Floor Junkie Tile

[Defender90]

Hello all!

This is my first post. I am wanting to lay down some tile in my three car garage. My floor is in great shape, I just want to dress it up a bit and I'm sick of the concrete dust.

Has anyone used Floor Junkie tile? They offer 1sqft for $1.98 which is the best deal I've seen thus far.

Lastly, I would like to be able to wash my cars in the garage. Are the perforated tiles required? If they are, I'm thinking about using them in a 2 foot perimeter around each car rather than the entire area under the cars.
What to you think?
Also, I get a fair amount of snow, so would I have to worry about the loose gravel/sand/salt collecting under the tiles?

Cheers...

There are a few threads on it.

I have had FJ tiles for a few years
I am very happy but I would not wash my car in the garage.

In the winter months I laid down a large rubber mat to catch the snow and ice
Then I simply sweep it out the door.

Thanks for the reply. Why wouldn't wash you car inside? Seems like having perforated tile would drain the water outside as the floor is typically sloped downwards to the garage door.

I like the way that looks John.

Any issues?

So this is a cheaper version of Racedeck? I'm not up on the plastic floors but I want to do checkerboard in my new shop.

Just have to be careful of concentrated weight... such as the wheels of a floor jack when lifting a car

it will dent.

I just lay down a small piece of plywood ....

welding/grinding sparks don't bother it too much... but of course if you drop a piece of hot steel on it, it will melt.

I might buy some for my shed I'm building...

It's cheap but not in anyway a version of RaceDeck ha ha
