I have just started a 26x26 detached garage intiatially it will be use to work on my curent MGB restoration project.

I have searched this forum, great info by the way, and have a couple of questions on floring.

I like the look and the ease of installation of the VCT tile. We have used it where I work and holds up well to foot and office traffic. My queston is during my restoration project I will be using floor jacks and have the car on jack stands and am not clear if the VCT will hold up? One of the reasons I like the VCT is if a tile gets damaged I can replace....I think??
Once I finish my project, in the not to distant future I hope, say in the summer how well does VCT hold up to hot tires?

Or with it being new would you suggest a epoxy floor for my application?

I'm also concerned about the flooring say after a rain if it gets damp aren't both slippery?

Thanks in advance for any input
Greg

I installed VCT at the start of last summer so it hasn't been a full year yet. It has made it through a full, hot, Ga. summer and the hot tires had zero affect on my tiles. When I use jack stands, or the jack, I place a small square of 3/8 plywood under them. I cut one square for each and save them for this purpose and they protect the tiles. As for rain so far it's not hurt anything either. The car doesn't slip and as yet niether does my family. I couldn't be happier with the VCT.

Think about it this way, grocery stores use it without much problem. It also stands up to pallet jacks and night crew abuse.
