The problem with doing that is the water won't "self-drain". And when you squeegee the water toward the drain, very little will make it's way in. I would "honor" the pitch and cut the surrounding tiles into smaller pieces.

The 18x18" tiles are fine to use, just remember, they work better with a "flat" floor. If you have center floor drains with pitch leading to them, it's extremely hard to follow that contour. If your floor is all pitched to the doors, and relatively flat, it won't be a problem. Take a 6 or 8 foot...

Nice looking cabinets, there just isn't a lot out their to choose from! Seems the sale is over according to the website, wish they offered a matching tall floor cabinet. Thanks for posting.

1) typically power troweled 2) absolutely not (you mean the concrete underneath the tile I assume) 3)usually they return the next day, I believe they should be 25% of the pour depth 4"=1" 4)tough call, are you pitching the floor towards the door, or are you planning on a floor drain? I have...

Have him use a cup grinder with dust shroud and a vacumn attachment. Plastic off the cabinets and doorways. That's the best way to prep a floor, it'll also open up the "pores" of the concrete for a better bond. It sounds like a lot of work, but doing things properly usually are!

Like Legacy said, you want to grind it off. The best method is an angle grinder with a cup wheel which has a series of diamond segments bonded to the bottom of the wheel. A shroud attached to the grinder with a vacumn hook-up will give you a relatively clean job. If you're using a standard...

Even with a narrow grout joint, it's still somewhat recessed from the tile surface. I would think if you sweept sand across the floor, some of it would catch in the joints. By the way, I've never heard of a maintenance free floor. How does that work, you push a button and a robot vacumns and...

I have to agree with Kevin, I too have wondered how this type of flooring would hold up in a snowy climate. I've been going back and forth between porcelain,epoxy/poly and VCT. While I think porcelain would be the nicest looking surface, I don't think keeping it clean would be easy with all the...

Custom 1, What is the product that you're applying over the block walls? It appears to be some type of foam insulation with a paper coating so it can be finished the same as conventional drywall?

You'll probably end up raising the floor height 5/8-3/4" depending on tile thickness. If the floor has pitch to the drain (except for the low spot), simply fill the low area with thinset and strike it off. Then install your tile. The drain will have to be shimmed up if you want it somewhat flush...

Did you do a clear topcoat? I looked in a polyurea coating and the samples didn't include the topcoat. Seemed like you could dig out the chips with your fingernail. I suppose and broadcast floor requires a topcoat if you want it smooth. Floor looks great!

You know, this is something I've been looking for for a long time also! I find it hard to believe that no one makes a decent affordable hose nozzle. I hate to say it, but it's all **** productss these days.

We built a new house recently, and the garage doors were wood over a 2" insulated metal door. The springs, hardware and openers had to be better to handle the additional weight. I'm very happy with them

You're definitely going to want to install a nosing on the step. If you just **** the tile together it will get chipped from use quite quickly, especially if there are any voids underneath. Usually, concrete steps don't have sharp, square edges. You can use either a vinyl or pure rubber nosing...

The problem I see with a garage flooring business selling VCT is the cost of shipping and the ability to be able to make enough of a profit over the local Home Depot pricing. There are a wide selection of colors available, but custom colors come with a custom pricing and as always, it's full...

Well, you're probably right, but the state disagreed with you and gave her a license anyway! As stated above, it's not such a silly idea based on needed clearance.

I was wondering the same thing, anyone have good luck with any other products? Thanks!

That looks similar to a VCT with a dimpled surface and in an 18" size. I would think it might be less slippery and possibly show less scratching. I assume the color goes all the way through, looks interesting, what type of climate do you love in?

There seems to be alot of Weber fans on here. I looking at a S-310 Genesis but would like to secure it permanently to the patio. Has anyone ever done this with a Weber? I'ld probably run into a clearance issue with the lower doors unless I mounted it up on a base. The gas grill I had at our...
