My garage floor in my recently purchased home is old, cracked and has many pock marks on the surface. It seems my only option is to do a Racedeck type floor and cover it up as the prep involved to tile or epoxy would be excessive. I have a couple of concerns:
1. Wear and tear with jacks and jackstands.
2. My mid-rise sissors lift destroying the tiles.
Anyone have any experience with the mid-rise lifts on tile?
Thanks,

I would go with a premium ultra flat garage floor tile or a premium smooth PVC garage tile and stain block.

Hi
Thank you for considering RaceDeck garage flooring. From what you describe above, you should have no issue with RaceDeck. A note on Jack Stands, there are many styles out there. If you are going to buy some stands, try to find anything other then the thin angle iron leg type <> there are many with large legs or base-plates built in. the issue with the cheaper angle iron type is they will scratch most anything, even concrete. With a modular floor, VCT or other surfaces it could act like a cookie cutter. IF you already have them, then a simple pad of some sort ( metal or wood) will eliminate any possible issue.
If you are going to have heavy loads on your floor, you may not want to go with a soft tile or mat, as they tend to compress and bunch up under rolling loads.
We are happy to send you our some free samples to try.

Cheers
