Racedeck and tire chains

[SteveCh]

I've been planning my Racedeck stuff, the co. has been helpful, sending me the samples, etc. I just had a thought. Some winters, I end up using tire chains on my pickup, and I install them and remove them on the garage floor, where it is dry and I am not fighting snow to do it. Naturally.

Am I going to need to plan on putting down some, say, strips of old plywood or something to protect the tiles from the chains? I am talking chains on all 4 wheels here. It isn't a deal-killer if I need to do this, but I am getting rid of extraneous "stuff" while cleaning the place out and will need to hang on to some old ply pieces if this is a concern.

Anyone have experience in this?

The tile samples look great, meanwhile.

Hi Steve!

Thank you for considering RaceDeck for your application. We are located in Utah, where we get a lot of snow ourselves. RaceDeck was designed with all of the elements in mind. The chains will not damage the floor at all.

Thanks, Jorgen. I figured so, but I wanted to double check. Samples look great.

I like this a lot but will it resist the steel wheels of an engine hoist, or engine stand with a big block on it?

 

[RaceDeck1]

Michel, Yes! Absolutely. RaceDeck was designed to be used in a working shop and garage.

Steve,

I'm glad you received the samples! Where are you located?

Standard chain or cleated chains...cause cleated will destroy anything they run over eventually.

Steve,

I'm glad you received the samples! Where are you located?

I am in the Colorado Rockies at 8500 ft. elevation. Meaning, UV is a factor for anything in sunlight. I am working toward putting some of your UV stabilized tiles [Duragrid] in a "carport" which is actually enclosed except for the front, open to the sun. Or, I am thinking the Duragrid in the area that receives direct sunlight for several hours a day. The color selection for the UV stuff is limited, but I am ok with that part. I have a tablesaw and chainsaw sharpening area and vise, etc., set up in a little nook built off the carport itself and that can take any of your tiles.

Thanks to your staff for sending samples out so promptly.

Steve,

I'm happy to hear you received good service from my staff! You probably worked with Dunja, she is rep for Colorado. If you need to reach her again, her email address is [email protected]!

Thank you.
