    FREE!!!!! RockSolid Floors Polyurea Gray Kit's

    I saw Rock Solid Floors at Lowes today. Can I use this stuff over my existing POR 15 floor? POR 15 is similar in chemical composition to Rock Solid. Anyway can I get a sample to try over my POR 15? My POR 15 doesn't hold up to hot wet tire pick-up. Hot wet tires which are allowed to cool...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    For small cracks in a concrete slab and expansion cuts will a membrane suffice in those areas? I have stone and tile throughout my home. Concrete floor. The membrane plus thinset is all the tile guy used. On the lanai/patio he used the "red stuff." I have no problems with cracked tiles or...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    I really appreciate this thread. After discussing the garage floor with my wife we (she) has decided that a 12 or 16" Porcelain Tile is the best choice for us. We will keep using the BLT mats as they work well. I would rather spend $5500 on real porcelain tile on a diagonal than $2500 on...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    If I didn't have the POR15 to sand up/grind then tile would be the way to go for me. However, It will cost me $500-600 to hire somebody to get up that PO15. Then, I need to buy some membrane for the cuts in the slab and cracks. Finally, Tile, Grout and labor. Total for me is probably $5,500...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    I have 2 very important questions: 1. I have POR 15 Floor Armor. It isn't peeling or chipped jut showing scratches. I have sanded and repaired all chips/peeling spots. The stuff is strong and only hot wet rubber which is allowed to cool on the surface causes problems. Can I save a lot of...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    Why do you need Ditra? IF you floor is more than a year old wouldn't thinset with fiber added suffice? I thought Ditra was for new construction and putting tile over wood.

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    My POR 15 top coat with lots of grit in it is way more slippery when wet than my travertine or slate. I ended up with some car mats. I too live in Florida and the hot wet tire caused the POR 15 to adhere to the rubber as the the tire cooled. I have a 1200 SQ foot garage. Race Deck seems...

    Pulled trigger on porcelain tiles.

    In June 2007 I put down POR 15 Floor Armor. Needless to say I will need to replace this product with something else soon. DO I need to sand up the Floor Armor paint in order to put down tile? How come you went with 12" tiles and not 18"? Anyone consider Slate or Rectified tile for the garage?

    POR 15 floor epoxy

    THe guys at POR 15 Depot treated me very fairly. They refunded me 50% of my purchase cost on the POR 15 floor armor. This was fair because the product has one big limitation (warm, wet tires cause floor failure); I did not request a 100% refund because POR 15 Floor Armor holds up well in every...

    POR 15 floor epoxy

    Same here guys. I got my check today in the mail. Your customer srvice was first rate. I am parking on my bay every day and using the garage regularly. My wife has a BLT mat and I just let the tires cool down for an hour on my pavers when wet. The floor is holding up well to daily use and...

    POR 15 floor epoxy

    Dave from POR 15 Depot e-mailed me and said my refund was on the way. I requested a 50% refund and Dave agreed to it. I must say POR 15 Depot has been honest and fair. The product, POR 15 Floor Armor, needs "upgrading/retooling" for the warm, wet tire issue. I hope Corporate fixes this...

    hot tires ? - floor coating lifting - POR-15 ?

    POR 15 Depot states that the POR 15 holds up to dry and wet tires in Houston. They think my failure is due to a "moisture" problem in my slab. But, here is why they are WRONG and the problem lies with FLOOR ARMOR: Even during a heavy rain with WET TIRES and a soaking car POR 15 HOLDS UP on my...

    POR 15 floor epoxy

    I e-mailed Dave/Chris at POR 15 Depot and requested a refund. Dave implied he was willing to resolve the matter fairly. POR 15 Depot seems like an honest organization and POR 15 Floor Armor is ALMOST the best product on the market. Remember, I said "almost" because Corporate has to solve the...

    hot tires ? - floor coating lifting - POR-15 ?

    I have driven hundreds of miles on a 100 plus degree day with very high humidity and had ZERO "hot tire pick-up" on my POR 15 floor. In fact, POR 15 has held up to EVERYTHING and EVERY situation EXCEPT one: warm, WET tires which are allowed to cool down on the floor. If the car is dry or the...
