Convenience mainly. Allows for entry to the garage without opening the overhead doors. Especially if you don't have an external keypad. You can give a house sitter the key to the man door and they won't need to use your main entrance. Also, can be easier and quicker to walk outside through the...

Getting a little confused here. Will I need to run the neural alongside the travelers then?

This is how I originally thought of doing it but then thought why do I need a neutral to run alongside the travelers? They aren't hooked to the switch....I could just run a neutral from the panel to box D??

Great idea. Will do.

Exactly why I posted......

I've been searching, thinking, more searching but can't seem to find an answer to what I am trying to do and can't seem to wrap my head around how to do this. Here's what I'm trying to do and I'm sure it's super simple but I am stuck. I'm hoping someone can help me.... I am wiring my garage...

Thanks guys. I am concerned about the moisture content as well. It's not a great deal but it's decent. I can't seem to find porcelian tile for very cheap that I like. I may have to pass on this. The semi vitreous doesn't seem like a good fit for my location. I don't know if I used an epoxy...

Would you guys use this tile in your garage? My only concern is how it is indoor rated. I am located in Utah and temps in the sub zero are not uncommon during the winter. Usually only for a few days. I do plan to heat my garage but currently haven't done so yet. I think I know the answer to my...

Those that we're able to get this tile I'd be interested in hearing back how well it works in their garage. Particularly how slick it is when wet. Glad to hear some people got it!!!

Keep us posted. Maybe why it is so cheap is one side measures 12.12". Just noticed that in the description.

Yah I worry about the cof and the pei too. But at .08 a SF why not??? Cleveman--->Let us know how it goes! I may do it as well. Still a bit worried about the slickness....wonder if it would be about the same as the concrete slab I have now?????? Thanks everyone for their responses!!

Current code in my area requires exterior receptacles to be in a weather proof box. Such as this... http://www.aifittings.com/catalog/weatherproof-products/low-profile-inbox-for-new-stucco-textured-surfaces-and-rigid-siding/ This should help with moisture and corrosion you are speaking about...

Not sure on manufacturer. It's being sold locally by a guy that has some left over from a job. I will be checking it out tomorrow.

Found some tile, looks pretty good to me but wanted to run it by you guys to see if I am not missing anything: Porcelain Rectified Water Absorption less then .5 Break Strength is 325 Scratch resistance is 8 COF is greater then .6 WET COF is greater then .7 DRY $1.50 SF Seems to me it should...

Ok. Now I'm a bit confused. I thought the pei rating had to do with the hardness of the tile?? When I look at the specs of a pei 5 rated tile it says 500-750 in pounds. Pei 3 says 250-500 inch pounds. Does it have to do with both, wear and hardness? I have been worried about a pei 3 rated tile...

Thank you. I'm glad I didn't go for it. Thanks for your response. I want this to be a one time installation.

I know PEI 4 and 5 is what has been recommended on this site multiple times. I was hoping someone would chime in and give me some input on pei 3. I found a really get deal on glazed porcelain tile where I could get all the tile for my garage for about a $150. Unfortunatly it is rated pei 3. For...

Hi Guys, Found a good deal on some glazed porcelain tile. It's rated PEI 3 and Dry Coefficient of Friction 0.6 Wet Coefficient of Friction 0.4. Would you pass on this for a garage floor? I know the threads I have read have said PEI 4 or higher. With this being porcelain I am wondering...
