new here and need advice

[SINNERDEE]

Hi guys
I have a 500SQ ft garage which for the last year I have had this G Flooring down and returned it earlier today to costco.
I pulled it up to look inderneath and to redo a seam dn well I have a pile of mold underneath it,my garage is heated and air conditioned but its a slab with a broom finish and I guess all the moisture wicked up and got caught under the g floor.
So im right in the middle of deciding to either go with the costco motofloor or the racedeck but im in Ontario Canada and I dont beleive there are any dealers here.
So my question is will the racedeck/moto floor sit properly on a broom finshed floor?

also I see the putting some strategically placed flow through tiles would really help with circulation under the floor so my next question is will the racedeck connect into the motofloor should I have to go that way ?

heres a few pics of my shop

Hi
Welcome to the GJ forum. You will find tons of helpful information to customize your garage here.

RaceDeck will perform perfectly for your application. We also have the FreeFlow open grid tile that might be very good for you as well

We do have a dealer in Canada who inventories a significant amount of RaceDeck. Also, Costco in Canada carries MotoFloor.
If you call during the week, We will make sure that you are taken care of and be sure to mention that you are a Garage Journal member for discounts

Is that a T-Maxx I see?

 

[SINNERDEE]

LOL
no its a savage FLUX
22.8 volt brushless truck
goes around 60 MPH

 

[SINNERDEE]

also is the moto floor and racedeck compatable
are the two interchangable
ie I order mainly motofloor depending on price but then order complimenting peices of racedeck like flow free for some areas and a stripe or two in a different color
Costco seems to offer only white and black or charcoal on its own

 

[RaceDeck1]

Yes & No

The locks on the RaceDeck are a bit more beefy but you can snap a motofloor into the RaceDeck. They will stay together, but not with the same 'positive' lock force as if you had RaceDeck to RaceDeck or MotoFloor to MotoFloor. Also there is a very slight height difference ( and the obvious top tread patterns are not the same).

Thanks

well i tried to contact the canadian place but they are closed til the twelth of feb
so ive ordered the motofloor already ,so now the wait and the anticipation starts and it fell right within what I alloted for cost and if I haev issue costco is second to none for returns

 

[SINNERDEE]

I ordered up all my motofloor,ima busy business guy as some of you im sure can relatea and it was too convenient with costco and doesnt cut into my business day
so now I anxiously await my floor
here is my floorplan

Best of luck with it! If you are concerned about being able to get dirt and mud out from underneath it you may want to consider an open tile such as the Swisstrax RIbtrax or Racedecks product.

 

[RaceDeck1]

If you want to use an open-grid with you MotoFloor, the RaceDeck 'FreeFlow' Tile will interlock with them. seehttp://www.racedeck.com/freeflow.html

 

[SINNERDEE]

i see the gap is a little more than I thought but all in all looks good
Ive already had acomplete free flow floor and I hated it,I work on small
helicopters and loosing screws underneath the mats really was annoying
Question :
I see the edge only goes one way and I have two overhead doors
is there edging with the male connector ??

 

[RaceDeck1]

Hi
Yes we have both male (lugs) and female edges ( loops) . In regards to the FreeFlow and small screws falling though, I can see where that would be tough. We do have other draining tiles that may work see here http://www.duragrid.com/outdoorstyle.html It is called Duragrid and we sell it for patio and outdoor wet areas, it can be used with Racedeck.

 

[SINNERDEE]

im not concerned about water mud etc ,y main concern is to let the slab breathe underneath the Gfloor absolutely didnt perform on a over slab applications
I will be ordering some edging once the floor is in
ill post pics of the finish

 

[Dreamindiesel]

Holy toolboxes! I am jealous. Anxious to see it finished.

 

[awakeinAZ]

Nice rc helo's!

 

[SINNERDEE]

I guess my forum name should have been TOOLBOXFETISH

 

[SINNERDEE]

well install was a breeze and the pattern i chose didnt last long before we
had to redo it.
Ill post up some pics shortly but all in all what a amazing difference and the product seems very good lets hope it wears well

 

[SINNERDEE]

here are some pics of the floor done next will be ceiling and walls in a month or so
I know its a little backwards

 

[RaceDeck1]

Your garage looks great! Please send me a few photos for our site, we would love to have them
Thanks

 

[SINNERDEE]

will do once it is clean and finsihed
I can send some before afters
i need to finish off my workbench to match everything and a few more liitle jobs
its really coming together
its funny though the motofloor only sends female trim peices and i need some male trim parts
so ill be in touch for that

 

[RaceDeck1]

Let me know how many you need and we will send out the some at no charge.

 

[Dave88LX]

its funny though the motofloor only sends female trim peices

I could use some female trim about now...where do I order it again?

 

[Dreamindiesel]

That looks great!

 

[RaceDeck1]

That's a funny one

 

[SINNERDEE]

ive been busy but will post some updated pics shortly
I do have a little concern and that is my jack for my motorcycle has sunk into a few tiles will it come flat again on its own or will the race deck steel ones be neccessary to store my bike on ??
also will my kickstand do the same once it is off the jack

 

[SINNERDEE]
