Awesome, thanks for that! So it's definitely porous then, as water absorbs into the concrete almost instantly when it gets wet. So then do I just need to sweep really good, then mop with soapy water? Or just plain hot water so there's no soapy residue? Or Soapy water followed by plain water...

How would one measure porousness?

I recently posted a thread on finding options for coating the concrete floor in my new 1400 sqft detailing shop, and I ended up going with this concrete sealer from Legacy Industries http://www.legacyindustrial.net/products/concrete-sealers/hd6600-mma-concrete-sealer.html Thanks Scotty, the...

Thanks guys! sounds like I need to make a phone call and get some more detailed info directly from the source! Yeah, I already checked with them and they are fine with it. I agree, it would be nice to have tiles, but the price is just not comparable or conceivable. For just my 875sqft working...

Thanks for that info benwah, So i think I'm liking the MMA options and curious if anyone has experience with them ease of application (is it basically like painting a wall) and how they might hold up to this type of environment over time. I wasnt really planning on spending quite this much on...

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, I really appreciate it. So, many of the things noted are pretty top of the line products, and they all look awesome, but I think a little more than what I have budgeted to spend right now. I'm basically wanting to get something on the floor to...

That looks interesting, and application sounds pretty easy, for about $300 (sounds like I'd need three gallons) it seems like a pretty good option to really seal it in. It might be more than I really "need" but sounds like I wouldn't have to deal with for a long time. What's the traction like...

Hey guys, so I just started a lease on my first detailing shop and am looking to find the best option for the flooring. It will be a working garage and the most important part is functionality, but I want it to look good too, and be able to be somewhat easily cleaned. Since I'm leasing the...

one more bump attempt, especially interested in if you did anything in that wash bay to keep it less slippery. Thanks!

Thanks, will the cinders and road dirt all get trapped in the ribs though? How often would these need to get pulled up and cleaned underneath? If I were to go with these Racedeck FF tiles, would it probably look the best to continue them through the entire shop, or just switch to a different...

This is good to hear! How slip-resistant are they when wet (is it like a skating rink)? How would they hold up if you were washing cars daily? I'm looking for a flooring option for a new detailing shop (that will have an indoor wash bay) that will be easy to clean (the roads get cinders put on...

Thanks again for the additional info guys. As much as I like the look of Racedeck, the more I read about it, the less I feel like it's the best fit for my specific situation. I really like the sounds of some sort of epoxy coating with anti-slip mixed in to keep it from getting slippery when...

It can be tough, but you work through it. Not the best elements though...part of the reason why I'm expanding to include a shop :thumbup:

Yeah, I was thinking maybe a Racedeck for the small office/"waiting" room and then some sort of epoxy for the actual garage? I take a lot of pictures for website/social media stuff, so definitely a nice bright and clean workspace will be important. I might just just have to hit you up for some...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this build is incredible. I used to detail up in Seattle for years and saw many pictures of your place here and there, but never the whole build of it, very inspiring. I'm in the very early stages of building a smaller shop here in the Bend, and there are a ton...
