BlockTile: "perforated" vs. "modular" garage floor tiles?

[annointed]

I am renovating my 20x20 attached garage, and want to go with floor tiles, rather than epoxy. I'll have pinball machines along the two side walls, a 72" Kegerator, and arcade machines along the wall straight ahead of the door, and will keep one car directly in the middle.

I've settled on BlockTile from Sam's Club, but they have two varieties, perforated and modular.

Perforated: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/floor-...paign=rr&sn=ClickCP&campaign_data=prod4660075

Modular: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/blockt...paign=rr&sn=ClickCP&campaign_data=prod8690107

The perforated tiles have a cool two tone look, but they also look like they would allow liquids to seep down under the tile. So I assume that any spilled beer, dripped oil, or other liquids would end up on the concrete under the tiled floor where they can't be properly cleaned. I haven't looked at any of these tiles in person yet, but am I correct in my understanding? If so, the the solid "modular" tiles seem better for my garage.

On the other hand, I have an outdoor hot tub on a concrete patio, and I think the perforated BlockTiles would be good to put under it to allow more air to dry the wooden base of the hot tub after rainstorms, to help prevent the wood from rotting prematurely.

Am I off base on any of this?

Thanks!

Bumping to see if anyone can speak to this question. Thanks

I have never sold or used a tile from Sam's club. Sometimes with the club stores you get a great deal on a private label version of a high end product. Sometimes you get a cheap product made in China. I would suggest buying a box, opening it and seeing what you think.

Open tiles, at least properly made ones do allow everything to go through and you can clean directly through them.

^ agreed, what he said - get a box, open it and compare... Even if you are not familiar with modular flooring and the harsh garage enviroment where you are installing it, you will see differences.

I'm a bit late on this one - sorry if this is too old to be useful. I was in the same boat as you and went with the perforated tiles. For the money, it seems to be a pretty good product. Here's a link to my experience thus far:
