Checkered Board Floor Question?

[Joe50]

I want to do a checkered board floor in my 1800 sq garage and was wondering if anyone has had it done like this?

Also if you have it down on your floor, can you post some pictures?

Thanks guys! A Newbie here!

Welcome aboard Newbie. I don't know about everybody else but that seems like a lot of work. I did mine black and white checker board with sticky tiles. makes sense since if I change my mind a can pull it up and apply changes later if i want. But everybody has a certain way they want their floor. Sure you will get different ideas from this forum.

This would be a great way to do it if the price was right. I have a neighbor who actually had the floor stained red like brick, then cut the lines (about 1/16"-1/8") deep so it looks like morter. This is great because it won't peel like an epoxy coat and you don't have to mess with tiles. Wish I had gone the stained concrete direction with cut grooves.

Many of the reputable garage floor tile manufacturers like Swisstrax and RaceDeck have floor designers. I have put many a checker board pattern down and its really no more work than going all one color. Just get the design right and use a good tile

Too bad checkeredfloor.com is a scam. I placed a large order with them and they never send the product or refunded me. I'd avoid them at all costs.

I'm not understanding why this is a big deal. I went to a big box home improvement store, bought several boxes of white and several boxes of black and laid them as I'd do a single color floor except that I alternated the two colors. I did it in a four tile per color block style becasie I think the single tile alternating pattern looks too busy. I'd never do another VCT tile garage floor. They look great until the damage starts

Our VCT Solution eliminates the need to strip & wax and adds the impact and abrasion resistance similar to our full epoxy systems.
