I saw ibedayank's post on the taping ... very good point. To clarify, I'm just taping the edge where it meets my thresehold. The rest of the perimiter will be loose ... might tape the seams.

The rolls came super quick .... 4 days after placing the order. I just completed securing 1 1/2" aluminum strips (1/8" thick) as a "threshold" as you enter the garage. I didn't want the wheels of the car to make contact with the edge of the mats as you pull into the garage. I like the idea of...

Thanks for the the replys. I'm going to go for it. Did anyone use double sided tape along the edges for extra holding power?

Is the floor slick when it gets wet? I was thinking of doing VCT but adding a clear sealer on top with an anti-slip additive like Sharks Grip. Can you put a wter based sealer on top of VCT?

Will the rubber expand and contract causing a buckling issue?

My cost looks to be $3.57 a sf including everything (reducers, shipping, etc...). This seems to put the rubber tile floor in the mid-range of garage flooring options. I think the ease and quickness of installation also has to be factored into the cost. Others gloss over this aspect but it is...

I've been on this forum many, many times over the past year and value the opinions and information this place provides. After seriously leaning towards VCT, Racedeck and epoxy at different times over the past year I'd like the members thoughts on these 2 rubber tile products...

Getting very close to pulling the trigger. I've been on this forum for weeks now and boy, is there a lot of ground to cover and many things to consider. Questions: 1) I've got access to a rental walk behind concrete grinder with a diamond blade. ($106 for the day including the blades) Plan to...

nissiancrawler and/or chrisandnat (or anyone else): Was your floor prep done with a grinder that had diamond cutters or stones? I went to United Rentals yesterday and they had the Edco with stones for about $100 a day. My slab is about 5 years old. It is in very good shape however we put a...

You are doing exactly what I' leaning towards doing (Quikcrete from HD an renting a floor grinder to prep). It is between this and VCT...... When are you actually painting the floor? I'll be very interested in your results. Thanks
