Hello and good day. This is my first post on Garage Forum. Reading through many of the flooring threads I found a great deal of info. All of which has adjusted my thoughts over and over again about what floor I'll be using in my garage.
Slightly pissed at the moment seeing as though I spent so much time and effort into my plan and now it must change, I am facing a harsh reality.
I ain't doing it. This means I ain't removing the paint from my garage floor. I'll post some pics later into my thread as this will turn into my build thread. But as for now, let's just say the amount of time and effort already vested is a lot. And I ain't removing the paint to put down ceramic tile. I know, I know, I know.....if I don't remove the paint the tile won't secure. Therefore my plan for tile is not going to happen. I really wanted ceramic tile but since paint removal is a necessity I must move on.
Bringing me to my point of this thread. Other options. I've certainly narrowed it down. I'm thinking of the beauty looking Perfection tiles from Lowes. They are 20.5 x 20.5 and come in some decent looking tile patterns. Basically I want the tile look without removing my paint. I don't like the idea of using these as I wanted something "solid" to the feel on my feet like real tile but I want to see what the forum thinks of these types of tile. Clicking together each tile just seems cheap to me....thought the price tags say differently. Floating floors? Is that what these feel like in a garage? I don't want every time I take a step in my garage I feel the floor take a slight move underneath me. Is this how they feel? Like linking hardwood floors together without glue is what is seems to me. I know how that feels and it feels WEAK. Strong flooring is important to me so I take your opinion seriously and thank you for your thoughts on this topic.
I sit here ravaged with anger that I have about 5 coats of heavy duty acrylic paint on my garage floor, all my "finished" cabinets installed, walls painted, etc, etc...completed in the garage and now I read that I have to have the damn paint removed from the floor to put tile down. I spent sooooo long cleaning this garage up and there is just no way I'm sanding, and going through a mess of a project cleaning floors and moving all these SUPER HEAVY cabinet out of the garage again.
Help me finish these damn floors............lol
