I know how you feel, had the same issue, agonized over it for months, finally I just wanted to stop thinking about it and pulled the trigger. My choices were between Racedeck and Swisstrax, I narrowed it down to them because they both are top rated in the customer service department and their...

After months of agonizing over what to do with the floor in my car shop, I finally settled on Swisstrax. Racedeck was my second choice and the only reason for settling on one over the other was the size difference in the tiles. Swisstrax is 13" square and allowed me to do the IU logo exactly...

Thanks for the fast replies! I am making a running list of suggestions to discuss with my contractor--once I finally get through with the bid process and pick one!
