I was at HD yesterday and spotted their Allure Commercial Flooring. It installs like traditional Allure with the plank to plank adhesive system but it has a diamond plate pattern and they claim its designed for garage flooring. Since its a floating floor and there's no prep it looks tempting. It's under 4 bucks a square foot.
My Mom has been looking for a finished floor in her garage and her application is very light duty. I was going to epoxy it but this stuff may be the ticket if I can get any real world information on how good it is.

Better do a moisture test first...

Check out this forum and posts on Trafficmaster Allure flooring... Many people with installations on concrete have had troubles.. Most of those due to moisture. Some due to temps. I installed it in a living room and kitchen and after I was all done super-gluing all the popped seams, it worked out nicely - but I chased those darned pop ups for a few weeks.

Here is my installation:

Big Foot,

I used Allure in a kitchen on a house sale prep. They say to warm the seams with a heat gun to activate the adhesive (on problem areas)

The Allure planks were acclimated for two weeks in the same rooms that they were to be installed in. They were hand rolled as they were being installed and then rolled in three directions with a 100# roller. The installer is a pro and floors is all he does and has installed many Allure floors in the past. We did try using a heat gun on the popups, but even when brought up over 200 degrees, it still only held for a few days. When calling the factory ,they tell you that they will send a special adhesive to you. Turns out that the special adhesive is super glue.

I have used the stuff in my race trailer. I installed it outside in the dead of winter without heating the edges and still worked perfectly fine. For teh costs I would use something else like race deck tile. I liked it alot but I don't think for the money its better than race deck. Here are a couple of pics.
