Big thanks to all here who have shared details on similar projects as I worked through the process of trying to find the right flooring solution for my 30 year old garage floor. Spent countless hours here reviewing projects and pictures and learning about the options. Really an invaluable resource!
I settled on RaceDeck somewhat last minute due to their responsiveness and support on the sales side and bought their product sight unseen. They were a pleasure to deal with both before and after and always super responsive. It came in on Friday and we got it installed over the weekend.
Of note, this is about phase 7 of trying to bring my aged garage back to life - changed the florescent lights, spec'd and ordered new doors (still outstanding thanks to Covid), cleaned up some drywall and re-painted ceiling and walls, parged and painted the cinder block base of the wall, patched a bunch of cracks and variously cleaned the floor. I should have cut some relief lines in I suppose but can do so down the road given my floor is removable!
It's not perfect, but a bunch nicer place to spend time than it was before.
The RaceDeck was a super fit. My floor is very undulated and stained and I made the call that a covering would be best. The RaceDeck tiles went in very easily save for the odd battle around the perimeter where the floor angles up the last inch or so and made connecting the tiles a bit of a battle. That said, we were fully installed in the double garage in about 6 hours or so including getting everything out and back in. Cut the tiles with a reasonably fine (80 tooth) blade on a my compound mitre saw with no issues.
We lost some time when I decided to change the design a tad and we had to remove and rebuild a big section ;-). I was impressed with how solid the tiles were when connected and yet remain pretty easy to separate when you need to.
Still some work to do but here's are a couple shots.
