Wow time flies... I'm pretty negligent about responding here, sorry about that. Here are a couple of pics of the transition. We just used porcelain tile trim pieces. I can't attest to the long term durability of this solution, but so far so good and I think it came out looking pretty good by...

I would not have considered porcelain before reading this forum. I just didn't even think of it as an option for a garage flooring. Friends of mine have expressed concerns about the floor cracking or chipping and before starting the flooring project I had to convince myself this wasn't going...

I said I would post a final cost for the project and here it is: | Versabond Thin Set Mortar | 13 50ib bags at $15 | 210 | | Poleyblend sanded grout | 5 25ib bags at $15 | 90 | | Miracle Grout Shield | 7 70oz at $27...

Pay2Play: Sorry about the very late reply. So I bought enough 7 1/4" PVC board to trim the garage, but it has sat for the last several months :( I should hang out on this forum just to learn how to get this stuff done in a reasonable amount of time. Funny to think I actually considered tiling...

The wood is definitely a great look. Awesome job!

Looks good! From all accounts Rust Bullet is a really good surface too. I think the third coat really makes a difference.

Thanks Dakota, that looks good, Would I need to put anything behind it to fill the gap?

Thanks for the compliments. I wouldn't have pursued a tile solution, or even known to consider it, without the threads on this forum. Now that it is done I'm really happy with it! I'm curious about any suggestions about doing the floor molding. I would like to use this...

No reason for the staggered pattern except for personal preference. My view with grout lines is that you either try to blend them in with the tile, or accentuate them. I like the tile I got, and as I've said it was priced well, but they are a little on the bland side compared to more expensive...

So grouting was completed yesterday. Got the opportunity to put the cars back in the garage tonight, they are filthy after sitting outside for almost a week. I'll post a price list and more details about the experience, but in general I'm thrilled with it. Next phase is molding!!! @Ray, No...

Thanks Pay2play and Cranium. You set the hi bar on flooring Pay2Play, if mine looks half as good as yours I'll be thrilled. Pic on progress this weekend

Like yourself, when I began researching flooring I never considered porcelain tile until coming across this forum. I'm now about midway through the install. I can't speak to the logistics of installing the tile you have picked out, as others have, but I think it would look awesome! I'm looking...

I have a 850sf garage I'm getting tiled right now... materials are in, tile guys come out on Saturday. Hopefully it will be done by the middle of next week. I found tile at $0.67/sf at Lowes, but I wasn't being too picky either with color or size. The tile option is not going to be cheap...

Did the Dimabrush today. I'll try what you said Ray this evening and make sure I have a good bonding, but of course after grinding I certainly hope so :) Mactrees, that's a good point. I did something similar to what you said and the tile really is non slippery, even when wet. It kinda has a...

Thanks Cave Creek, I'll try that out! And yea, I'm leaning toward renting out a buffer and either as you say buff it up with grit, or put a dimabrush on it. They'll be using Versabond, I'm suppose to grab 22 bags of the stuff.

Well, looks like this is happening... Tile comes in Thursday, tile guys start next week. The tile I linked to in OP dropped down to $0.67sf. Aesthetically I would have preferred 18x18 and something a little lighter, I think Pay2Plays project in another thread looks awesome, but beggars can't...

After reading some of the treads in this forum I'm considering putting down porcelain tile. My garage is roughly 820sf. It has a concrete sealer on it, I assume this will need to be ground off? I'm thinking of this tile...

I was going to get the 5 gallon container for 800sq+, is that still enough given the 3 coats?

Yea... Here's an image of a drop of water after about a minute, I'm pretty confident there's a sealer. Thanks for replying. My motivation for Rust Bullet was the potential for limited prep work. I was hoping I could put Rust Bullet down on top of the sealer, but it looks like any garage...

So after doing some research I'd like to apply Rust bullet to my 820sf garage floor. I'm not planning on anything fancy, just a coupe coats of the metallic grey. I purchased this house a few months ago, and it was build in 1994. I would say the concrete is in good shape, however, there is some...
