I use the same plastic material that real estate signs are made of when jacking up the car on my Swisstrax. A couple of pieces is all you need, and they don’t take up very much room. Easy to handle, and easy to roll a floor jack onto and off of. I do have about half a dozen pieces sitting in the...

I bought a vacuum and mopping robot on Amazon and have been using it in the garage a few times. It works well and removes small bits of detritus, leaves, etc. The mopping feature is just okay, but it’s good enough to remove the dust left by my tires on my Swisstrax smoothtrax tiles. These...

Swisstrax runs decent sales at certain holidays such as Black Friday, July 4, Veteran’s Day, Labor Day, etc. as well as when SEMA is occurring.

Re: Installation difference between 16"x16" ceramic tile vs 48"x8" ceramic "wood" til Appreciate all of the replies, everyone. I’ve definitely obtain my answer.

Re: Installation difference between 16"x16" ceramic tile vs 48"x8" ceramic "wood" til That balance has been maintained on numerous levels, thanks. As I mentioned, there are details that no one else is aware of.

Re: Installation difference between 16"x16" ceramic tile vs 48"x8" ceramic "wood" til Thanks for the help, everyone. There are parts of this renovation that are not known to anyone else here. I'm looking for a fair approach to all aspects of the project and have been more than understanding...

Installation difference between 16"x16" ceramic tile vs 48"x8" ceramic "wood" tile? We are having our basement finished. Our contractor is saying he has to use flooring leveler (or more flooring leveler than with regular ceramic tiles) because our concrete slab floor is not level enough for the...

Thanks. I'm going to pull the trigger on one of the grays today.

Randy, thanks for the reply.

Have you made a decision? I have been going back and forth between slate gray and pearl gray and have been scouring the internet for images. Wish Swisstrax had better photos of all of their samples.

I use this Ridgid light. Love it. Bought two batteries, but it can be with AC a power. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-Hybrid-GEN5X-Cordless-Folding-Panel-Light-Tool-Only-R8694221B/207041053

Where else can I buy Swisstrax flooring other than directly through Swisstrax, Home Depot or Amazon? I was going to use the Veteran's Day sale offered by Swisstrax, but Amazon is actually selling what I need for about $100 less. I'm actually about six months away from being ready to install the...

Thanks, everyone. The more I read about spray foam for stone foundations, the more I'm convinced that adding a layer of foam is the wrong way to approach this for the reason I previously stated.

We haven't used a window AC in many years, but we bought a Honeywell portable AC unit to cool our spray foamed attic. Works more than fine in the 720 sf space, and we keep it at a fairly high temp of 77 degrees, just enough to cut the heat when we need to go up there for a few minutes.

Thanks, all. I'm doing more research, and fiberglass batting is out. Rock wool aka Roxul is great stuff and is supposedly excellent for sound absorption, but, if wet, still needs to dry out. I briefly considered having the stone walls sprayed with closed cell spray foam but have ruled that out...

Thanks for all of the comments, everyone! Building an addition on grade is not an option. We already have a family room addition, a sunroom addition and a pond/waterfall, meaning we simply don't have the room for another structure. We have a full perimeter French drain, so what little (and I...

We are planning on finishing our basement, and I'm trying to figure out the best type of insulation for our budget. The foundation is stone (1930s rubblestone) and occasionally leaks water that very, very lightly trickles down the walls in three spots and into the French drain. The walls never...

$2,600 for our 22' L x 19' W x 9' H garage.

Here's the quote I received three years ago for closed cell in our garage: 3. Spray apply to the underside of garage roof deck sheathing. Approximately 507' SF = 1,014' BF @ 2" inch thickness = R-14 4. Spray apply at all garage exterior facing wall cavities including gable ends. Approximately...
