Garage and car both look perfect.
What is the tough shield finish?

 

[Uncleben]

It is a shiny finish

I hope there is another door in that garage we can't see, it looks like it would be difficult to get that car thru the roll up door on the wall in the rear.

Looks VERY nice - great job!

Not to derail the flooring discussion but I really like the overhead lighting you've got there. Mind if I ask where you bought the fixtures?

Salut Bigshot!


I bought a air hose reel from Costco it's a 3/8x 50' and I modified the ******* for water.

Sweet! It looks great and compliments your 987.

Keep us posted on durability. I like the looks of the racedeck, but have always been concerned about water drainage/sand/dirt wear and tear and damage from hydraulic jack. Are there any other advantages to the Tuffshield product?

I chose Tuffshield for the gloss finish,as per Racedeck the gloss finish is supposed to be really tough.

As tu perdu beaucoup de pression ?

As tu perdu beaucoup de pression ?

Oui un peu surtout du debit mais c'est suffisant pour laver l'auto et faire fonctionné la machine a pression.

Yes a little, especially the flow but it's enough to wash the car and run the pressure washer.

Did you cover your drain in the garage or you worked around it?

I installed a free flow tile over my original drain

Thanks for the comment,by the way I have only one concern about my floor is that I have some static electricity built up so each time I touch my door handle my hair curl .if some one have a fix for that, suggestion are welcome.

Thanks for that pic, your making me really consider this now instead of epoxy. So I got a couple of questions.

What tool did u use to cut the tiles?

What did this cost you? ( pm me if u don't want to show the price. My garage is somewhere around the same size)

Do the tiles move at all on an un leveled concrete floor?

 

[James E]

Uncleben, I hear you. I have Racedeck in my garage now and the one thing that never came up in all of my research is that you develop one helluva static charge walking around the garage. Sometimes the shock is painful.

I can honestly say I have no idea what causes the formation of static electricity but I'd be interested in knowing what to do to rid my garage of that phenomenon.

What did this cost you? GJ have great discount 3.69$ for the tuffshield and 2.69 regular tiles + free shipping in USA.

Thanks James E glade to hear I'm not the only one with this phenomenon

We sometimes hear of this in unusual dry climates and various garage interior/construction set-ups, usually it shortly goes away after the initial install.
One thing that works really well is a static wipe of the floor with a fabric product like Static-Cling. We also have a solution here we sometimes use for temporary computer rooms or computer control trailers in the military, that can be wiped on, but that is over-kill for residential use
