hey guys, this seems to be the preimier garage tile thread! We were looking to do this to a garage that had epoxy laid prior. Can we lay the tile right on the epoxy or does it need to be removed first? Thanks!

thanks!

your welcome, i had trouble finding any information or pictures before i started so i wanted to be sure to share.

wow, that certainly would have been nice lol.

thanks!

the wife gets the rx i get the kiddie car of course lol.

haha thats what i was going for, more of an extension of the home than just the garage. a contractor friend said that if i ran duct to the garage for heating/cooling it could actually be considered additional square footage now...not sure about those details or if i would do that but found it...

well if you can get a really good deal on the tile then i would recommend it, it is much more durable and resilient than the hardwood in our home, although putting it down wasn't fun lol.

im right near Augusta GA. -Nick

thanks!

ok guys its done! well mostly, ive still gotta seal up the grout and clean up some of the base boards, but overall, done! :willy_nil

thanks! it really helps make the garage feel like a part of the rest of the house.

yes i have! ive still got a little ways to go and I have not cleaned nor grouted yet. it will look much better after the cleaning.... first tip: Its more work than you think! lol :lol: here a quick picture. what ya think?
