Dry Core Sub-Floor Systems

[ScSilverDak]

Anyone ever use this in a Garage before???

I've seen it used in basements and family rooms, and I'm planning to use it in a least part of the Garage where my work bench will be to level out my concrete floor so I can build a squared work bench that won't pitch and Yawww as I used it...

I'm wondering if it will stand up to parking a vehicle on it for extended periods?

Man... I've NEVER seen that before... it kind of looks cool in a way. I think it would work fine if you sealed it. Most of the OSB adhesive now is at least somewhat chemical resistant so I think even a cheaper sealer would work. In fact, you might want to take a piece of that and soak it in brake fluid to see if it holds up without sealing. Of course... I think it would look alot cooler if you stained it with some Cabot Stain and then sealed it...

Oh... what is this called?

From their website (and it is DRIcore, by the way):

The DRIcore subfloor panels can support over 5,724 lbs. per square foot, as tested by an independent lab, so heavy furniture and equipment like pool tables, weight sets and pianos are no problem.

For garage installations, panels must end a minimum 1’ from the garage door opening. Anchor panels with Tapcon type concrete fasteners at the leading edge, install a 7/8" transition strip to protect the edges of the panels, and anchor perimeter wall edge panels to the concrete floor every 4th panel.
