Free flow 18” XL black and alloy install.
Important for me to note the size and color because I looked at hundreds of pictures here and on the Racedeck site and sometimes had a hard time telling what the color or size was (some pictures can be deceiving with the free flow).
R&L Carriers delivered my new floor on Friday and the driver went above and beyond. I wasn’t home to help him and my driveway is very steep and he rely had to work to get the pallet up the driveway and into my garage.
Sanded/cleaned and put down two coats of gray concrete paint before installing new floor. One I wanted to seal the 25 year old floor and though it would look better looking through the free flow.
Enjoyed installing the new floor. Had many cut ins at different angles. Found it best to use the table saw and jig saw with fine tooth blades. After each cut I would hit the edge quick with a wire brush to remove the burrs/rough edge. Also found it easier to stack small piles of tiles along edge of installation and sit on a milk crate sliding a long tapping in the tiles with a rubber mallet. This was allot easier on the back and knees.
Very happy with the look of the floor and looking forward to putting my garage back together.

Looks great.. so the advantage of the large tile is just faster coverage?

No it probably would have gone a little faster using the 12" preassembled in a 2'x2' pattern. I liked the look of both 2'x2' and 18" checkerboard but thought the 12" tile was a lot busier looking than the 18".
Both look good just a matter of preference.

Started moving back in today.

Great setup! I think more people will start using the 18" tiles once they are more well known.
