My 10 year old garage floor has too many fine cracks to consider 'coating', so I've been trying to find someone with solid, installed PVC tiles that stay down.
I'm one of those people that 'maneuver' cars, which can screw up a PVC installation (?)...Driving straight in and out is OK, but do tiles try to scrunch up when cranking a vehicle's steering? Received some nice samples of 'Supratile', but I don't find anyone posting with experience with them. Zero interest in flow-through tiles. Am I going to have to glue solid tiles down..?
Don't want to spend big bucks, then have to fight to keep them in place.
Your experience?

I installed Supratile in my 2 car garage and my shop about 4 months ago. I have only driven my car in and out a handful of times and haven't had any issues. I really like it. You can use adhesive if you install it and it moves on you. I don't think it would move with normal car usage.

PVC tiles generally do not need to be glued. If you are cranking the wheels while standing still you will want to glue that area. With PVC tiles its important to do black under the tires

The nice thing about pvc tiles such as like our www.supratile.com is that in the unlikely event you have a problem with movement, you can selectively add adhesive to that area and let the rest of the area float.

When in doubt we always say live with the floor for a while and you can always remedy the situation with adhesive in that area to avoid the hassle and cost of affixing the entire floor.

Even our commercial car dealer only affix the floor in the 'core' and let the rest of the floor such as where the walkways and toolboxes are float.
