Congratulations! Looks real nice

I have jacked up car on my porcelain floor before but this is the first time I took the pic. That is a 4500 lbs car resting on the jack alone. Jack stands are there only as a backup but are not supporting the car.

Re: Porcelain tile instal, thanks for the info Looks awesome! Congratulations!!

Top of the tile is 2 inches higher than the outside. It does appear to be more in the photo. Tile is 18"

No tire marks at all with 4500+ lbs vehicles on porcelain tile.

I am very happy with the tile. Everything is holding up fine and both of my vehicles are 4500 lbs+. I or any of the family members haven't slipped yet even with water on the floor. We do walk carefully just knowing that we are walking on the tile. I haven't cleaned it for months but still...

I did something similar to what you are describing. I also had an inch or so lip already and tile+thinset made it around 2 inches. I used Quikrete and picked higher quality within what was available. I made sure to keep it wet a week for slow cure. One year later no issues with my two 4500lbs...

For transition you can also create a small ramp with cement just like the the picture of my installation. Cheap and hasn't chipped in months. Different height tile could potentially cause water puddles. Go for a design that make water flow in correct direction if you still go for it. I...

Your tile project looks awesome! I like how you created pattern. Also, +1 on the tile baseboard for OP. I had debated on it whe I tiled my garage but very happy that I went for it.

Looks great! That looks like the same tile I have. See in my signature below. I also used Flexbond and Polyblend. I used Epoxy mix for grout though.

If bedded correctly they will only chip and no more than how much a concrete will chip.

Ceramic is supposed to be sealed. Added expense will compensate the price difference. With this difference consider both the same cost. I think either of these tiles will work. Between the two it is a hard choice. Ceramic definitely looks better. I have a similar rustic look tile but porcelain...
