That looks sweet! Exactly the look that I'm after. I'm curious about one thing. You mentioned that you did all your prep work on Friday evening and then applied the sealer the next morning. Did your concrete dry up that quickly? I was under the impression that the floor would have to be bone...

Hello Everyone Last night I finished prepping my floor for an acrylic sealer. Acid etch, followed by ammonia/water neutralizing, followed by several rinses, and, just to put the icing on the cake I pressured washed twice with an electric 2000 psi washer. Today the floor is still very damp...

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some acid stain advice. I'm closing in on finishing my mancave. The previous owner used this space as a woodworking shop and I've transformed it into a cool hangout area. Now, the final step is the floor. My plan has been to put down a high gloss acrylic sealer...

Thanks for the replies. When you mention "sanding" is this something different than a full-fledged grinding? If so, what would I use for this?

Hello All Looking for some advice when it comes to proper garage floor prep prior to application of a high gloss acrylic sealer. The floor is about 15 years old and has radiant heat. The previous owner did not park vehicles in the garage, he used it as a woodworking shop, so, there's many...

Hi I'm trying to decide between the Racedeck freeflow and the solid tiles. My garage floor has in-floor radiant heat, and I plan to use this space as more of a hangout than anything else. I won't even be parking a vehicle in there. I'm curious about what the freeflow tiles would be like to...

I really miss the old days ......................when I had a spine ..............I'm really hoping solid tiles would be just as good as free flow for my situation.

Thank-you for the replies. My garage is going to basically be a man-cave as opposed to a working garage. I keep it about the same temp. as the house. I guess my concerns about the racedeck over a heated floor was the idea that the tiles would not allow the heat to flow upwards through them and...

Hello everyone. Brand new member here with a few questions. I live in Canada and recently bought a home that has in-floor radiant heat in the garage. I'm seriously considering Racedeck garage flooring, however, I had a couple of questions that I was hoping some members could help me with; 1)...
