luck with your project

    Hello from Chesterfield NJ

    Thank you HOTFR8. It's a great place to learn and avoid mistakes. The flooring question keeps unraveling the more I read. Have samples of tiles on the way based on a post by Racedeck rep on here. Not sure if I'll be able to afford but gotta start somewhere. Have a great day and thanks for your...
