Looking for pics.

I ran racedeck freeflow on the last house with no drains for years and loved it.

New house is close to garage pour and I need to figure out drainage.

It's 2 attached garages (2100 sq ft) with 2 18x8 doors.

I was thinking i'll run racedeck free flow again but stop it 5-6 inches short of the door and run 10 foot french drains inside along the door (centered).

Has anyone done this or similar?

Looking for pics and advice.

Garage so far has pics in another thread about lighting, but here they are for a visual so you can see what i'm doing.

Since you're using free flow tiles why not run them right over the drains?

Are the drains flush with the floor? In my house I have 3 large drain areas and the floor slopes to each throughout. I have both the DiamondTile and FreeFlow over the top and it works great. I wash my cars all winter in the garage as well

Drains are flush to the floor.

They are pouring today so I’ll
have pics soon.

The debate is really to run free flow over them or run free flow right up to them and have the black edging stop right at the drain edge.

On one hand I’d like the tiles to
Go to the door like my current garage, but I really want to see the drains too because they look so cool [emoji41]

100% open to suggestion on which is better.

Thanks!
Aaron
