Gladiator tile

[matty d]

I ran into 2 boxes of Gladiator tile for $70 each from a craigslist guy that sold Sears returns. I didnt even try to get a better deal - just gave the guy cash.

Each box, like Racedeck (the same manufacturer) contains 48 tiles. Grey and Charcoal.

Im going to call that guy back up for some more - he said he had more in another warehouse. Boy did he make my day! 7 boxes to go...Im going to do all I can to get them at this price. Cost prohibitive around $200 a box at Sears. Even with some sales (e.g. 10-20% off) its still cost prohibitive for me.

Im REAL impressed with the tile. My garage looks better even with 100 sq foot pad. The seams are real tight and there is a slight sheen to the tile. SHARP.

Nice score, you lucky duck!

I was just at UC-Davis dodging bicycyles two weeks ago!

Hey Marty

Thanks

Ive been looking and looking at tile, looking at RaceDeck and asking for samples etc...RaceDeck has the best retail prices for the quality. It was just a matter of time before I pulled the trigger and just got lucky.

We are in Woodland, only 6 miles away from Davis. I went to school at UC Davis. Love it here, although you have to drive everywhere to get anywhere. Love the 90 degree weather!

Best wishes

Matt

Two weeks too late for a round at Froggy's or Burgers and Brew, but there is always next time! That is one fine Hyatt Place hotel on campus. And go Aggies, btw.

Your flooring acquisitions look great beneath your Gladiator gear, Matt. Keep us posted as you progress!

Mr. Gladiator strikes again!

I didn't know that RaceDeck and Gladiator tiles were manufactured together, interesting.

Racedeck is the manufacturer of GW tile. I guess they figured out a contract. From what Ive been told by Jorgen (great guy BTW), they interlock together however the thickness may be slightly off. You know what? I have a few pieces of Racedeck. I'll fit the Racedeck and GW together today and take a pic and post later.
